What California Defense Academy is All About

Here at California Defense Academy, we are about more than just teaching self defense.

Our goal is to help each individual to reach their absolute highest potential.

This is why we have a strong character development program interwoven within our self defense curriculum.

We start each class and end each class, with a student creed to put us into a positive mindset.

Each month we have a different theme of the month that we focus on including traits such as: perseverance, gratitude, honesty, kindness, focus, leadership, etc...

We have an academic achievement program that helps us to build confidence within our kids. We use a belt system to teach about goal setting and overcoming obstacles.

We have a student of the month program that recognizes outstanding character. And so much more…

I believe that California Defense Academy has some of the top talent in the self defense world. Ericka is a world class instructor who is sharp, aggressive, articulate, and highly educated in the field of self defense.

CDA is great for the experienced and inexperienced alike. They craft each instruction to match the skill level of their students and it's probably the most fun you can have burning calories and building muscle.

My problem with many martial arts is that they simply are not practical on the streets. CDA is highly practical. They give real world scenarios that you COULD find yourself in. This training is made to keep you and your family safe.

Ms Erika is a quality instructor, life coach, and a true inspiration in life, family, and friendship. My husband, our two daughters and me, all trained with Ms. Erika for many years. Love her drive, her honesty, her character; she was, and still is, an excellent role model for our daughters growing up. She has helped shaped the young women they have developed into. I thank her for coming into our lives; it has been a blessing in so many ways.

I enrolled my son in classes at California Defense Academy and I can not speak highly enough of this school. They offer a welcoming environment and knowledgeable instructors with a combination of martial arts backgrounds. They use real life situations and circumstances to teach practical self-defense while also actively working on character building. Ms Ericka and all the staff are engaging and make every student feel involved and my son is excited for every class!
