Real People, Real Martial Arts, Real Training




Real People


When I say  "real people," it’s our tribe that transcends demographics or elitism, catering to individuals
of all walks of life, abilities, and physiques. This ethos prioritizes accessibility and extending a welcoming hand to anyone with a passion for self awareness and self improvement using the martial path as the way.


Real Martial Arts


"Real martial arts" - a commitment to authentic disciplines deeply rooted in history, tradition and practicality . Whether it’s our Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do/FMA classes, these practices offer tangible applications in self-defense, competitive combat, and physical conditioning. We proudly represent:

  • Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto & IIAMA (JKD/FMA/Silat), 
  • Warrior’s Way International, 
  • The World Thaiboxing Association 
  • The Old Gracie Thornwood lineage.    .


Real Training


"Real training" epitomizes a relentless pursuit of practical skill development through disciplined and intelligent practice. It encompasses drills, sparring sessions, conditioning regimens, and occasionally scenario-based simulations to mirror real-world encounters. The objective extends beyond mere physical prowess, aiming to cultivate mental resilience, self-discipline, and heightened situational awareness.


The essence:


In essence, "real people, real martial arts, real training" is an earnest and results-oriented approach to martial arts instruction. It's about preparing individuals for the challenges of reality, equipping them with the tools to navigate life's obstacles with confidence and poise.
