Striking: The Sweet Science & Art of Eight Limbs
We teach the complete stand-up game, blending the precision of Boxing with the power of Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Our classes cover everything from fundamental footwork and defensive head movement to complex punching combinations and devastating kicks, knees, and elbows. You will learn practical skills through heavy bag work, focused pad drills, and controlled sparring sessions.
Ground Game: Wrestling & Jiu-Jitsu
We believe fights are often won on the ground. Our grappling program integrates the explosive takedowns of Wrestling with the technical submissions and control of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We focus heavily on No-Gi grappling, teaching you how to control an opponent, advance your position, and secure a submission using leverage and technique, not just strength.
Warrior Conditioning & Strength
A fighter's greatest weapon is their engine. Our conditioning program is designed to build the relentless cardio, explosive power, and functional strength you need for combat. We use a mix of high-intensity interval training, bodyweight circuits, kettlebells, tire flips, and mobility work to make you a durable and powerful athlete.
Start Your Journey: Beginners & Youth
Everyone starts somewhere, and this is the perfect place. Our beginner and youth programs are designed to build a strong foundation in a safe, supportive, and motivating environment. We teach fundamental skills in MMA, boxing, and self-defense, focusing on discipline, confidence, and having fun while you learn.
