Duer’s ATA Martial Arts program is customized for adults. Unlike our children’s program, these programs focus on high-intensity fitness and real-world self-defense.

Most adults can only do so many aerobic classes or run so many solo miles before they start dreaming of something more enjoyable and exciting to do to stay in shape. Our martial arts curriculum is a great way to stay in shape that doesn’t become dull or routine because as soon as you get better and learn more there are always more challenges ahead to keep you inspired and coming back for more training.

Our students join for the ability to take care of themselves in any potentially dangerous, or uncomfortable situation, even though most of our adults seldom if ever, get into a fighting situation. They often find themselves, however, in an uncomfortable situation, such as walking to their car late at night or escorting their spouse or friend in a less than secure neighborhood. It’s at times like these that martial arts training greatly enhances your ability to really take care of yourself, or someone you care for when the time arises.

These fitness-based martial arts classes will help you reach your goals. Running and mountain biking are still great activities, but if that’s all you do for your fitness you may end up limiting your flexibility. Because these activities are basically ‘linear’ in nature they don’t challenge you to develop in all the areas of fitness. That is why most professional athletes cross-train outside of their chosen sport. There is nothing like martial arts training to develop you into your maximum potential both physically and mentally.
