Quest Self Defense - Longmont
Not all martial arts are karate, and it isn't just for kids.
Self-defense begins with awareness, each moment offering crucial cues to aid your escape to safety. We embrace techniques emphasizing positioning and alignment rather than relying solely on strength. We prioritize timing over sheer speed, focusing on practicality over flashy moves.
​
Discover your innate strength, capability, and capacity to tackle challenging situations, whether standing up to adversity or managing daily tasks.
​
As you progress, techniques become sneakier, more nuanced, and effortless - ideal for those seeking practicality over showmanship and competition.
​
But it's not for everyone!
We do not work with children (unless training directly with a parent), and we’re not about competition or chasing belt ranks.
Here's who we are looking for:​
If you are open to new ways of understanding and willing to grow and change to be the best version of yourself possible, we invite you to apply for enrollment at Quest Self Defense Longmont.
