Meet your instructor Jeremiah!

As a black belt in Ninjutsu, head instructor, and dojo partner at Discovery Self-Defense, I have been training in Ninjutsu since 2011. My dedication to the art has shaped my approach to teaching, with an emphasis on practical self-defense, personal growth, confidence, and discipline for students of all ages.

In addition to my martial arts background, I have pursued outdoor education through various courses focused on plant identification, plant medicine, survival skills, emergency preparedness, and outdoor self-reliance. These complementary areas of study reflect my commitment to developing practical knowledge and skills that help people become more capable, adaptable, and prepared for unexpected situations.

As an instructor, my goal is to help students develop practical skills and confidence they can carry beyond the dojo and apply in everyday life.

You don't train to fight. You train to survive. Because someone is waiting for you to come home.

Real-world violence doesn't come with warnings, rules, or second chances. When your safety is threatened, your ability to react, defend yourself, and escape can make all the difference.

At Discovery Self Defense, we teach practical, real-world skills designed to help you protect yourself when it matters most. Because at the end of the day, the goal isn't to win a fight — it's to make it home to the people who love you.

Join us on the mats to learn self defense for everyday life at DiscoverySelfDefense.com

Someone grabs your wrist—what do you do next?

The key to breaking free is knowing where the grip is weakest: the space where the thumb and fingers meet. Instead of fighting against the strongest part of the grip, learn to move through that weak point.

Watch as Jeremiah and Dave demonstrate a simple wrist-grab escape and show how the right technique can make all the difference.

Want to learn skills like this in person? Come train with us at Discovery Self Defense.

Train smart. Be prepared. Know how to respond.
