FAQs
What style(s) of martial arts do you teach?
Our system is a modern martial arts system developed by Shihan Mike Vacca and based on a range of effective striking, weapons, and grappling styles including Kenpo Karate, Muay-thai, Krav Maga and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. In addition to our modern martial arts system, we are a certified Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Center. Click here to learn more about our Gracie Jiu-Jitsu specific programs.
Do you follow strict / traditional ways?
We have adapted our martial arts curriculum over the past 32 years in a manner that retains some of the values provided by older traditions (discipline, focus, signs of respect, approaches to learning, some traditional kata) with the most effective self-defense oriented techniques from various martial arts styles. We are also highly focused on fitness and character development.
Will my child become a bully?
Through our work, we have seen that confident kids make kinder kids. We teach children how to not only stand up to bullies for themselves, but how to stand up for others. Our Rules of Engagement teach children to avoid the fight if at all possible by first using their words, and then telling an adult.
When they do need to resort to physical self-defense, we teach children how to neutralize, defend, control, and negotiate if possible.
Are parents allowed to watch classes?
We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! Even better… you can join in our martial arts classes for adults, and have yet another thing in common with your child. We love seeing the bond of families who train together!
Do I need to be fit or athletic?
There are zero fitness requirements to be able to start our beginner classes! One of the benefits of our martial art form is that it relies on technique and timing rather than strength, speed, or athleticism.
Our students start at all different fitness levels, however, you will find that you do enhance your fitness by attending classes. Isn’t that the point though? A fun workout that gets results!
What should I bring to my first lesson?
We recommend wearing comfortable workout style clothing such as gym shorts or leggings, and a t-shirt or dry-fit type short. If you decide to continue with your training we will get you set up with the necessary items from our approved uniform & training gear.
How do I claim the free 10-calendar day trial?
We only have a certain amount of space in our martial arts training area. To take advantage of our limited time offer, the fastest way is to fill in the form at the top of this page!
Additionally, you can always give us a call. We would love to chat with you about what we do, and to help you determine if our martial arts classes would be a great fit for you and your family!
