Mixed Martial Arts
Mixed Martial Arts fighting combines the best of all fighting philosophies in order to develop what works best. MMA takes the successful & effective techniques from different martial arts all over the world: Muay Thai/Kickboxing, Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, etc., & combines them to develop a style of fighting or self-defense that effectively suits you.
A common misconception is that you will be showing up at the gym to get beat up every day. You're going to be partnered with people of your level, so you can learn and grow. You can go at whatever pace is comfortable for you.
You do not have to be competitive. Classes include a great mixture of people: those who are training just to get a good workout and those who want to fight in competitions.
EGOS ARE NOT WELCOME! We provide a fun, supportive, encouraging environment that is clean and safe.
Overall, MMA is a fun way for people to get in great shape, learn how to defend themselves, and form a bond with friends. Training is a good way to not only become a better athlete, but a better person. Our team is fully invested in helping you reach your goals & making your dreams a reality.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) is about efficiency. The premise of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is that a smaller, weaker person can defeat a stronger and larger opponent. It’s about learning how to use your body in the best possible way through leverage and proper technique. BJJ emphasizes ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint locks and choke holds.
Once the opponent is on the ground, a number of maneuvers (and counter-maneuvers) are used to manipulate the opponent into suitable position for the application of a submission hold. We apply heavy emphasis on positional strategy, live rolling, and drills to help with your submissions and techniques.
Student goals include increased physical conditioning, competition goals and promotion through our belt ranking system.
No matter what your skill level is, you’ll get just what you need from these classes. Everyone is supportive and dedicated to keeping the team atmosphere alive. We guarantee you’ll fit right in and have a blast!
Muay-Thai
Muay-Thai makes use of four of the body’s weapons: legs, knees, elbows and fists. Muay Thai kickboxing is a fighting art that originated in Thailand & has been practiced & perfected over the last 2000 years. Muay Thai is the perfect stand up striking class that provides the student with the tools they need for the ring, even though most students will never fight. Techniques taught are learned quickly and are easily integrated into daily life. Classes will involve the use of shadowboxing, footwork skills, pad work, heavy bag training, and various partner coordination drills.
This system provides stress relief, strength, cardiovascular fitness, self-defense and it is extremely fun. Prepare to sweat and burn some serious calories, while learning the most complete and powerful striking self-defense system using every part of your body as a weapon.
Great for beginners to advanced students.

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two (occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and maintain a superior position. There are a wide range of styles with varying rules with both traditional historic and modern styles. Wrestling techniques have been incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat systems.
