Martial Arts Classes
At Warrior Arts & Fitness we offer a variety of ways to train with us either in a class or as a private student with a PTP (Personal Training Program). Some students may prefer the more traditional route to training whereas others may take to the modern approach depending on their goals. Below is a description of our current martial arts which will grow as we grow.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ; is a martial art and combat sport based on ground fighting (ne-waza) and submission holds. It focuses on the skill of taking an opponent to the ground, controlling one’s opponent, gaining a dominant position, and using a number of techniques to force them into submission via joint locks or chokeholds.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was first developed around 1920 by Brazilian brothers Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastão Jr., George, and Hélio Gracie, after Carlos was taught traditional Kodokan judo by a travelling Japanese judoka, Mitsuyo Maeda, in 1917. Later they developed their own self-defence system named Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. BJJ eventually came to be its own defined combat sport through the innovations, practices, and adaptation of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, and became an essential martial art for modern MMA. Governing bodies such as the IBJJF work worldwide, and set the rules and standards to be held in sport BJJ competitions.
BJJ revolves around the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend him/herself against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent by using leverage and weight distribution, taking the fight to the ground and using a number of holds and submissions to defeat them. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling and self-defense situations. Sparring, commonly referred to as “rolling” within the BJJ community, and live drilling plays a major role in training and the practitioner’s development. BJJ can also be used as a method of promoting physical fitness, building character, and as a way of life.
Wing Chun Kung Fu
Made famous by the late Bruce Lee, Wing Chun Kuen, usually called Wing Chun, as well as Ving Tsun, is a concept-based traditional Southern Chinese Kung fu style and a form of self-defense, that requires quick arm movements and strong legs to defeat opponents. Softness and performance of techniques in a relaxed manner is fundamental to Wing Chun.
Satria Fighting Arts
The Satria Fighting Arts (SFA) is a dynamic and highly effective ancient martial art for our modern day. Although its lineage dates back to the Vedic culture, the SFA covers all aspects of combat, highly applicable for today’s society. It covers ground and upright fighting; one-on-one opponent to multiple attackers; close combat to long range fighting; empty hand techniques to using soft and hard weapons.
