“The average American goes to a martial arts/self defense class for only one hour 2 -3 times a week. A martial artist with limited training time should use what time he has to learn and perfect the self-defense material. He/She should do the fitness and health stuff at the gym or on his/her own.”
Grandmaster John Pellegrini, Creator of Combat Hapkido
Thank you for taking the time to visit our website.
We feature Combat Hapkido, a modern system of Hapkido, true combatives training, and techniques and ideals rooted in Russian Systema.
We are also the ONLY group in Western Pennsylvania affiliated with the International Hapkido Federation.
We teach adults a practical, effective and realistic system of Street Self Defense and we empower children to know not only how to defend themselves but also give them the confidence and ability to succeed in social situations.
Zarilla Self-Defense is the leading source of instruction for Combatives and Self-Defense training in Lawrence County. No one does it better than we do.
Our Art specializes in Street Combat Self-Defense! NOT SPORT!
Our training is intended to teach students efficient and effective methods of practical self defense. We offer dynamic personalized training along with quality martial arts instruction. Our small classes allow for a more personal touch. And is great for women looking to learn how to protect themselves
