Benefits

Our kickboxing session will bring out a whole new you and more! We are so confident that our” Fit As a Fighter” program is worth every bit of your evening time that we invite you to take a trial lesson for only $25.00.

  • FUN: In order to benefit from any fitness program, you must enjoy being a part of the solution.  When you come on board, you will see the difference immediately as others around you are excited about the fitness process.

  • CARDIOVASCULAR:  When it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, we can all appreciate the benefits of cardiovascular activity.  As a matter of fact, the amount of exercise may be more important than intensity to improve cardiovascular health. Our classes will keep you moving so we do not lose sight of your goals, and for the better than average individual, increases in duration or intensity will allow you to achieve even greater fitness gains!

  • MUSCLE TONE AND CONDITIONING:  Americans simply do not exercise enough, and although the amount of exercise is up for debate, we recognize that exercise changes skeletal muscle, which plays a key role in the reduction of cholesterol. Exercise also influences the type and location of body fat, which is also a key risk for cardiovascular disease.  To help in that effort, developing a strong, toned, attractively shaped body therefore needs a fitness program that provides the benefits of working all the muscle groups.

  • WEIGHT LOSS: Many people exercise to lose weight, but when that does not occur, we end up back on the couch!  At the Academy, we become a part of your goal to shed those extra pounds and work towards a healthier lifestyle.  We get excited just like you when we see the difference, and when YOU feel good about YOU, that is all that counts!  
  • FLEXIBILITY:  Flexibility is key to a healthier lifestyle.  Flexibility training (stretching) will allow you to increase your range of motion for the Kickboxing sessions and provide your body with the ability to operate at peak levels of performance, decrease the risk of injury, reduce muscle soreness and improve overall posture, reduce risk of low back pain, improve muscle coordination, and allow you to continue enjoying the fun by simply relaxing both mind and body.

Training and learning under Guro Dave has been a truly fantastic experience. He is very considerate of individual skill level and will make sure anyone, even absolute beginners, feel welcome. I’ve been training here for about eight months and have learned a ton about self defense, situational awareness and even my own personal development. Overall a great place to train!

I was a complete beginner to this process and had never practiced martial arts prior to working with Guru Dave and his instructors. Being in my mid-thirties, I was apprehensive about my physical ability with such a demanding program. That being said, I have looked forward to coming to every class. I have learned a tremendous amount and enjoy the continued opportunity to learn more! I highly recommend this place!

Awesome martial arts school! Everyone is so welcoming and helpful. Guru David has so much knowledge and experience in multiple arts. I think a true blend of arts is the best thing you can find and this is possible at this school because of the vast knowledge that Guru David has, even though you study each art individually. I really look at the group as a family. I learn so much and have so much FUN! I would recommend to anyone out there no matter their experience.

Love this place! I have been coming here for about a month now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The class sizes are relatively small with a variety of skill levels from beginners to advanced. Everyone is friendly and eager to help you learn. Guro Dave is amazing, He takes the time to introduce you to everyone and help beginners get acclimated with the basics. I was nervous at first, but after being in that environment for one class I have no problem going back.
