Shepherd-Warrior Martial Arts (formerly Billings Chi-Tu Do) offers the only Christ-centered martial arts training in Billings and the surrounding area. We have many different programs available, depending on what you want to get out of your training:
Traditional Martial Arts - We teach an eclectic style called Chi-Tu Do, which blends Taekwondo, Kung Fu, Ju Jitsu and Eskrima. We have classes for children (ages 5-8 and ages 9-13) and adults (14 and up). Students in these classes wear karate uniforms and work themselves through a belt system on their way to Black Belt. These classes have a spiritual aspect to them as well as the physical. We teach martial arts from a Christian perspective.
Krav Maga - This Israeli self-defense system gives adult students (ages 14 and up) the opportunity to learn simple and effective self-defense skills outside of the "traditional martial art" environment. There are no uniforms or belts here - street clothes and shoes work fine. It is an awesome workout, but you do not have to "be in shape" to get started. We work with people of all "shapes" and sizes and give you the skills to defend yourself in a fun and exciting class setting.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu - If you are looking for a program that teaches grappling skills, then this one is for you. Our instructors teach Judo and Jiu Jitsu skills to students of all abilities. We typically wear the traditional BJJ gi (uniform), but sometimes we work on no-gi skills as well. While BJJ has been view as a sport martial art, our instructors focus more on the self-defense aspects of the art.
FAST Defense - We are the only school in Montana that teaches the acclaimed FAST Defense seminars. Voted "Best Women's Self Defense" program by Black Belt magazine, our short-term seminar style classes give students the opportunity to learn skills and apply them under adrenal stress in actual full force scenarios. These seminars are between 2-3 hours and so they give people the chance to learn and practice effective skills without having to sign up for a long term class.
All of these class options are available throughout the year. Call us at (406) 591-2864 to schedule your first appointment so we can get to know you and what you are most interested in. We look forward to helping you learn and reach your goals.
