Brazilian Jiujitsu
We teach the popular martial art known as Brazilian Jiujitsu. Our main instructor is a 2nd degree black belt. Brazilian Jiujitsu is a great martial art for self defense and working out while having a good time. The constant challenge of the sport will keep the workout entertaining and fresh forever. The basics of the grappling sport are quick to learn but can keep you entertained mastering them forever.
It’s effectiveness comes from it’s competitive nature, by being able to practice your techniques safely in sparring against fellow team members and in competition against unknown opponents, you can be confident they work against a resisting opponent!
Kickboxing / Muay Thai
We teach the martial art known as Muay Thai or kickboxing – there are many names and we welcome techniques from all styles. We train the techniques and spar to make ourselves the best we can be. Kickboxing is great because like Jiujitsu, the basics are easy to grasp but it mastering them takes a lifetime!
Again, using reasonable equipment we spar, making sure our techniques work against resisting opponents so that when the time comes, we can be confident we are ready for whatever it is.
We now also offer separate classes for youth 9-14 years of age.

Using games, sparring, and practical techniques, they’ll develop real fighting skills that prepare them for real-life situations while also building discipline and a strong work ethic.
