Martial Arts are a great way to get in shape
Martial arts is like an exercise program with a bonus! You learn to defend yourself while you get in shape. Our adult students really appreciate the difference between martial arts training and standard exercise programs.

Our adult martial arts classes relieve stress
Martial arts classes are well known for their stress relieving benefits. The emphasis on mind-body training goes far beyond the benefits of standard health club type exercise programs.

Our classroom practice sessions give you confidence
The confidence building part of our program is what students appreciate the most. Nothing can take the place of the security in knowing that you can defend yourself, if you have to.

What we teach you could save your life
At our school, everything we teach is reality based. Our instructors work very hard to insure that our students learn to defend themselves with practical self-defense techniques.

Our program is a lot of fun
The reason our program is so successful is because we make the classes fun and exciting. We learned a long time ago that when our students are having fun they learn much faster.

Cardio-Kickboxing at Club Fit
Cardio-kickboxing (a.k.a. aerobic boxing, Aerobox, Boxercise, Boxaerobics and others) is a high-impact cardiovascular workout that blends elements of boxing, martial arts and traditional aerobics into a 30- to 60-minute exercise routine. Classes vary but generally feature a variety of punches, kicks, knee strikes and other self-defense moves interspersed with a bouncing "base" move. Some cardio-kickboxing classes spend at least part of the time kicking and punching weighted, padded targets or engaging in actual sparring. The class may also incorporate traditional exercises, such as jumping jacks, abdominal crunches, leg lifts and push-ups to create a total body workout.
Mr. Suggs teaches cardio-kickboxing every Monday and Wednesday at Club Fit, located in Briarcliff Manor, New York.  Note - Requires Club Fit membership.

CDT Training
CDT is the most effective non-deadly force system in the world. In thousands of street-tested circumstances where justifiable force was needed, CDT has been effectively employed without a single permanent injury to any person. CDT has adapted effective yet simple techniques to create practical personal protection programs and womens self defense programs. CDT also developed a child safety program called Know and Go™ that trains kids on how and when to run to safety.

These programs will teach you what to do about domestic violence and how to avoid domestic violence. Now you can have the opportunity to learn women's self defense and child safety through CDT, the most effective non deadly force system in the world! Shin Ri Tan Kyu offers certified courses in the following 3 areas:

Personal Protection
Tens of thousands of professionals from all walks of life such as law enforcement, security personnel, military, doctors, nurses, teachers, lawyers, airline personnel and everyday families have successfully completed CDT Certification Courses throughout the world. Now its your turn to take advantage of these same opportunities. 

Family Protection
This innovative program, the first of its kind to ever be developed, focuses on training the entire family as a unit. Each family member is taught a different responsibility from distraction techniques or cover and evacuation procedures, when and if the need arises. Statistics prove that many acts of violence happen around children and CDT takes the approach that children are our most precious gifts of all and this type of training emphasizes their safety at all costs via easy to learn sound, verbal, and movement drills.

Law Enforcement
When a law enforcement officer needs to utilize less-than-deadly force by means of empty handed tactics, that person must be able to do so quickly, skillfully, and with reduced risk and liability to all concerned. The longer the officer has to be engaged with a subject, the greater risk of losing the altercation or suffering injury or even death. Moreover, depending upon a subjects actions and the situation at hand, the officer may have to increase or decrease the amount of force employed. CDT techniques allow for necessary escalation and de-escalation of lawful force without causing serious or deadly injury. No other non-lethal training system can make this claim.
