About Us

 

 

Triad Martial Arts is a self-defense and martial arts program focused on awareness and practical self-defense. Our self-defense component is grounded in Tony Blauer's SPEAR system (see https://blauerspear.com/).  Our lead instructor (Conrad Smith) is a certified SPEAR coach. 

 

The "Triad" in our name is rooted in a simple principle: The one who controls the space, time, and energy typically wins the fight.

 

Our program builds people up by using martial arts to develop fitness, confidence, and character, thus empowering them to live more skillful, meaningful, and courageous lives for themselves and for others.

​

Our character development focuses on seven virtues that martial arts enhance.  These virtues develop physical, spiritual, and relational excellence:

 

Balance (Humility, Temperance)

Posture (Kindness, Justice)

Timing (Patience, Prudence)

Quickness (Diligence, Hope)

Flexibility (Charity, Love)

Power (Purity, Faith)

Endurance (Self-Control, Fortitude)

​

Because a local church graciously donates space, a free class is offered weekly to the community. It is held on Tuesday evenings at 7:00pm. People of all ages are welcome. Workshops and private lessons can also be arranged.  If you would like more information, please contact us at:
