Karate begins with “Lil’ Dragons,” for children aged four and five (or three, if toilet trained). Karate Beginners encompasses children and adults, as does Karate Intermediate and Advanced. Mixed Martial Arts, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and Kickboxing are for students in middle school and up. Various Boot Camp programs, which can include circuit training, “Abs & Bags,” and/or High Intensity Training with cardio and weights, are available for “Women Only,” or “Mixed.” Classes adhere to a schedule that runs from morning to evening. Private training is available by appointment.
