Why Train Self Defense at Edge FItness LLC in Kernersville?
At Edge Fitness & Combat Arts, our self-defense program is built for the real world—not theory, not sport, but practical skills designed to help you protect yourself and the people around you when it matters most. We combine powerful striking from boxing and kickboxing, effective grappling from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Sambo, and proven self-defense strategies into one complete system that works under pressure.
What truly sets our program apart is our focus on Fear and Adrenal Stress Training (FAST). Real confrontations are fast, chaotic, and high-pressure, and we train you to stay calm, think clearly, and act decisively when your heart is racing and adrenaline is high. You won’t just learn techniques—you’ll learn how to apply them when it counts.
Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday at 6:30 PM and are led by world-class instructors Josh Tufte and Jon Phipps, who bring over 50 years of combined experience in martial arts, self-defense, and real-world application. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced learner, you’ll be pushed, supported, and developed in a way that builds true confidence and capability.
If you’re looking for a self-defense program in Kernersville that goes beyond the basics and prepares you for real situations, this is it.
