MMA classes combine cardiovascular conditioning with striking and grappling techniques, while Ultimate Fitness classes are tailored to individual paces.

The school also offers the T.E.A.M. martial arts program for children, a thirty-six-month curriculum that teaches values like discipline, focus, and respect alongside techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, Kickboxing, Karate, and Muay Thai. Additionally, they provide anti-bullying school programs for K12 students, featuring seminars on self-defense against larger attackers and discussions on stranger safety and the buddy system. The business has been operating since 2004, carrying on true Krav Maga training developed by Imi Lichtenfeld and passed down to its founder.
