The academy’s website, https://www.thewarriorsedge.com/, presents a school built for students with different goals, whether they want practical personal safety skills, structured martial arts education, or a place to train consistently with experienced guidance. Its program list includes Warrior Women Self-Defense, Escape & Survive Self-Defense, S.A.F.E. College Self-Defense, Ninja Rangers for ages 4-7, Youth Martial Arts for ages 8-12, Adult Martial Arts Programs, Aiki Ninjutsu, Aikido, Karate, Firearms Training, and a martial arts supply store, giving the school a wide reach within the local training community.
