New Classes Opening!
Pear Tree Self Defense Center is happy to announce the addition of nighttime and daytime classes to our curriculum. Starting Monday October 5, 2026 I will offer ongoing Jeet Kune Do classes on Mondays through Thursdays from 6 till 8 pm. Also, for those who work the evening and night shifts in the area, I am offering daytime hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10am till noon. As always, there are no contracts or testing fees at our school. Your first 4 classes are free and after that, only $75 monthly. I will personally be teaching these additional classes. I invite you all to train in Bruce Lee's fighting method and learn to defend yourself with this proven street defense method.
Kids ages 10 and up invited to join classes Starting June 2026!
We will be adding kids to our classes starting on June 2, 2026, open to kids age 10 and up. The curriculum will consist of striking, trapping, kicking, and grappling techniques that have a basis in real-world self-defense. Check the schedule for up-to-date class times. Kids welcome at all classes!
