About

Welcome to Dixon Self Defense Academy at The Fitness Center of Havre De Grace. Our mission is to educate, empower, and equip families through S.A.F.E Training (Self defense Awareness for Families in every Environment). Here at the Fitness Center of Havre De Grace we are a diverse community with a variety of classes that encourage leading a healthier lifestyle. We are not your typical gym, we are a community of people who care about you, your family and your overall well being. Whether its a yoga class, strength training, building confidence or connecting with a group to talk about life, all of the above is made available for YOU!! You will find encouragement, positive vibes, and transformation in any class you participate in because it is about having a better quality of life. You also owe it to yourself to have the ability to protect that quality of life because dangers do exist in the world and we want you to be prepared just in case. As the saying goes “It’s better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it”. But dangers come in many forms and sometimes it's not always involving an attacker threatening our lives, it can exist at our jobs, schools, supermarkets, and even our own homes. Most of us are too busy to pay attention, identify the warning signs, and address these situations until it's too late.

But can we agree that before we can improve our communities, economies, and families we must first improve ourselves?! It starts with being the best version of yourself that you can be each day to serve others. We cannot give what we don't have, we cannot lead where we aren't willing to go, and we cannot teach what we do not know. Our self defense class can provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to stay safe and secure, while also helping you to contribute to a healthier and safer community. 

Additionally, our classes will help you to develop physical, mental and emotional strength, so that you can stay safe and secure and build strong relationships with those around you. We focus on developing a sense of teamwork and community involvement, so that you can learn self defense skills in an ethical and moral way. We also strive to promote charity and involvement in the community, so that you can make a positive contribution to those around you. Our self defense class is the perfect way to promote safety and security while also helping you to grow as an individual. So join us today and be part of a safer, more harmonious and more secure community!
