Awareness Combat Training senses
Awareness
Awareness Combat Training is one of the Most Valuable self-defense systems available today. Not only does it offer a life-changing workout that accommodates every lifestyle and fitness level, but it also focuses on cultivating your self-defense skills beyond the training center by stressing the Importance of situational awareness.
While it’s easy to succeed in a controlled setting within a training facility, real-world attacks throw the rules of guided instruction out the window. The ability to recognize a potentially dangerous situation within your day-to-day life and subsequently develop a method to remove yourself from that scenario if needed is a primary focus of ACT training. Situational awareness and genuine safety are inextricably linked, making the modern, real-life focus of ACT training particularly effective.
If you want to make the most of your ACT training, you have to start by improving your situational awareness. In other words, you have to hone your ability to be fully aware of your surroundings at all times, allowing you to react effectively if a dangerous situation were to arise — and in many cases, allowing you to remove yourself from such situations in the first place.
Preparedness
In our ACT training, we believe that although being aware can greatly cut down on the likelihood of an assault happening the chances are still there. ACT students are trained in the most efficient & most effective self defense strategies.
The ACT training ensures that not only you are prepared but that you have prepared your surroundings for Whatever Life Throws at You. By not only preparing yourself with the right techniques ACT will ensure your surroundings are prepared to make sure you are ready for every situation you could encounter. When you and your surroundings are prepared you and your families life is safer.
Mental & Emotional Strategies
Have you ever had someone jump out from behind something and scare you? Have you had a friend sneak up behind you and scared you?
In that moment you gasped and held your breath. Your heart rate went up, fear set in and momentarily you were paralyzed!
ACT teaches students how to be ready and prepared for the moment the attack happens. Students are trained so that the fight or flight instinct is ready. Students work not only on pads and equipment but are also training with each other and working on creating stressful environments that help simulate real world situations so that if the situation arises, You are Prepared for Whatever Life Throws a You!
Assessing the Situation
Part of your awareness training is learning to assess the situation. Our ACT students are trained to subconsciously always be aware and always be assessing everything going on around you. ACT prepares you so that this is no longer a conscious decision but something that is automatic.
When the attack happens you have seen it moments before it happens. Your ACT training helps you to “slow down” the attack so that you know what to do, what strategies to use, what resources that you have with and around you, to see if there are other threats and how to exit the situation.

Overcoming & Neutralizing the Attack
Although in a perfect world we would be safe and never have to worry about an attack, the reality is that the possibility of encountering a situation is greater than you think. When the encounter happens ACT will prepare you to de-escalate and walk away if possible. When de-escalation is not a possibility, the ACT tools will give u everything you need to neutralize the attack and to overcome and neutralize the attacker / attackers.
Simply put, ACT will keep you Prepared for Whatever Life Throws a You!
Health and Fitness
In addition to being an excellent self-defense system, ACT is a great high-intensity workout that inevitably leads to amazing physical fitness. In fact, many people start self-defense classes for the physical benefits they offer. ACT can be a really hard workout, so it is highly effective and you can start seeing results faster than with other forms of training.
Each class starts with a warm-up and combines high-intensity training with various aerobic moves throughout the session. The punches, kicks, and other exercises ensure you work out muscles that aren’t normally exercised through everyday activities or even weight lifting.
At the end of a class, you will have completed a full-body workout that burns calories, tones and builds your muscles, and improves your cardiovascular system, strength, and stamina. Indeed, you can burn around 500-900 calories in one hour.

It's hard not to like this place. Sure you can find other places to teach a form of Martial Arts but MAU is different. It starts at the top Master Harris is truly a Master; his ability to connect quickly with students regardless of gender,race or socioeconomic status is pretty special. However it doesn't stop there, each and every instructor brings something unique to the table. As you watch them all interact with each other and their students you quickly understand what first looks like chaos is really a controlled environment designed for multiple student/teacher connect points focused to encourage and motivate. Success is not always defined as the best form but who puts forth the best effort, dedication and focus. I'm seeing that does come as long as the effort is there. So if you want your child to learn more than just Tae Kwon Do from people who are passionate, caring and really love their "job" give this place a try.

The instructors at MAU do a fabulous job teaching martial arts, but they don't stop there. They make it their mission to make their students better people. My children enjoyed their classes so much that I tried it as well. I have had a great experience and can confidently say that MAU is a wonderful place to train for both children and adults.

I love Martial Arts University they’ve received us with such love and respect. My son loves going to this school. At first he was scared and shy, now he shows confidence, growth, and understanding. I’m proud of my son and proud to say Martial Arts University is the place for your kids to be.

I am the first to admit that I was always a little skeptical of taekwando, thinking it was "strip mall" karate. However I could not have been more wrong with MAU and especially Master Todd Harris. I began by enrolling both my daughters, 5 & 8 into a Summer camp. After about 4 weeks I started to see a massive transformation in their confidence and excitement. I was so impressed that I as a 42 year old started to take taekwando for myself. I have lost 6 lbs and more importantly have an opportunity to work out with my girls 3 days a week. The leadership at MAU is first class, spending as much time developing the character of the students, as they do their techniques. I have recommended this dojo to several friends and colleagues, and give MAU the easiest 5 star rating to date. Be it for your child or for yourself, its time and effort very well spent.

Martial Arts University is a great place to bring your kids! The instructors are really in-tune with both adults and kids in the classes. They are top-notch and really, really good people. There is always a message attached to each class regarding becoming a better person, targeted towards the kids in the class. The life lesson portion of each class is quick but meaningful and includes respect, perseverance, gratitude, generosity and many other traits that are important for children to learn.
