Shorei-Ryu Karate

Students in this class will learn self-defense that works well for most ages. Traditional Okinawan weapon training is an option, based on each student's preference. By building a solid foundation of kicks, blocks, punches and stretching, each student will get into shape and learn valuable self-defense skills.
Ages 4 and up.

Muay Thai Kickboxing 
Muay Thai Kickboxing is great for either the beginning or advanced student. Thai boxing is ideal for getting into shape, developing self-defense skills or for the person who would like to compete in the kickboxing ring. Muay Thai is known for its devastating knees, elbows and combinations. Students will train with specifically designed pads that will help sharpen their skills at full power.
Ages 10 and up.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is one of the most respected and effective grappling arts in the world. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is not based on strength; it uses the opponent's strength and force. The key is leverage and balance, as well as using proper technique to escape, hold and/or submit to your opponent. Since most fights end up on the ground, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu concentrates on grappling from positions including the "Guard", the "Mount" and the "Side Mount" from which a variety of chokes, joint locks, pins and escapes are practiced in the most effective methods possible.
Ages 10 and up.

Kickboxing Aerobics (K.B.A.)
K.B.A. is a very fun, intense and accelerated class. While the class covers basic punches, kicks and combinations, its focus is on burning calories. K.B.A. students train with the school's punching bags as well as a class instructor, while listening to high-energy music to keep motivation high.
Ages 12 and up. (3 or more students must be present for class to begin).
