WHY Martial Arts?

Can you physically defend yourself? Are you capable of defending a loved one if they were being physically assaulted? Most people can’t, or falsely believe they can. In most attacks, a person doesn’t have enough time to draw a weapon – if they’re even carrying. Quickly an attack can become a life or death situation if your attacker realizes you are armed and they start trying to access your weapon. Unless you know how to use your hands and body, you can quickly become a statistic. Toe 2 Toe is the premier martial arts school in Conway Arkansas. Our focus is on guiding you through your journey of building skills and confidence that will transform your life.

MORE THAN SELF-DEFENSE

At its core, martial arts is a self-defense art. But more than that it promotes a total transformation of mind and body. Practicing martial arts strengthens your mind and body. Your strength and conditioning improve. Your mind becomes sharp. You gain discipline that influences other areas in your life where you’re lacking. In the process, you discover a level of confidence you never imagined possible, and form friendships that last a lifetime.

Curtis is a great teacher and friend, and I wish I could have continued to train with him. One of the best experiences I've ever had was training with him.

We took our team of seven women and one man to the Street Smart Self Defense Class put on by Toe2Toe and it was AMAZING! I was so thankful we could all walk away with real techniques and training we could use to make wise decisions, be aware, evade and escape, and fight if needed. 10 out of 10 recommend doing this with all your high school, college students, running buddies, girlfriends, etc. We are living in crazy times and this info just might save your life!

Toe2Toe taught a self defense class to our church youth camp over zoom. It was very informative, interesting and engaging for the kids even through video. The youth came away knowing how to avoid bad situations when possible and how to protect themselves physically if they ever need to. They were able to teach several principles and techniques in our short 30 minute class.

We have worked with Toe 2 Toe in Conway in a few different ways.My children are in the children's kickboxing class. They love it!!

We were looking for a martial arts program for our 4 year old daughter. Even though they start lessons at 5 y/o the instructor let us come in to shadow some classes so my daughter and I could see if it was a good fit. The instructors and other kids were so patient with my daughter. There was an area for parents to sit and watch the lesson. They offer multiple days for classes and they had the latest time slots compared to all other places in Conway which is helpful for us as we commute. The class prices are very reasonable and theres no monthly fee so you can come/go and not pay for classes if you're out of town/sick/etc!Mu daughter was still a little young so we are going to wait another year but we will be back!!
Lindsey Baskerville
My kids enjoy training and learning kickboxing and ju jitsu at toe 2 toe. Sensei Joel is awesome with the children, very calm and understanding. Within the short time that they have been there, they have learned so much. We felt so welcomed the moment we met Sensei Joel and walked into the door.

CONFIDENCE

The feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of one’s own abilities or skills. In Martial Arts this is knowing what to do, when to do it, and how to utilize self-defense. It also translates into self-esteem at work, in relationships, and in the presence of strangers. It is the core advantage every student gains with hard work and discipline.

SELF-DEFENSE

The act of using any available means to reduce or escape harm. In Martial Arts this includes, but is not limited to, leaving the area, talking your way out of bad situations, using “stun and run” tactics, employing improvised or modern weapons, and lastly engaging in physical confrontation until help arrives, the enemy is incapacitated, or escape is possible. At Toe2Toe in Conway, AR our students have options and make good choices to avoid conflict. They also have the ability to resolve conflict using techniques and skills learned under our guidance.

FRIENDSHIPS

Conway’s Toe2Toe Martial Arts isn’t just a place to work out like the local gym. It is a place to make lifelong friendships with other good natured people like you. There is a true brotherhood here where we can show trust and respect without fear of rejection. We help each other, have fun together, and even watch out for one another.
