See How Family Force Martial Arts Self-Defense Bootcamp Stands Apart
Not all fitness programs or self-defense classes offer the same level of impact. Compare our Self-Defense Bootcamp at Family Force Martial Arts to traditional gyms, recreational sports, or standard self-defense programs—and see why more teens and adults in Jefferson City and Osage Beach choose us for real-world skills, lasting confidence, and a stronger community.
Standard gyms and fitness classes often focus only on cardio or strength without teaching skills that protect you outside the gym.
Recreational sports or group classes rarely adapt to your personal safety needs or specific situations you may face.
At standard gyms, you’re often left on your own, which can make it easy to lose focus or motivation.
Most programs either focus solely on fitness or overly complicated martial arts that feel unrealistic for real-life situations.
Without structured programs or personal attention, it’s easy to plateau or feel lost.
Our Bootcamp combines functional fitness with practical self-defense skills you can use in everyday life.
Every session is designed for teens and adults who want to feel safer, stronger, and more confident in daily life.
Train alongside others who share your goals. Our instructors and classmates keep you motivated, supported, and progressing.
Our veteran-led program focuses on easy-to-learn, proven skills that help you react quickly and decisively when it matters.
Stay on track with clear milestones, hands-on instruction, and guidance every step of the way.

You’ll train in a way that builds endurance, power, and agility, all while learning to move confidently and react decisively in high-pressure situations.

Family Force Martial Arts of Jefferson City is the place to go if you want to get yourself or child into martial arts. It’s a joy to watch Chief Master Edwards work with his class. You can tell he truly cares for the students and lives for Taekwondo. I love that they incorporate the parents into some of the training as it makes the class even more fun for the kids. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Family Force Martial Arts for our son.
Great place my brother Issac goes and he loves it my name is madi and I'm his little sister
Family Force is an incredible environment for our family to learn and master Taekwondo. Senior Master Edwards, Ms. Suzanne and the staff are amazing and put the students first above anything else! We are so lucky to have the opportunity to learn Martial Arts in such a great place.

Nothing but great things to say!!! The staff is so helpful and so polite!! They will definitely not leave you behind like most places will !! They also make class such a great time! My biggest regret is not signing up with them a while back ago.
Good training for all members of a family
I highly recommend. My only regret is not signing my son up sooner. Everyone is amazing, excellent with kids, clean, organized, and personable. My son has learned so much in a short period of time. I enjoy watching him grow week by week.
I highly recommend Family Force. They provide a wonderful program for our 3 kids and a positive environment for all students. The structure and life skills are great tools as well.
Child started taking classes. They are very good and attentive to all children. It was such a good experience we decided to continue classes. Its not expensive but not cheap either. But seeing how much it helps the child... totally worth it. Teachers are very hands on. Would totally recommend... expecially for child with anger issues.
