Who Is A.C.T. Defense
A.C.T. Defense is the Birmingham area’s premier training community for responsible, good hearted people. It’s a place where you can learn how to defend yourself efficiently, connect with highly skilled martial artists, and get the techniques and tactics you need to survive extreme violence. Over the years with hundreds of students in the city and state, we’ve become one of Alabama’s most trusted voices providing the best martial arts and self defense training available.
What We Do
A.C.T. Defense gives you Assessment, Communication, and Tactical skills and training for self defense…ensuring your personal safety and freedom!
Why We Do It
We believe that freedom is the natural state of human beings. But it takes physical and spiritual strength and responsibility to achieve and maintain that freedom.
We believe that martial arts are a path to that strength and responsibility.
We believe that to be free also requires sincerity and a thirst for truth.
We believe that once truly free, people naturally wish for others to be free. We accomplish this through selfless service to our fellow man. And this creates natural justice in the world.
Thus, martial arts are a path to peace.
