Meet the Owner – Jeff Pendergrass
My personal message to all of you:
Who are we? Well, I can tell you who we aren’t first: We ARE NOT a “McDojo.” We ARE a group of highly trained professionals, who love people and use our backgrounds in nutrition, exercise, and martial arts to provide a unique health and fitness and self-defense experience for our members. Oh, and we just happen to use punches, kicks, elbows, and knees (combatives) to help us along that path!

Our experienced instructors are dedicated to helping you reach your fitness goals and learn valuable self-defense skills in a welcoming, supportive and fun environment.
Under the close guidance of our staff, we provide each member with the ability to achieve your fitness goals, whether it be losing weight for a school reunion, toning up a post pregnancy body, or just making you feel better about yourself- WE HAVE IT COVERED!
Our fitness programs use the fundamentals of Kick Boxing, Boxing, Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Muay Tai, and other martial arts to help burn fat and build lean muscle. We deliver a fun experience every time our members show up and step on the mat. Couple that with the option to add one-on-one nutrition and accountability coaching allows you to attain optimal results.
Did I mention self-defense? Well, Krav Maga is the name of defense system we use to give members the ability to defend yourself, or others against a potential violent attack. The system takes the fundamentals of boxing, Muay Thai, Jui Jitsu, Judo and Wrestling to make a person well rounded in their ability to defend. The combatives of Krav Maga are learned and perfected in our heavy bag classes, where you can punch and kick with maximum effort and learn how to safely do so, without injury to yourself in the process. THIS IS WHERE THE FUN REALLY BEGINS!!!
The Krav Maga fundamentals class allows you the ability to transition from the heavy bag into the actual presentation of person-to-person pressure and control techniques to help develop your defense of self, in a controlled environment, and under the watch of expert instructors. Our advanced classes of Krav Maga allow our members, who have shown competencies in the fundamentals of Krav Maga, the ability to learn more advanced techniques, which include weapons defense, sparring, grappling and concealed carry weapons retention (among the other crazy things we do).
So, if you are looking for an intense cardiovascular and weight loss workout, which also allows you to develop a skillset for self-protection, come give us a try. I promise, you WILL NOT be disappointed, and you just might find that inner warrior inside of you in the process…
