About Living Defense Martial Arts
Living Defense Martial Arts was founded by Master Danny Dring in Sherwood, Arkansas. It was Master Dring’s foresight into the evolution of martial arts that led him to cross train in arts such as boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilin Jiu-jitsu before cross training became the norm it is today. This forward thinking combined with a true passion for helping people achieve their goals in all aspects of the martial arts in a fun, safe and family friendly environment has allowed LDMA to enjoy continued success in the same location for close to 40 years.
With high level instruction in Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, MMA, and Weeping Style Jujutsu we are dedicated to meeting all of your individual needs. You’ll find a wide variety of physical fitness tools in our gym such as heavy bags, thai pads, kettle bells, weight lifting equipment, etc.
All of these training options allow you to continue to challenge yourself with every class while at the same time keeping it fun and varied so that you don’t get burned out due to the same grind.

Amazing selfless instructors. I took my daughter here for 1 year. Sadly she decided to move on to other things but there is still a soft spot in all out hearts for this wonderful school. Master Dring is phenomenal and Coach Tony is awesome with young people. We will forever promote this establishment. Sign up or your child today! It’s very affordable!
The staff at LDMA is very knowledgeable and helpful. This is a great place to get in shape and learn about the martial arts. My wife and I stared about a year ago with BJJ and fell in love with it. I now participate in all the classes offered and I can honestly say everything they offer is top notch. The best thing is the people you will meet. The staff and students genuinely care about everyone who walks through that door and wants to do everything in their power to help you reach your goals. I have lost over 30 pounds since going there but I have also found lifelong friends! I highly recommend it!
