Looking for Self Defense Classes in Manistee? Here’s a Better Option.

When people in Manistee search for “self defense near me,” they’re usually looking for one thing: the confidence to stay safe and protect themselves or their loved ones.

While Manistee Combat Academy doesn’t offer traditional self-defense classes or seminars, our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Boxing programs are designed to develop real-world defensive skills in a safe, supportive setting.

Boxing teaches situational awareness, movement, distance management, and confidence under pressure — all key aspects of personal safety.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu teaches control and leverage, no matter your size. It’s one of the most effective martial arts in the world for dealing with real-life altercations — especially on the ground.

Our students come from Manistee, Kaleva, Bear Lake, Onekama, and all over Northern Michigan. Whether you’re brand new or returning to training, our team of coaches will help you build real skill at your own pace.
