About us: Chamberlain Studios of Self Defense™

Chamberlain Studios of Self-Defense™ is an organization dedicated to providing the very best in martial-arts instruction, featuring modern techniques combined with traditional training methods.  The organization was started by Dr. Nick Chamberlain in Boston, Massachusetts in 1981.  In 1993 the school re-located to Dallas, TX and then settled into our current headquarters facility (hombu dojo) in 2003.

Our headquarters school is located at 2739 Bachman Drive, in Dallas, Texas, at the Southeast corner of Northwest Highway and Webb Chapel Extension; you can find a map here.

Since 1981 we have been providing the best that martial arts has to offer.  We opened our current location in the former facilities of the Tamura Judo Institute in January of 2003.  Many thanks to all the friends, family and students that donated their time, tools, expertise and money to the renovation project.  Our programs have grown from the original classes in Kenpo Karate, to include Aikido, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu and Aiki Ju-Jutsu, all with expert instructors in their own areas. 

The school brings together people from all walks of life with the common goals of friendship, martial arts, and hard work! 
We look forward to you joining us on the mat!

We are proud to offer a world class, state-of-the-art training facility, with superb instructors in a variety of styles.
