Force Defense And Fitness

Force Defense And Fitness provides reality-based self-defense education and functional fitness training at 624 Main Street in Holden, Massachusetts. Owned and directed by head instructor Ms. Tonya, the academy serves adults, teens, and fitness enthusiasts throughout Holden, Worcester, and surrounding Central Massachusetts communities. The curriculum is centered on practical Krav Maga training, offering both basic and advanced class levels. Students learn instinctive combatives, defensive footwork, situational awareness, and tactics to defend against common real-world physical assaults, grabs, and weapon threats. Complementing the defensive curriculum, the school features high-intensity Fitness Kickboxing classes that combine heavy-bag striking combinations with total-body conditioning to build stamina and strength. Instruction is led by Ms. Tonya, who brings over fifteen years of self-defense experience, alongside certified instructor Sue, a third-degree black belt in Kenpo Karate and Krav Maga. Classes prioritize student safety, proper striking mechanics, and supportive motivation. Residents of Holden and Central Massachusetts can visit the Main Street facility to observe classes, consult with the instructors, and enroll in training programs.
