BECOME A SUPERHERO
SELF DEFENCE
A modern approach to a new world. We offer real world defensive tactics designed to quickly develop your ability to protect yourself and your loved ones. We often have intermittent self defence courses planned with our community members and educational institutions such as the University of Northern British Columbia and College of New Caledonia. We use our daily lessons as self defence with experience from controlled sparring with resisting opponents.
STRIKING
We have run a private Wrestling school and we have had 3 boxing gyms run their business out of our Academy over 10 years but, we teach a combination of the best of Muay Thai, Boxing, Taekwondo. Kicking, punching, elbows and knees, a true hybrid of martial arts. One can expect daily footwork, body movements, bag work, pad work, drilling, and we always have some form of a resisting partner or sparring training for best results. COMPETITION TEAM! Yes we have a competition team in Brazilian Jujitsu, Muay thai, Kickboxing, wrestling and Mixed Martial Arts. We proudly won the Canadian National Amateur title for MMA, amongst many other belts alongside hundreds of medals.
