Children Programs
This is a glimpse of one of our expansive training floors. As you can observe, it offers ample room for practicing martial arts and engaging in workouts. Our class offerings encompass children's martial arts, Muay Thai, an "express" version of Kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, as well as Taekwondo and Hapkido.
The martial arts training floor is completely covered with 1.5-inch Dollamur mats, offering a premium surface designed to maximize safety and provide an exceptional training experience. As you look around, you will notice several hanging "Thai Bags" as well as standing "wave bags." These are integral tools used in our Thai Boxing Classes, No-Contact Kickboxing Express Classes, and Taekwondo Classes. Additionally, you will observe students engaged in grappling on these mats, which is a part of our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) class!
Can you picture yourself here? You'll feel right at home!
Next, you'll be introduced to our state-of-the-art strength and conditioning area. The floor is covered with a unique material known as "plyo-robic" rubber. This material is firm yet more elastic than a conventional rubber gym floor. This design provides a solid surface for effective training while significantly reducing impact on muscles and joints. As a result, you can push yourself harder and achieve better results. Although not immediately visible, approximately 50 kettlebells are neatly arranged off to the side.
Here, you'll observe members participating in bootcamp-style classes, powerlifting sessions, kettlebell workouts, and much more. Significant life transformations take place in this environment. We sincerely hope you decide to become a part of our community!
