Griswold Self Defense

Founded in Lexington, Kentucky in 1988, Griswold Self Defense teaches self defense because evil never takes a vacation. We believe the best training is found in a comprehensive, complete system that offers instruction in all aspects of true self defense. We offer instruction in Kiyojute Ryu Kempo for those who want more vigorous, but safe training, Tsung Shih Tai Chi Chuan for those who want a gentler approach, and God's Fist for those desiring a basic short course in personal self defense. Many local students study both Kempo and Tai Chi Chuan because they are complementary arts. Serious training develops real self-defense capabilities and compassion. Goals of training include physical fitness, mastery of movement, mental awareness, and spiritual peace of mind.
