Are you considering beginning your martial arts and fitness journey but feeling hesitant to take the first step? Here are five reasons to book your FREE first class with us today!
- We offer a wide range of fun and challenging martial arts classes, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu (No Gi), Muay Thai (Thai Boxing/Kickboxing), Wrestling, and MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). All of our classes are open to students of all experience levels (including no experience at all!) and every membership at our academy allows you to train multiple martial arts disciplines! Try a FREE class today to experience the self-defense, physical fitness, and mental health benefits for yourself!
- All of our classes are held in a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment. We believe strongly that people of all backgrounds and social groups deserve a place to train where they feel welcome and valued. Sadly, research indicates that many people still feel unwelcome at martial arts and combat sports gyms—women students in particular (see Follo 2012). At our academy, you will not only learn effective martial arts techniques but also do so in an inclusive and supportive environment. Visit our Yelp and Google pages to see why people consider us the friendliest academy in the Pasadena/Los Angeles area!
- Our instructors have a wealth of martial arts and combat sports experience. Coaches Justen Hamilton and Savannah Em have many years of experience teaching martial arts and competing in combat sports. Coach Justen is a multiple time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling champion and a former undefeated MMA competitor. He has also coached many athletes to championships of their own, including several amateur MMA champions and an IBJJF world champion. Coach Savannah is also an accomplished grappler, having won multiple Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Submission Grappling tournaments, and is currently 4-1 as a professional MMA athlete competing for ONE Championship!
- We value the health and safety of our members above all else. For that reason, we require that all students participating in our classes must be fully vaccinated with an authorized COVID-19 vaccine. Students must bring their COVID-19 vaccination card with them to their first class at our academy and be 14 days past the date of their final/second dose. That way, when you’re on our mats, you know that you and all of your teammates are safe and protected!
- We offer world class training at an affordable price. Are you ready to begin your journey but can’t afford to break the bank?
