WHOLE ARMOR MARTIAL ARTS

Located in Vancouver, WA we are an exciting Christian alternative, offering the amazing physical and character building benefits of martial arts instruction in a safe, dynamic learning environment based on the Truths from God’s Word in the Bible.

We teach Shiho Karano Karate, an effective and traditional martial arts style, and our goal is to help our students become Christian Black Belts who will be outstanding members and leaders in their families, their local church, and the community.

Whole Armor Martial Arts is a certified school through the Christian Black Belt Association and Shiho Karano Ryu. Our Founder and Senior Instructor is Ron Hagelganz, a 5th Degree Black Belt and certified Master Instructor with the C.B.B.A., and S.K.R.
