House of Discipline

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.

We have not stopped training even in these unusual and difficult times. In fact our schedule has even expanded! Classes are currently being held online according to our regular schedule, while additional classes are being offered outside for those who are interested.

October 2020 Black Belt Testing

Undaunted by cold weather and the challenges of the present time, our students have ceaselessly progressed with their training. As a result, two students have tested for and earned their black belt, as well as others advancing even further through their ranks beyond black belt. This comes as the result of continuous training and the endurance of a multiple hour test in the cold October morning weather.
