About Us

We are a family oriented martial art training facility. Our goal is to provide our students with the best possible training and a state of the art training facility. Since 1997 we have traveled all over the United States to train with the top instructors in the world in the fields of traditional martial arts, self defense, competition, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Our instructors are motivated individuals that are dedicated to bringing the most advanced training to our students in all areas of self defense. Our head instructors are 6th degree black belts in Taekwondo and also hold degrees in physical education and health.

U.S. Family Martial Art's background in competition sparring comes from years of Kurt Fuhrmann traveling to train with former U.S. Olympic coach Jean Lopez & 2 time Olympic gold medalist Steven Lopez.
 

Our self defense program originated from over 10 years of extensive training with police & law enforcement instructors from all over the United States and Canada.

Becoming a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Certified Training Center, U.S. Family Martial Arts continues to train directly with the Gracie family in California. Known for its ability to allow a smaller individual to defeat a much larger opponent, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is being used worldwide by hundreds of military and law enforcement agencies.
 

Our quest to bring the best training to our students does not stop at the physical level. Over the years we have hosted many top trainers and added their expertise to our combat psychology. We are honored to train with Lt. Col. David Grossman, Retired Army Ranger, Former Instructor at West Point, Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, world's authority on school shootings. His work inspires our students and many others to make the world a better place.

More recently, together with Lt. Col. David Grossman we hosted Soke Jeff Hall from Force Options to learn the martial art of Hojutsu-Ryu during a three-day seminar.  Hojutsu-Ryu is the "the Art of Gunnery," which combines of the Modern Technique of the Pistol and traditional Japanese budo.  This is yet another step to further the training of our instructors and students.

According to Lt. Col. David Grossman: "I am a graduate of Front Sight, Gun Site, Sig Arms Academy and many military and mil spec ops schools.  And this three day Hojutsu class is the best firearms training I have ever experienced.  It brought me up to a whole new level  of personal performance.  Soke Hall is a supernatural shooter.  Far and away the best shot I have ever seen.  He is a legendary law enforcement officer, Army Ranger, and much more.”
