Programs
The classes, camps and experiences this business offers.
Children's Program
Confidence, Discipline, and Self-Defense are only some of the valuable skills that children will learn in our program. Along with valuable self-defense skills, your chidlren will develop the types of skills and character building that will carry over into all aspects of their lives and help them especially in school! Focus, Respect for Self and for Others, Self-Control, and Perseverance are emphasized and cultivated in every class - teaching martial arts without these values is missing the essence of true martial arts and the warrior spirit. And of course, kids will have a ton of fun! Classes are warm and inviting which let children develop lasting friendships on and off the mat.
Muay Thai / Thai Boxing
Muay Thai, also called Thai Boxing, is the national martial art and sport of Thailand. Many people think of Thai Boxing as only a kickboxing ring sport, but it is much more. Besides proving itself as the toughest ring sport through its use of kicks, punches, elbows, knees and standing grappling, Thai boxing is excellent for street self-defense.
Jeet Kune Do / Jun Fan Gung Fu
Jeet Kune Do/Jun Fan Gung Fu is the training methods and techniques originally developed by Bruce Lee. Jeet Kune Do incorporates four ranges of defense: kicking, punching, trapping hands, and joint locking/grappling. Use of four ranges is unique - most styles practice only one or two ranges.
