In their words
Sample
"My daughter was shy about walking in the door. The coaches met her where she was, and now she counts down the days to class. The whole staff knows her by name."
Renee T. Parent, Little Warriors

Your version uses your real students.

Sample
"I had never thrown a punch in my life and figured everyone would be lightyears ahead of me. Day one I was paired with people who genuinely wanted me to get it. I actually look forward to Mondays now."
Marcus D. Adult Fundamentals, started as a beginner

Your version uses your real students.

Sample
"We came in for our son and ended up all training together. My husband, our two kids, and me. It is the one thing on the calendar we all protect. The Watch Wall is where we cheer each other on."

FAQ

Questions, answered.

New to the mat, or new to martial arts entirely? Here is what parents and students ask us most, straight answers, no runaround.

What age can my child start?
We welcome kids as young as 4. Every student trains in the Striking Academy group for their age, Mini (4–5), Kids (6–8), Youth (9–12), Teen (13–16) and Adult (17+), so they are always with the right group.
Can we try a class before joining?
Yes. Claim a free trial class, no cost and no obligation, before you commit to anything. You can also book a private, one-on-one lesson with Sensei Andrew to get started.
How much is a membership?
Three simple options, all unlimited: $150/month month to month, $1,500 for a full year paid up front (saves $300), or a group of 10 for $1,000/month. Every membership covers unlimited group classes across every discipline and every age. Private lessons are also available.
Do we need any equipment to start?
No, come as you are for your first class. As students advance (especially ages 6 and up), full equipment is required for the added contact, and we will tell you exactly what to get and when.
How do students progress?
We are a striking academy, so progression is based on demonstrated skill, not a traditional belt curriculum. Students advance as they show real technique, control, and consistency. Those who train inconsistently will not spar or compete until they are ready.
Is it safe? What about bullying?
Safety and respect come first on our mat. Our youth program carries a real anti-bullying focus, we teach kids the confidence and control to walk away from trouble, not toward it. Dojo discipline is strict and misbehavior is not tolerated.
What are the dojo rules?
Rei (bow) at the door before entering and exiting, and show respect always. Train barefoot, no running indoors, remove all jewelry, keep good hygiene, ask permission before leaving the mat, and be on time. Respect your instructors, your partners, and the dojo.
What disciplines do you teach?
Kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing, and MMA, built on a traditional dojo foundation. Teens and adults who want to compete can train with, or join, the A.B. Competition Team under a world-champion coach.
