Jeet Kune Do Concepts - JKD

JKD is the philosophy & concepts developed by the legendary Bruce Lee and continued to be evolved after his death by Lee's top student, Sifu Dan Inosanto.  Watch yourself gain confidence and live a healthier lifestyle, while we teach you stand-up martial arts concepts from around the world. You’ll learn punches, kicks, elbows, knees, hand-trapping, clinching, and easy safe takedowns.  Perfect for both Men & Women!

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - BJJ

There is no denying that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most effective forms of self defense on the ground, and is one of the most popular martial arts in the world today. You’ll gain confidence and discipline as you learn to effortlessly hold down an opponent, escape from a position, get back up to your feet, or submit them with joint locks and chokes.  Our School's lineage goes directly back to the Gracie's, the founding family that pioneered Jiu-Jitsu in Brazil and throughout the world.

Rising Warriors / Ages 12-17

Our Rising Warriors program is designed to help your teen develop the focus and discipline they'll soon need to function in the real world.  This program will help give them the physical skills they'll need on the mats, and the mental skills they'll need off of it.

Little Ninjas / Ages 6-11

Kids aren’t adults … but eventually one day they will be.  We focus our kids classes toward giving them the life skills they need to grow into fully functioning successful adults. In martial arts, and their everyday lives.  We use the martial arts as a fun way to teach them things like listening & communication skills, common courtesy, manners,  goal setting, respecting authority figures, respecting themselves and much more.
