Mixed Martial Arts for EVERY body.
Whether you are young or older, OUR MMA classes will get you into the BEST shape of your life! New Classes now forming.
Our Adult Program covers all the different aspects of Mixed Martial Arts training: stand-up, clinch and ground. By utilizing the best delivery systems for each range, we offer our students the most complete and functional training available!
At our gym there is no “bowing in”, no calling the teachers “sensei”, no “masters”, no 10 year old "black belts" or 12 year olds teaching the adult classes, no rituals, and no formalities. The individual comes first here, not the system. Each member has the opportunity to help determine how their training will progress, and they are encouraged to voice any thoughts they may have.
If you want to stand in line, beat up imaginary opponents, have orders barked at you in a foreign language, or waste your time on outdated and non-functional training methods, then I thank you for visiting our website but I would suggest that you should stop reading this and check out other sites because our gym is definitely not for you!
If you want to enjoy physical activity, work with classmates that will push you to test yourself, learn functional self defense skills taught with modern, practical training methods, and have the freedom to express yourself and any thoughts you may have regarding your training, then our gym is for you! I would encourage you to read on through our site and enjoy the information.

“I first met Rich at a seminar in Canada a few years back. My immediate impression was one of absolute sincerity. Rich trained hard, tried to help everyone he worked with, and had an obvious aptitude for the information being offered. But what came across the most was the genuine concern he had for the students in his class, and at his gym.
I travel often around the world, and finding someone with Rich’s skill and ability to teach is rare. But what is even more rare is finding someone like that who truly cares as much as Rich does about his people. And that sincerity cannot be faked.
So with that I can honestly say I would recommend Rich’s instruction, classes, and facility to anyone who asked. Regardless of experience, background, age, or specific objective, you will find something worthwhile in Rich’s teachings. And you will enjoy yourself along the way as well.”
