Martial Arts
Ninjas Kids – ages 3-7 | Youth Warriors – ages 8-14
Intention:
At the Forge Martial Arts Academy we focus on four pillars of character growth (Integrity, Discipline, Resilience, and Leadership). We specifically develop our programming for each age group to grow in these vital areas of life, so that students will be able to effectively handle peer pressure, bullying, daily stresses, and become the leaders that they admire. They will be learning skills to defend themselves in a variety of realistic situations using Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, boxing, Sanda, Judo, and other forms of martial arts. We also focus on team building, obstacle course training, some gymnastics, and much more. While developing skills in martial arts, self-defense and athletics, your child will simultaneously be developing skills in:
-

Brazilian Jiujitsu
Adults
Get a great full-body workout, lose weight, and learn a very practical martial art and competitive sport. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a great way to challenge yourself and grow in your own personal life and journey. Once a strong self-defense foundation has been achieved, more sportive aspects will be taught. At the Forge, we work hard to create a safe, supportive environment where everyone can learn and grow. We offer traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Judo elements, practiced in a gi or kimono, as well as no-gi, submission wrestling, practiced in workout gear.
Striking/Self-defense
Adults
Practice and perfect your punches, kicks, knees, and elbows using a variety of partner drills, and focus mitts. Additionally, learn how to effectively and powerfully defend yourself male or female in a variety of situations. This class is a great place to start if you have no previous martial arts experience and are looking for a fun, hard workout that tones and shapes your body, and become more flexible all while learning how to defend yourself if ever need be. We aim to build your confidence, empower you to new and higher levels of living your life and challenge you to grow in your fitness abilities without injuries.
