Elite Defensive Tactics

"Elite Defensive Tactics is a martial arts school that specializes in San Yama Bushi Ju Jitsu, Kenpo Karate, Kyusho Jitsu, Ground Grappling and Police Tactics Jitsu. Owner and Head Instructor Gary Gione is a retired NYPD Lieutenant who has been teaching and studying martial arts for over 29 years. He has been inducted into the Action Magazine Martial Arts Hall of Fame and the Hawaiian Martial Arts Hall of Fame. In the few short years Elite Defensive Tactics has been successfully running, it has accumulated over 100 students, ranging from age 4 to 75.

At Elite Defensive Tactics, we strive to develop and continually improve our students in three basic areas: Self-Defense Skills, Personal Development, and Life Philosophy.

Our students are taught to evaluate situations, avoid potential problems and eliminate unavoidable problems. Students become physically able to defend themselves when necessary, which greatly contributes to a much heightened level of self worth. One can easily see this in our students as they become more proficient in their self-defense skills, and eventually come to realize that the smartest decision is to avoid physical conflict at all costs, if possible. Again, teamwork is encouraged over competition amongst each other.
