What you have to gain

Defend Yourself

The wise proactively prepare and train.

Today’s world is getting more chaotic and violent. If you are attacked, you need a way to defend yourself until the police arrive.

Guns don’t always help.
Rather than relying on a weapon, train yourself to be a weapon to defend yourself

and your loved ones.

Get Fit

Being physically fit boosts energy, mental clarity, and confidence.
Jeet Kune Do and Kali make staying in shape fun as it provides a creative workout and the motivation to come back for more!

Whether you’re an elite athlete looking for a competitive edge or a total beginner and think a “burpee” is a bodily function, we meet you where you are in life and ability.


Our caring instructors work with you to meet your goals in a positive, motivating environment.
You’ll practice dynamic martial arts, get a great workout, and have a blast.
