Our Culture

     WE’RE MORE THAN JUST A STUDIO. WE ARE A FAMILY

We pride ourselves on having a progressive, inclusive and positive team culture, while also producing some of the best martial artists in the region. Our focus is on creating a welcoming and judgement free environment where students with a variety of abilities and goals can become long term members of our community. 

We aim to make world class instruction and knowledge accessible to local communities around Rochester and to practice the traditional core values of martial arts – positivity, unity, integrity and purpose, as well as honesty and respect – in all aspects of our lives.

  Training martial arts is very different to other fitness activities and is a life changing journey for most people. The care, consideration and trust we bring to the mats not only creates a safe and positive training environment, but builds strong and lasting friendships between teammates in the process. 

We promote a long-term focus on training, with an emphasis on holistic practice, encouraging healthy living and eating, positive lifestyle choices and looking after our bodies and our minds so we can be on the mats for many years to come. 

Integrity is a fundamental aspect of the martial arts journey. It is the framework by which we make all our decisions and defines the way our staff and students conduct themselves on a day-to-day basis, both inside and outside the studio, with honor and authenticity.

Our classes cater to absolute beginners through to professionals. If you have a positive attitude, are ready to work hard and step outside your comfort zone with an awesome group of team mates to help keep you motivated along the way, you have found the right place!
