Children Stranger Awareness Program
Ambrose Academy has developed a successful and entertaining program to teach youngsters the tools for dealing with strangers. We are dedicated to bringing safety skills to our children and making them STRANGER SMART©. We're proud to say that our program is proven effective and featured in our local paper.
We have made presentations to local Cub Scout troops, Brownie troops, and many area elementary schools. We can do the same for your group too. We will be happy to bring our program to your local classroom, school, or group. If you prefer, a field trip to our school can also be arranged.

 

After School Martial Arts Fundraising
It is required of martial art instructors to support their community and to inspire others to achieve excellence through the study of Martial Arts. In this spirit we would like to help your school raise funds for the PTO or other fundraising organization while we introduce students to the benefits of the martial arts. This is a six-week program offered by a highly trained martial arts instructor who will come to your school once a week after the school day is complete and hold class for 40 minutes on the premises. Our program has raised funds for playground equipment, athletic uniforms, school yard fence, and library renovations. It is a no cost way of generating needed funding for your project.

Women's Self Defense Camp
This program is presented twice a year. It is a weekend camp devoted to self-defense for women. The techniques presented in this two day camp are specifically tailored from unique body mechanics developed by the WCD system. This program applies bare bone, no frills, survival techniques proven effective for surviving and escaping common street attacks. Among the topics covered are: common grab escapes, defenses on the ground, incapacitating striking techniques, and small joint locks. You will learn the mechanics of power generation, and the secrets of reducing your reaction time. You will tap into the natural intensity of your emotions and use it to your advantage. In addition to physical self-defense, there will be presentations on other women safety issues. Bring your friends, sisters, daughters and mothers to this dynamic camp.

Juniors Grappling Class
Ages 10 and up will enjoy Junior Grappling. It offers our young students an alternative to the punch - kick type of sparring required of the Junior WCD class. Junior Grappling will teach a variety of takedowns, holds, locks, escapes and ground fighting. This is a great class for weight loss and building overall body strength. This class is a good follow-up to the grappling taught in our Kid's Class.

Chi Sao Class
Chi Sao (Sticking Hands) is a form of sensitivity training common to all styles of Wing Chun. Sibok Ambrose has developed a innovative training method for learning what has been dubbed as "Soft Style Chi Sao." His "listening" spring load will develop sensitivity far beyond any other learning method. You will develop an intuitive sense of touch and natural energy flow, effectively reading and immobilizing your opponent's strikes virtually before he attacks. We have a double focus on both defensive and offensive Chi Sao making this class perfect for any style Chi Sao player.

"… his innovative ideas of Chi Sao, immediately improved the students' flow and reactions. His insight to a more fluid use of spring energy will not only improve everyone's Chi Sao but many aspects of trapping."
