Our History in the Wausau Area

known as Rib Mountain in Wausau, Wisconsin

Rib Mountain Martial Arts is based in the North Central Wisconsin city of Wausau which spans zip codes 54401 and 54403, just a few minutes north of Rib Mountain.

What do we focus on in our training together at Rib Mountain Martial Arts?

• Essential self-protection skills from a program based on intelligent, scientific responses to high-probability attacks (the curriculum is rooted in classical Japanese martial arts though the training is progressive, modern, focused on safety, and fun)

• Increased awareness and avoidance of high risk situations

• Using martial arts strategies to engage and win the non-physical “battles” we face in the everyday world of work, home, and school. We don't give you the "answers" as to how you should live your life, but we provide you with tools of strategy and tactics so that you can more fully realize the life you imagine leading.

What we offer is intelligent and effective self-protection and personal life-enhancement through progressive martial arts training. We study modern living strategies based on cross-cultural principles of warriorship. Our training is serious, but our classes are both friendly and fun.

While we have had training in the Wausau area since 1992, our practice has, to this point in time, been relatively low-key with little to no advertisement. You will not find a Yellow Pages ad for our school, and the only way to find the training has been through an internet search or word of mouth.

There are no high-pressure sales tactics; we're interested only in providing quality martial arts instruction to people who are a good fit for our program.
