CLASSES
ADULT
JIU JITSU
As a Graciefighter school, our main focus is Jiu Jitsu. We focus on real life situations and teach techniques that have been proven effective time after time. In our Jiu Jitsu class, you will learn takedowns, maintaining control of your opponent, transitioning to a dominant position, submissions that include chokes and joint locks as well as how to defend and counter these situations and get out of bad positions. You will learn to control and neutralize larger and stronger opponents. Some of our Jiu Jitsu classes also go over common self defense scenarios and basic striking.
All of our classes start with warm up drills before we go over and practice technique. Our Jiu Jitsu classes include sparring (rolling in Jiu Jitsu lingo) where students put their skills to test with resisting training partners. Sparring with a training partner that is resisting and countering moves just as they would in a real fight in a safe environment provides our students with real world experience should they ever have to use Jiu Jitsu in a real life self defense situation.
Our adult Jiu Jitsu classes are open to anyone ages 13 and up.

WRESTLING
WRESTLING
Wrestling is an essential skill for any complete martial artist. It emphasizes takedown, takedown defense and control of your opponent. It lets you decide where the fight takes place, whether you want to keep it standing or take it to the ground. Competing in the sport of wrestling teaches many valuable lessons such as hard work and perseverance.
Our wrestling is very much incorporated into our Jiu Jitsu classes and we mainly focus on wrestling for Jiu Jitsu and MMA. For those who are interested in folkstyle or freestyle wrestling, we offer small group classes and private classes so contact us if you are interested in just wrestling.
Wrestling will help improve takedowns and takedown defense, will give you advantage in scrambles and maintaining top control, improve cardio and help develop a strong grappling base.
Whether you want to just wrestle, supplement Jiu Jitsu, get a great workout or just want to try something new, all are welcome to stop by and try a class.
MUAY THAI
MUAY THAI
MMA/ SELF DEFENSE
MMA/ SELF DEFENSE
Developed over hundreds of years, the martial art of Muay Thai is known for its tremendous power, efficiency, and simplicity. Often referred to as the “Art of Eight Limbs”, the art incorporates the use of knees, elbows, shins, and hands. This allows the practitioner to use all the weapons available to the human body in kicking range, punching range, and the clinch, making it effective in all ranges of standup fighting unlike most other striking based martial arts.
Muay Thai is now one of the most well-known and practiced martial arts in the world. It has proven to be effective, which is why it is the most common striking base for MMA.
But Muay Thai isn’t just about fighting. It’s a comprehensive full-body workout that develops strength, endurance, coordination, and mental resilience. It is also highly effective for self defense.
Our classes are beginner friendly, and include conditioning, technique, pad work and sparring for those who want to spar.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact sport that uses techniques from multiple combat sports and martial art disciplines, and allows both striking, kicks and grappling, both on the ground and standing.
Our MMA program focuses on building well rounded fighters and helps teach students how to put together elements from multiple disciplines in an effective way. We help you build a solid ground game utilizing techniques from multiple grappling arts (jiu jitsu, wrestling, catch-wrestling and sambo) as well as focus on striking (boxing and kickboxing). If you have aspirations to fight professionally, we have the first hand experience required to help you achieve that goal and will walk you through every step along the way including conditioning, nutrition and weight cuts.
Our MMA classes are not only for students who want to go on to become pro fighters, our classes are open to everyone who wants to be prepared for self defense in any situation, anyone who wants to be a well rounded Martial Artist and anyone who wants an intense workout. These classes cover many common self defense situations and teaches students to deal with these situations through a combination of grappling and striking arts.
