Our School is affiliated with the International Christian Karate Association. 

Our History

We exist as part of the International Christian Karate Association, Founded by Dr. Christian Harfouche. 10th dan and Grandmaster Dr. Christian Harfouche is the creator of Shorite Ryu Tai Jutsu, the full-body boxing system.

Translated as “victorious hands body arts,” Shorite Ryu-TaiJutsu is recognized by David German as an official sub-style of Tai. This is a comprehensive system of traditional martial arts that successfully incorporates striking, throwing, choking, and submission techniques, with effective methods of grappling, into a complete system recognized worldwide as the “style of styles.”   

Our Chief instructor for Pit Bull Fighting System is Richard Bryant. He has over 50 years of fighting arts experience, ranging from Shotokan and Kenpo Karate to Israeli fighting arts including Krav Maga and Haganah, as well as Chin-na, and others. More than an amazing fighting arts practitioner, he is an amazing man of God who loves to talk about the Bible and his love of his Heavenly Father.

Our Vision

We envision a community where Christians and individuals of all backgrounds are empowered with the skills and confidence to protect themselves and their loved ones, both physically and spiritually. Through our Karate and Krav Maga training programs, led by dedicated volunteers, we aspire to nurture a generation of strong, compassionate warriors who not only excel in self-defense but also exemplify the values of faith, integrity, and service. Our vision is to foster a safer and more resilient society where individuals walk in faith, stand in strength, and extend a hand of protection and love to those in need.

Our Mission

We equip individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to defend themselves and others through the disciplines of Karate and Krav Maga. Rooted in Christian values, we are committed to providing high-quality, accessible training led by passionate volunteers. We strive to foster an environment where faith and physical strength converge, empowering our community to embrace personal safety, build self-confidence, and exemplify love, compassion, and service to others. Together, we prepare warriors for life’s challenges, armed with faith, discipline, and the ability to protect those in need.

About Brandon

From as far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a Black Belt in karate. As a little kid, I had the pajamas and everything. I would run around punching and kicking and flipping around just like little kids do. As I grew, I still had the desire, but not the ability to join a class because I played soccer and my dad didn’t want me to get hurt practicing karate and not be able to play soccer. At 13, I broke both bones in my left arm playing soccer and had plates and screws inserted for one year. Go figure! I’m left-handed to boot! Finally, when I graduated high school I took a karate class at the community college. The instructor also taught at the local gym and I participated there when I could.  I was hooked! I loved it! I hadn’t been going long and made it to the Blue Belt before my family and I moved to another city.   I never found another school locally and didn’t have the money to join, so I just focused on other areas of my life. I got married, we had two sons, and I worked. That was life, and life has been great, but I never forgot my love for the fighting arts. I know God sees the deepest and sometimes quietest parts of our hearts. Though I didn’t talk too much about it, I always had an interest and desire to train in fighting arts. I remember a friend telling me about this guy who is a 6th-degree black belt who attends the church and really knows his stuff and was really cool. I never met him as I attended a different campus. Later, I found out he was going to teach Krav Maga at the church…for free!! I started with the first group and haven’t looked back. Now being a part of this “Hybrid“ system of fighting, I’ve achieved my black belt! Never would I have thought this would happen to me this late in my life, and at my church… for free! God is so good! I’ve learned it’s not about the belt. It’s about learning about yourself and doing your best to grow every day and helping others do the same. I’ve made plenty of mistakes and I’m far from perfect. But with the help of my God, my family, and this family of warriors, I will continue to see victory and give God all the praise!

About Brandon

I've spent my entire life in the high desert, proudly calling it my hometown. Living here, I've been fortunate to witness God's wonders firsthand. I've forged lifelong memories, made meaningful friendships, came to Christ, honed my musical talents, and grown as an individual.
As the years passed, I frequently sought comfort in the outdoors, marveling at the beauty of creation. In my twenties, I explored various outdoor pursuits like hiking, biking, camping, beach trips, and exploring new destinations. Leading me to become an avid outdoor enthusiast and adventure seeker. This passion pushed me to greater heights, no pun intended, opening my eyes to the endless possibilities that God presents to us in his creation. Which has led me to where I am today. As I got older, I found a deeper understanding of the gifts God had given me, urging me to pursue a career in teaching. In 2019, I proudly graduated from Grand Canyon University and embarked on my journey as a history teacher. A role that has brought both immense gratification and its fair share of challenges. It's been a remarkable journey, and I'm eager to witness what God has in store for me next! With that being said, becoming a teacher during COVID, led me to a Christian private school, where one day, an announcement was made about offering free self-defense classes. This intrigued my interest, as I was already training at another MMA gym but was costing me an arm and a leg. Without hesitation, I enrolled in the class. That decision introduced me to Master Bryant, whose teachings on self-defense and the Christian faith have been very valuable. He has taught me so many great lessons about self-defense and the Christian walk. As time progressed, I have grown to enjoy and adapt this hybrid system in my daily life.
This class has been a tremendous blessing for me and has blessed me with achieving black belt status, in Kenpo Karate, which I never thought in my life I would be able to accomplish. But because of Richard's dedication, God's friendship, and my fellow peers in this class, I was able to achieve this honor. I cannot wait to see what God and Richard have in store for us in the future!!!
