Upcoming Events and News

Drop In Classes coming to Tuesday nights!

A "drop in class" is a class where a student may simply drop in for some extra training.

Drop in classes are not mandatory and not curriculum driven. Instead, these classes will have themes that vary each week and focus on different areas of our martial arts training. Lessons will focus on concepts, strategies, drills, helpful-hints, and more. Students may pick and choose classes with themes that interest them. Students may choose a theme in an area where they may need some extra help, or they may choose a theme in which they would like to accelerate their training.

One of the best aspects of this program is that there is NO rank, age or training style requirement (except for weapons). The classes will be designed to suit any student who is interested in accentuating and accelerating his/her training.

The fee for this class is very affordable at $5 per class. We will also be offering a special for students who frequently attend the drop in classes. After training in 5 classes, the 6th class will be free!

Self Defense is the action of "Going Home!" When we all leave our homes in the morning, we do so with the intention of returning that evening after a full day of work. ...

Pilates and Defensive Kickboxing classes coming to Thursday Nights!

The Pilates and Cardio Kickboxing classes have been very popular, so we are bringing them to Thursday nights. As an added bonus, the evening classes are open to men as well.

Classes start Jan 8, 2009

Pilates is a toning and sculpting workout which over time will guarantee tightening of core muscle groups. Pilates is one way to one way to restore and maintain firmness without a high cardio workout. The class will include free weights, tension band work (you may provide your own), with floor and stand up work.

Defensive Kickboxing is for the person who is not afraid to sweat, and really get hands on with a workout. This class is about fitness with a self defense edge. We will incorporate kicks, punches, and intense body movement, then explore how to apply them defensively.

Don't forget that our women-only classes still run Wednesday and Friday mornings
