Each of our students will learn the full breadth of combative sports to become proficient from standup striking, on the ground submission grappling, to both sword and stick fighting of all types, while instilling the most noble values of respect, honor, integrity, and humility.
“ As warriors, when we lose, we must lose graciously ;
When we win, we must win even more graciously. ”
