01 / Before you talk yourself out of it
You don't need to be in shape to start.
"I'll start once I get in shape." It's the thing we hear most often on the phone. So let's deal with it right now.
Nobody is watching you.
Everyone on this floor had a first day, and everyone remembers it. The only person comparing you to the room is you, and that wears off fast.
You go at your own pace.
Every drill has an easier version. You sit one out when you need to and push when you're ready. An instructor stays with you: you're never left to figure it out alone.
80% never compete.
The vast majority of our members train for health, confidence and headspace. Not for the cage. The fight team is a choice you make, never a requirement.
Trying costs you nothing but $19.99.
One full group class, one instructor with you. Then you go home, think about it, and decide. Nobody is going to chase you.
02 / What we teach
Five ways to start.

Not a rushed trial in the corner of the room. A real group class, start to finish, with an instructor who knows it's your first one.
07 / FAQ
What people ask us on the phone.
What does it cost?
The intro is $19.99 for a full group class. After that, memberships come as 3, 6 or 12-month plans with monthly payments. Depending on the plan and how often you train, it works out to roughly $20 a class on average. We give you exact numbers in person, because we'd rather you see what you're getting before we talk money.
What are the class times?
Kickboxing, MMA and grappling blocks run weeknight evenings Monday through Thursday, plus Saturday morning. The full timetable is posted further up this page. You can join any block at your level. There's no session start date to wait for.
I've never done martial arts. Can I still start?
Yes, and that describes most of the people who walk through our door. No experience, no fitness baseline, no flexibility required. We've been teaching people from zero for fifty years. We know how to do it.
What's the minimum age?
Our kickboxing and MMA programs start at age 8. Groups are split into 8-12, then 13 and up with adults. Our oldest member is 70.
