Meet Your Instructors

”My name is Arthur Tarani, and I am the creator of the Tarani Training self defense system. Since I was a child in my early teens, I have been studying various styles of martial arts, including Boxing, Muay Thai, Taekwondo, Jeet Kune Do, and various other art styles. After studying under numerous masters and professors, receiving several black belt certificates across the martial arts I have studied, and competing at a professional level from mixed martial artists from around the world, I have built my system (the Tarani Training System) to give students the ability to potentially save their life from dangerous encounters in all situations that occur in real life.

My program encompasses all skill levels and even offers beginners with no experience in combative mixed martial arts or self defense instructional classes to get people comfortable with the concept of defending themselves. This system has grown and evolved over the past 20 years to provide students with simple to remember, no-nonsense street tactics that can save your life. The program encompasses a combination of different mixed martial arts styles that is broken down and fine-tuned to give direct and easy to remember techniques that actually work while at the same time will condition your body and improve your health.”

”My name is Chris and I am a junior instructor for the Tarani Training system. I have had the pleasure of training and learning under Master Tarani for roughly 3 years. I have always had a passion for martial arts and practiced Karate when I was younger. When I came across the self defense system taught by Master Tarani, I was amazed by how simple yet effective each movement was. Throughout his years of studying and professional fighting career, he has taken the best techniques and movements from a variety of styles and molded them into an extremely effective and practical self defense system.”
