Our self-defense philosophy is rooted in safety, hard work, respect, fun and family. We incorporate a strong anti-bully atmosphere where children and teens ages 6-18 can enjoy themselves, be themselves, and progress each week. Our techniques use a modernized Kung Fu and street-defense approach with speed, strength, surprise and explosive power. Individual athletes and martial artists need a place to go where they can reach the next level, while families need a place they can go for fitness, fun, discipline, respect, socializing and making friends -- we provide all of that under one roof.
Most importantly, our youth mentoring and anti-bully focus is so impactful and powerful that school superintendents, principals and have come to observe our methods of mentoring and building confidence in children and teens. Through our nonprofit division, we even offer free material for them to use in their own Health and Physical Education classes.
Our founder Ryan Gilbert is a licensed nurse practitioner with a board certification in Family Medicine and Acute Care. He has taught anti-drug anti-bully training seminars in developing countries and has brought his mission to over 100 public schools and youth centers across New England. He considers his work to be primarily a social mission before a business. Our children are our future.

SATURDAY CLASSES FOR TODDLER YOGA FITNESS WITH MOM/DAD
It doesn’t get any better than this. Our facilities offer convenient afternoon 30-minute power sessions for toddlers and parents to enjoy the true power of toddler fitness, spatial skills, social time and proprioception development, coupled with some relaxation time for busy moms and dads on the go that need something for them but includes their children. The classes include fitness and body yoga components while ending with fun games for an extra few minutes for parents to play with their toddlers.
SELF-DEFENSE AND FITNESS CLASSES
Meeting 3 times per week (Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday afternoons), our classes incorporate old school Kung Fu, modern mixed martial arts and street self-defense. All ages will be pushed to reach and exceed their limits. Students may bring in their own music to play during classes (clean songs only!). Weather pending, we often train in our elite outdoor ninja gym. Our class groups and times are separated into:
- Kids Ages 6-12 Self-Defense (though parents are allowed to participate with them)

- Adults Ages 18 and up Self-Defense, Strength and Cardio

BODYWORK FOR PARENTS AND ADULTS
We also offer bodywork for all adult members 18 and over, so parents can relax and get some stress relief or deal with chronic pains while their children are in our classes. Bodywork sessions are approximately one hour long. Bodywork is open to the general public also for one-time hour sessions as well.
MEDITATION CLASSES
Saturday’s specialized Meditation class will challenge even the best of meditation practitioners, though many combinations of our combined Tai Chi, yoga, pranayama and chi gung are taught appropriately for beginner level too. Wherever you are at, we will take you to your next level, beginner or advanced!
