Jiu Jitsu

Jiu-Jitsu emphasizes ground fighting techniques and submission holds involving joint locks and choke holds. The premise is that most of the advantage of a larger, stronger opponent comes from superior reach and more powerful strikes, both of which are largely negated if wrestling on the ground; and if either fighter wants the fight to go to the ground, it will.

Kick Boxing

Muay Thai utilizes the 8-point striking system (punches, kicks, knees, elbows) and the ‘full’ clinch. The clinch in kickboxing is a means of tying up the opponent for a positional reset. Our beginner class teaches you the basics of each of the points. The class is focused on technique and is taught both with and without a partner. During the beginner class you will also learn to hold pads for others. The class usually ends with 20-30 minutes of heart elevating cardio.
