RUSH MMA

Whether you are interested in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Sil Jun Do Tactical Self Defense, or Mixed Martial Arts; our Programs and Private Lessons offer an engaging experience for kids, teens, and adults. It's never too early or too late to begin learning the skills essential for "real world" self-defense. At the core of our programs is the philosophy that an effective martial art is one that is simple, efficient, and practical. We are not concerned with what was, but with what works. We don’t spend time on ineffective techniques, or martial arts pageantry like board breaking or forms. We are concerned with giving our students the best training available because we know that a false sense of confidence will betray you in a time of need. ​Our staff sets the standard for cutting edge practices by regularly attending clinics, seminars, and competitions. Instructors study, train, and spar on a daily basis. If we find a better training method or approach, we adapt to make it part of our regiment. Our flexible attitude and willingness to change makes us unique among other academies.
