Bryan Klein (From the Manalapan Academy's Web Page)

Growing up I was a shy, introverted kid who was always picked last to be on the team. Over the years, I have benefited from martial arts in ways that were truly unimaginable to both me and my parents. It has become my life's passion to give back and to help others develop the confidence, discipline, and leadership skills that have helped me throughout life.

Now that I am a parent of three young children I feel fortunate that my kids will grow up in a time and place where the threat of a physical attack is very small. So I began to think that preparing our children for true self-defense needs to extend far beyond the skills necessary to fend off a would be attacker and needs to address some of the scariest problems parents and kids face today.

Many martial arts programs only teach children to defend themselves against a physical attack. We used to be one of those schools. However, children today are faced with many threats stretching far beyond those of just a physical nature.
