All of our classes are taught in a fun and relaxed atmosphere where you work at your own pace. We place a heavy emphasis on safety to ensure you come back

We offer the following types of classes;

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art as well as combat sport. BJJ is an extremely effective form of self-defense that focuses on grappling, especially ground fighting. It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend himself against a bigger, stronger assailant using leverage and proper technique notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person.

Jiu Jitsu can be trained for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as ‘rolling’) plays a major role in training.

Thai Boxing – Muay Thai – Kickboxing

Muay Thai utilises a combination of kicks, punches, elbows and knees to great effect. It can be used as an exceptional self defence mechanism or a physically demanding sport with emphasis placed on conditioning.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

MMA has grown in popularity primarily due to strong interest in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).
It is a combination of boxing, kick boxing, wrestling and Jiu Jitsu. MMA provides exceptional conditioning as well as equipping you with the skills and confidence to handle most threatening situations.

Arnis is our primary weapons focused system utilising sticks as well as defence against other forms of attacks such as knifes, bats and other common weapons
