Defense-Wise Martial Arts Fitness Center, a bright and spacious studio, at 16 Ferry Street in South Grafton, MA is more than just a karate school. Owner and Chief Instructor, Debra Ripsz, a certified 6th Degree Master Black Belt who has studied for 30 years and has taught the Kenpo style for over 21 years. After working full time in the High Tech Industry for 30 years, she finally decided to pursue her passion of the Martial Arts, "I finally feel that I am right where I belong because there is so much more satisfaction knowing I am making a difference in the lives of each and every person that walks through the door."
Defense-Wise Martial Arts Fitness Center opened its doors in January of 2009 primarily focused as a Karate school teaching the Kenpo style of Karate to all ages. It has quickly grown from those humble beginnings into a full service Martial Arts/Fitness Center offering a variety of classes including Karate, Kickboxing, Tai Chi, Yoga, NIA and many specialized Self Defense classes and/or seminars. In the best of economic times, starting up a new business is tough but in the worst economy ever Defense-Wise has been able to build their student base and is continuing to grow.
Her staff is a team of mature and dedicated part time Instructors with many years of experience that bring a feel-good positive energy level to each and every one of the classes offered. Students range from children of age 4+ and adults of all ages. They also work with the community to provide educational opportunities. The philosophy and mission statement of this school is "Where Every Student Matters."
