Open Hand Self Defense

Open Hand Self Defense, or OHSD, teaches situational science through an applicable Martial Arts point of view.  We offer various types of self-defense classes for men, women, and children of all ages.

Self-defense can include a wide variety of methods and approaches to dealing with an attack. At OHSD, we embrace all the meanings of the words “self-defense” and our teachings reflect this approach. OHSD is not a sparring school.  Instead, our curriculum is designed to teach situational awareness and efficient self-defense using techniques from Hapkido, Karate, Muay Thai, Tai Chi, and sticks. We also hold special workshops in TRU and IPDTI.

At OHSD, we’ll teach you various methods, explore different scenarios, and teach you the right way to defend yourself in almost any situation. We believe it is best to always shy from an altercation, but also be prepared for one.
