Welcome to Ziwak’s Martial Arts. We bring our students decades of combined martial arts experience.
We have competed both nationally and internationally. A number of champions have emerged from our school. Our
philosophy and methods find meaning in the traditional values, such as respect and discipline. We blend them,
however, with a practical and innovative approach to our training methods.
Dedication to the values of honesty, integrity, perseverance, self-control, and indomitable spirit has brought
meaning to our lives and the lives of thousands of our students. The practice of martial arts is a way of life
we have been called to share.
