What is the best martial art?

  • There is no correct answer to this question.  Every art has been tested, studied and adapted through years of training to be ideal under its given circumstances.  The question we typically ask is “what situation are you intending to train for?” 

Which martial arts studio should I join?

  • That entirely depends on what you are wanting to learn and what situations you intend to train for
  • Every gym runs a unique program and every instructor will have his or her own strengths/weakness
  • Most gyms offer a free trial or for you to observe a class.  We recommend checking out 3-4 gyms in your local area to get a sense of how classes are run, which instructors you vibe with and what students you would feel most comfortable with training?

Pro MMA fighters don’t wear a uniform (Gi) when fighting on tv.  Why should I train in one?

  • The Gi serves multiple purposes with the first being hygiene as you will be making far less skin to skin contact sharing sweat.
  • It is very rare in a self defense situation that you will just be wearing swim trunks
  • A grappling Gi provides easily accessible grips which simulate everyday clothing (the sleeves on one’s sweater, the belt on your pants or the collar of a jacket) but are properly reinforced to be more durable.

How should I wash my Gi?

  • Machine wash in either warm or cold water is preferred along with hanging it overnight to dry
  • We advise against using hot water or extended time in the dryer to prevent shrinkage as most are made of cotton

How often should I wash me Gi?

  • AFTER EVERY USE.  Don’t be that person at the gym with the stinky Gi.  Coming from a Judo background, we can tell you that its gross and nobody is going to want to train with you.

How do I wash my boxing gear?

  • Your boxing gloves are not designed to be put in the washing machine but the insides can be sprayed.  The #1 line of defense is having a steady supply of clean hand wraps.  Wash them after every single use to prevent sweat and bacteria from building up inside your gloves
