Our History:

Owner Raven Cain has trained martial arts since 1978 and taught from Virginia to Utah during the 1980s. When he was promoted to black belt at 18 years old, his Sensei had him teach classes. While he taught he learned how to be a better educator and more about his passion for teaching. With his Sensei’s blessing he branched out and taught out of his home. He opened Raven Self Defense Academy in Hurricane, Utah in 2017 to forge his own path.

Opening a martial arts academy was aligned with Raven’s upbringing as an expressive and creative person.

Martial arts serve as a way to express yourself through your body to be authentic in a zen space. As he carries out his dream, Raven strives to help as many people as he can. He aims to eliminate negativity through martial arts so the community can be safe and reach their full potential, one student at a time.
