All Classes are Currently Filled

We currently have 7 openings.

To be eligible for the next opening(s) please contact Dr. Joel Bowling at 815-332-4001. If you get his voice mail, please leave your name and number and he will contact you.

Being the only combat Martial Art School in the Rockford area, Dr. Bowling teaches every class himself. This is done to maintain top quality students and full contact competitors and for this reason we only accept 100 students.

Don't be fooled by watered down classes that are no more than aerobics courses. Judge for yourself. Train with A.F.T.A. Martial Arts FREE for one week, then try the others and you will see why A.F.T.A. Martial Arts has many of THEIR Black Belts in our classes now!

Our Goal Is To Teach You The Following:

Breaking, Children's Self Defense, Free Sparring, Goal Setting, Ground Fighting, Gun Defense, Hand to Hand, Hand to Weapon, (Holds, locks, and throws), Kickboxing, Knife Defense, Multiple Attack Defense, Pressure Points, Proper Attitude, Proper Kicking Technique, Reality Martial Arts, Special Techniques, Stress Management, Weapons, and Women's Self Defense.

All of the above is reality based,
for true self defense....not for sport!
