Welcome to the on-line home of the Zimmerman Academy. The academy is dedicated to self defense and blends grappling and cane self-defense with Taekwondo to create a more holistic self-defense curriculum. We call this system Zimmerman Self-Defense.
The Zimmerman Academy was established by Ken Zimmerman Jr. and Kenneth Zimmerman III on September 19, 2011. Based on the Ken’s experience with multiple martial arts including police self-defense systems, the system has evolved over the past three years. Using their school as a testing ground, we are intent on creating a holistic system of self-defense. The goal of self-defense is to survive and escape if possible. It is not winning. If you survive and do not take damage, you won.
The Zimmerman Self-Defense System contains a holistic curriculum to prepare the student to have the best chance of survival in a self-defense situation. The curriculum for each is in development and should be completed by the end of 2014.
As a developing system, it will continue to evolve over the next several years. Caleb Zimmerman has joined his father and brother in helping to run the academy. In addition to “Trey” and Caleb, Ken has also trained or worked out with 14 nieces and nephews.
