Achieving a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or mastery in Muay Thai requires a significant amount of dedication, discipline, and training. The time it takes to achieve this level varies from person to person and depends on many factors such as frequency of training, natural ability, and commitment to the art. As long as you are consistent in training, you’ll start to see progress quickly.

For Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, you’ll borrow a gi (the BJJ uniform) - plan on wearing fitted athletic clothing such as compression shorts and shirt that will be comfortable under the gi. For Muay Thai, we recommend wearing comfortable workout clothes such as shorts and a t-shirt, you will borrow gloves and shin guards for the first class. Absolutely no zippers or buttons allowed on the mats.
One where you have fun, learn something new every class and feel a real sense of progression. Most people get hung up on the actual Martial Art, even if they know nothing about it before they start. You can learn one or more arts with us, knowing you'll always have fun in a friendly environment.
No one is born fit – we've all started somewhere. Our introductory classes provide an excellent opportunity to discover if you are right for martial arts and martial arts is right for you.
