The Russian Kettlebell is an extreme handheld
gym. A kettlebell or girya (Russian term) is a traditional cast
iron weight that looks like a cannonball with a handle. It comes
in a variety of sizes from 9lbs to 106lbs and is the ultimate tool
for all-around fitness. The kettlebell replaces: barbells, dumbbells,
belts for weighted pull-ups and dips, thick bars, lever bars, grip
devices and cardio equipment. Kettlebells are highly effective for
building strength, endurance and improving body composition. The
extreme kettlebell workout would have remained the exclusive domain
of Russian spec ops, had former Spetsnaz instructor Pavel Tsatsouline
not immigrated to the U.S. The elite of the U.S. military and law
enforcement instantly recognized the power of the Russian kettlebell,
ruggedly simple and deadly effective. ACE FitnessMatters Article on Kettlebells - Twice the Results in Half the Time?

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, also known as BJJ, is a martial art the primarily focuses on grappling, most notably ground grappling. It was derived from the Japanese martial art of Kodokan Judo in the early 20th century. The founding principle with BJJ is that technique prevails over strength when fighting a larger opponent. Royce Gracie popularized this art during the inception of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in the 1990's. BJJ emphasizes taking an opponent to the ground and utilizing ground grappling techniques and submission holds which involve joint-locks and chokeholds. The idea behind this powerful art, which makes it ideal for women too, is that while a large opponent can dominate a fight with superior reach and more powerful strikes, these factors are more pronouncely negated on the ground. Judo was founded in 1882 in Japan by Jigoro Kano. Professor Kano was a student of many Japanese Jujutsu styles and it was his vision to create a martial art that incorporated the best techniques of Japanese Jujutsu while eliminating their hazardous techniques.. Judo began to replace Jujutsu in Japan and through the efforts of Professor Kano and his students, it spread throughout the world. Judo was the base of many other martial arts including Russian Sambo and Brazilian Jiiu-Jitsu. Judo is one of the few Eastern martial arts that became an Olympic sport. Arguably the best Judoka that has competed in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is Karo Parisyan. Anyone that has seen Karo compete in the UFC can see how effective Judo can be in MMA. Our Judo program is overseen by Master Sid Kelly. Master Kelly is an incredible teacher and highly respected in the Judo community. The Combat Hapkido system is a comprehensive martial art program specifically designed for adults. The focus of our program is on both fitness and self defense. Our core Combat Hapkido program emphasizes self defense through punching and kicking techniques along with an array of joint locking techniques (Combat Hapkido's specialty). In addition to our core program, Combat Hapkido offers training in grappling (both standing and ground) along with throwing techniques and weapon defensive training. Our academy is licensed by the International Combat Hapkido Federation as an official Combat Hapkido Training Center. Our Chief Instructor, Dennis Hill, is a fully certified instructor in the Combat Hapkido system. Combat Hapkido is continuously enhanced to insure that it is on the cutting edge of self defense. Combat Hapkido has been described within the martial arts community as the "Science of Self Defense" and as "the Ultimate Self Defense Art." Sambo Wrestling

Kickboxing Our workout is superior to other kickboxing programs. We use heavy bags, kick shields, medicine balls, jump ropes and focus pads to work all the major muscle groups in your body. We also use strength and conditioning techniques to burn fat and tone your body. Our classes are full of high energy and will keep you motivated to reach your fitness goals. Everyone is encouraged to go at their own speed and no prior experience is needed. If you are out of shape, this program will get you IN shape, all while having a blast. Some classes focus solely on bag work, while others focus on using kick shields and focus mits. You will be surprised at how fast that hour goes by! Our Muay Thai program focuses on this incredible fighting art with punches, kicks, knees and elbow strikes. A full range of punches are used such as straight right/cross, jabs, hooks and uppercuts. Kicks include Thai roundhouse kicks, side kicks, push kicks and spinning back kicks. Elbows are used as deadly stricking weapons and students are taught the proper way to rotate their body while performing these techniques. Knee techniques include straight knee jabs and flying knee strikes. Also practiced is clinch work. During class, thai pads, focus mits and heavy bags are used to help students learn the techniques and improve their timing and punch combinations. Sparring is done with students wearing protective gear. Just as we do not wear traditional martial art
uniforms in our MMA program, we do not wear the traditional Muay
Thai shorts during practice. Our students typically wear their MMA
shorts and a school t-shirt during class. Shinguards are used to
protect the legs during training as well as belly pads and headgear.
Training is rigourous and students without prior martial arts experience
do not participate in this class until they have gained experience
in pad holding and learn control in punching and kicking. Known as the "sweet science," Boxing is arguably the best martial art to study for punching effectiveness and evasiveness. Boxing focuses heavily on physical conditioning through drills that develop strength, speed, and stamina. Although the overall arsenal of a boxer seems limited over other martial arts, it is a key component to the MMA Athlete looking to improve striking ability both standing and on the ground.
At our academy, we strive to be much more than a kick and punch school. We are always looking for ways to enhance your children's learning experience. Your child deserves a full curriculum that helps to develop them socially and cognitively as well as physically. In order to achieve these high standards, we incorporate the POWerful Words Character development system in our martial art curriculum. Developed by Child and Adolescent Development Specialist, Robyn J. A. Silverman, PhD, this program provides a multitude of resources to the families of our school for the betterment of our children. Powerful Words provides easy to follow lessons specifically designed for children ages 4 and older. Each month our students have the opportunity to be positively recognized for completing a POWerful Project. These projects are age appropriate, very educational and fun to complete. You'll also notice during every class our students get to take part in a POWerful Mat Chat that will help them to solidify their understanding of the POWerful Character Word of the Month. Such a character education program used within the context of our organized martial arts lessons, invites students to listen, share, discover and reflect on ways to become upstanding members of our community as well as confident individuals.
