Class Descriptions

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)

 A martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting, BJJ is known for its practical self-defense applications and is a core component of mixed martial arts (MMA) training. We also offer specialized BJJ classes for Kids (3-15y), Ladies Self Defense, No Gi, and Competition. 


A martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and ground fighting. Developed in Brazil in the early 20th century, BJJ emphasizes techniques that allow a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend against and overcome a larger, stronger opponent. This is achieved through the use of leverage, joint locks, and chokeholds. BJJ is known for its practical self-defense applications and is a core component of mixed martial arts (MMA) training. It promotes physical fitness, flexibility, and mental discipline, making it a holistic approach to personal development and self-improvement.

Kung Fu (PAK MEI 白眉拳)

Perfect for students of all levels who want to learn practical self-defense skills. Pak Mei Kung Fu is a close-quarters combat system that incorporates grappling with the intent to strike (aka "Dirty Boxing").  Classes  also include weapons training, mobility training, and breath work.


The system was popularized in the early 1900s China by 張禮泉 Chueng Lai Chuen, after defeating nearly all of the famed masters of the era and earning his place as the head instructor at 黄埔区 Whampoa Military Academy (1924), the birthplace of SAN DA kickboxing. To this day, PAK MEI is still considered the deadliest of Chinese martial arts. 


PAK MEI emphasizes aggressive close quarters combat (blitzing), grip fighting/trapping, body mechanics, and breathwork. Contemporary PAK MEI as passed down from Grandmaster Chueng include elements of Wanderers, Southern Dragon, and Lee family styles.
