About

Wyndham Academy of Self Defense, (formerly the Aikido Academy of Self-Defense) has been in continuous operation since 1980.

Our school is located at 4249 North Blackstock Road in Spartanburg, SC just off I-85 Business.  For a map to our school, click on the Contact us page.

We offer classes for children, youth, and adults of all ages.  Our curriculum includes practical self-defense techniques designed to be extremely effective in all situations.  In addition to learning self defense techniques, students benefit from greater self-confidence,  a strong sense of duty, honor, self-respect, and healthy respect for themselves and others.

Safety and professional instruction are our hallmarks.  Each of our instructors are individually certified; with most having more than five years of practical teaching experience.  Instructors strive to maintain an environment that is exciting, fun, and safe for all students.

*Wyndham Academy of Self-defense teaches Nihon Goshin Aikido. Our art is devoted to martial arts techniques for self-defense, derived from the best techniques from Aikido, Jujitsu, Judo and Karate.*
