Learn martial arts-based self defense that includes basic escapes, strikes, and exercises to increase awareness of your own body and your abilities to defend it. Each of us is capable of defending ourselves if necessary. Within a community of resistance, we should be comfortable with our bodies—feel safe in them–and be confident in our physical strength as much as possible.
This is a dangerous world. Being prepared for confrontation is different than creating it. It’s a question of preparation. In a casual, non-competitive space we should be able to help each other learn how to defend our bodies and be more comfortable with our physical abilities.

In 2007, he began to spread his particular expression of real-world martial arts officially as “Sensei Gregory C. Lewis’ Modern Karate”. Since it is primarily a system of real-world self-defense, it is also known as “Shigaisen (‘street-fighting’) Karate”.
Sensei Lewis is also a certified wellness coach, group exercise instructor, radio show host, and human rights activist.
