Our Facility
-We have been in business since 1996. Most martial arts schools fail or switch owners in the first 2-5 years.
-We have a large open workout area. We have a 7000 sq.ft. facility with 4 training mats to provide as much training space as possible. There is a dedicated walkway around the floor so spectators do not interupt classes by going onto the workout area.
-Large bleacher style seating for parents/friends.
Most schools only provide 3-4 chairs for viewing.
-Convenient class times. There are minimum of 5 classes per week offered for all experience levels of student, You are not "locked in" to certain class times
like many other schools require you to do.

with no experience, regardless of age.
-Our color belt curriculum efficiently gives students skill and provides
plenty of challenge and opportunity for all skill levels
-Our Black Belt curriculum provides our students with International certification
opportunities, as well as exciting challenges. We have over 45 active
training Black Belts at our school.

are designed by the USA National Team Coach.
