Practical Self-Defense · Oklahoma City
Self-defense that works in the real world — not in competition arenas.
Now training at the International Dance Studio on NW 73rd St. Practical karate & jujitsu that works when it matters most — for men, women, teens, and kids, in shape or out of shape.
Come train with us — completely free for a full week. Men, women, teens, and kids are all welcome. Come see if we're the right fit. No pressure, no obligation — just real training.
Our Approach
We teach self-defense that works in the real world, not in competition arenas. At Arma Defense Jujitsu, we focus on practical self-defense for everyday people. Our training combines traditional martial arts with modern defensive tactics, creating a system that works whether you're in-shape or out-of-shape, young or old.
With over 50 years of combined teaching experience, our instructors understand what works in real situations. We draw from classical judo, jujitsu, and karate to teach techniques that use leverage and body mechanics rather than brute strength.
Our program is designed for safety and effectiveness. Most of our instructors are over 50, and we train techniques that work without requiring you to be a great athlete. This is self-defense for people who want practical skills without the risk of injury.
"You will perform as you've trained. If your training isn't realistic, it won't work when you need it most."
— Dr. Randall Schubert, Founder

Parents are welcome to bring their kids — children and teens are part of the training, and our instructors work with them individually as needed. Our kids training blends age-appropriate self-defense with anti-bullying strategies. Kids learn how to stand tall, set boundaries, and de-escalate — without becoming aggressive. Children learn how to recognize bullying, use verbal de-escalation, and defend themselves only as a last resort — always with respect and discipline.
• Verbal de-escalation — what to say when someone won't back off
• Body language & confidence — how to carry yourself so you're less of a target
• Physical defense basics — simple escapes and blocks that work for smaller bodies
• When to get help — recognizing when a situation needs an adult
Respect & discipline are the foundation of all our kids training. Our instructors are experienced with children and teens, and we keep the focus on safety and respect — never fear or retaliation.
