Coastal Martial Arts & Fitness is helping women in Fort Walton Beach feel stronger, healthier and more confident through high-energy Fitness Kickboxing and practical self-defense training.
Founded by Shihan Dave Durman and Renshi Sally Durman, the school offers a welcoming, no-pressure environment where beginners can start at their own pace. The adult Fitness Kickboxing program is quickly becoming a favorite for women looking to lose weight, build strength and relieve stress — without needing any prior experience.
Classes combine boxing-style training, pad work and conditioning in a motivating group setting designed to challenge participants while still being fun and supportive.
For families, Coastal Martial Arts & Fitness also offers Kempo Karate for children as young as 5, helping them develop confidence, focus and discipline. Many parents choose to train alongside their children, while others enjoy having their own time on the mats.
“We see so many women walk in unsure of themselves, and within weeks they’re stronger, more confident and loving the training,” says Sally Durman.
With a strong focus on community and personal growth, Coastal Martial Arts & Fitness is welcoming new members and currently offering limited Founding Member rates.
