About Us & Our Programs

Welcome to the academy's information page. Here you will find answers too many of the questions you may have about training with us. As always, feel free to contact us regarding any specific questions you may have and we would be happy to assist you.

Do you address both stand up and ground fighting?
Yes of course, it is the reality of the world we live in and therefore we must deal with both of these elements. Our philosophy on the ground is much diferent than say Brazillian Ju Jitsu. Since we are not concerned with "sport" we do not engage in submission grappling, or wrestling matches on the ground. Instead, we use counter grappling mechanics to deal with the situation and get back to our feet as soon as possible. We train for the streets and due to this, we expect to engage with multiple attackers so it makes no sense to be on the ground any longer than necessary.

How are you different from other Martial Arts?
Here there are no illusions, no katas or rituals, simply put no non-sense. We base our mechanics on natural instinctive movements that are easily understood and dont take 5-10 years to be able to use under stress. Our reality-based systems are designed to teach real self-defense and build big ability fast!

Do you have tournaments?
No, we do not have tournaments, unlike some arts, we do not teach a sport.

Can I come in and watch a class?
Absolutely, just email or call us and let us know when you would like to come in. We prefer you either watch or particiapate in a class prior to starting. We belive in providing our students all the information possible for them to make an informed decision about their training.

What's a typical student like, will I fit in?
We attract a wide variety of men/women who share the desire to increase their self-confidence and ability to realistically defend themselves and their loved ones. Participants typically include Military and Law Enforcement personnel, homemakers, high school/college students, athletes, artists, professionals, etc.
