About
FX Self Defense
FX Self Defense helps individuals of all ages achieve their goals in training and life. We cultivate a positive environment that nurtures learning and growth.
Start Your JourneyOur History
Owner Rocky Frizzell started training Judo at age 16 and now has over 26 years of training experience in many systems of defensive tactics and self defense.
Rocky opened the school in 2018 offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Israeli Krav Maga after the local community made many requests for a gym. What started as a small group of martial artists transitioned into a larger self defense gym over time.
Today, our team strives to provide top-quality realistic training to help people meet the variety of goals they have. We succeed when our students succeed!
