Martial Arts and Fitness Programs for KIDS and ADULTS
Children Programs
Getting Started is Easy with our Quick Start Programs
Here is a view of one of our training floors. As you can see it's spacious with plenty of space to learn martial arts and workout. Classes include kids martial arts, Muay Thai, Kickboxing "express", Brazilian Jiu Jitsu as well as Taekwondo and Hapkido.
The training floor for martial arts is fully matted with 1.5" Dollamur mats, a top of the line surface to ensure your safety and the best training experience. You'll also see several hanging "Thai Bags" and standing "wave bags". These bags are used in our Thai Boxing Classes, No-Contact Kickboxing Express Classes, and Taekwondo Classes. You'll also see students grappling on these mats. Thats our BJJ class!
Can you picture yourself here? You'll feel right at home!
Next, you'll see our strength and conditioning floor. The floor is matted with what's known as "plyo-robic" rubber. It's firm, but more elastic than a typical rubber gym floor. That means it feels totally firm for great training, but it actually is much less impact on the muscles and joints. So, you can work out harder and get more results. You can't see the ~50 Kettlebells that are off to the side
You'll see members doing bootcamp style classes, power lifting, kettlebells and more. Big life changes happen here. We hope you'll join the club!
