Our Trainers and Advisors

When it comes to training in the Arts, we are fortunate to have an active in-house staff as listed above to serve the needs of the community.  With years of experience at the forefront of our classes, we guarantee that you will find a class that will benefit your health, cardiovascular heel-being, and self-defense and awareness skills like no other in the area. WE ARE CONFIDENT WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

As part of our ongoing commitment to the industry in which we serve, we continue to stay on top of new training materials developed by others in the industry to add value to our students. I do not have all the answers even with my tenure as a martial artist.  What I do recognize is that there are others that do, and we surely are open-minded enough to take a deep dive when it is the right decision for my students, and myself as a business owner. We all know the benefits of adding a cardiovascular intensive workout, and we are honored to have the great Erik Paulson's program behind our MMA elective classes when presented.

Our Classes

We Got You Covered!

Enjoy the cardiovascular toning, flexibility, stamina/endurance and train with others for the pure conditioning.
