Lisa also teaches the locally renowned Senshi Short Circuit, and Lisa's Army (an all women's class) classes which combines NASM physical fitness standards with basic levels of Senshi Martial Arts self-defense. It is fitness with a twist.

Assistant Instructor, Doug Miller
​
Doug has years of experience teaching martial arts in another system. Doug’s old school approach makes all the classes he teaches fun and challenging. Although Doug has earned, received and has been awarded a black belt in another system he continues his growth and training in all the Senshi Martial Arts systems and methods.
​
Sadly, Doug Miller unexpectedly passed a few years back. He will always be a part of this dojo and will never be removed from this page. Doug is greatly missed. Love you Doug. Rest in peace.
