WE OUR OPEN! and WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS! New second location coming to the Percy Flowers, Clayton, NC. area soon, please call for more information. Southern School of Martial Arts and Rivers Edge Bujinkan Dojo is following and even exceeding all the CDC Covid 19 guidelines to make training as safe as it can be. At Southern School of Martial Arts students learn specialized self defense and reality based martial arts. We are a non sport self defense martial arts school that forces on the self defense aspect of martial arts. This is a great art for those children who are being bullied at school or for those adults wanting to learn effective self defense. Our martial art is based in Classic Ju-Jitsu with a blend of Ninjutsu, Aikido, Judo, Karate, Eskrima and Kali. It is a very dynamic martial art style that offers much more than just Karate or Tae Kwon Do. There are striking techniques like punching and kicking that are very similar to Tae Kwon Do and Karate. But that is where the similarities stop. We also teach grappling techniques both standing and on the ground, throwing techniques, various joint locks, weapons techniques, weapon disarms and retention, techniques for police and military and specialty classes for those who want private training. We also have Rivers Edge Bujinkan Dojo in the same building that teaches the traditional art of the Bujinkan. This is Ninjutsu the historical martial art of the Ninja. This art teaches weapons, striking and grappling with stealth and outdoor training. We also teach select techniques and aspects of several other martial arts that Soke has experience with, these are Russian Martial Arts, Krav Maga and JKD. If you want more than just Karate or Tae Kwon Do please check us out. We have classes for children ages 3 to 5 called Little Ninja, classes for children ages 6 to 12 called Kobushi-Do "The Little Warrior Way" and classes for teens and adults Manabi-Masho Ju-Jitsu and Bujinkan Ninjutsu. We are now accepting students at both the McGee's Crossroads, NC. location and for the new location coming to the Clayton area soon.
