FILIPINO MARTIAL ARTS
The Southeast Asian fighting arts of Kali and Silat are renowned for their weaponry and empty hand skills. Related through time and culture, these two arts create a dynamic program for self-defense and development. Kali is a Filipino art widely recognized for its use of single stick, double stick, stick and knife, staff, and empty hand fighting. The grace, dexterity and fluidity developed form this art is astounding.
The exotic Silat is found from Indonesia, and it roots can be traced back to India. The movement resembles Kung Fu in its smooth and circular fashion. Trained in a dance-like set of motions called jurus, Silat is indeed a spectacular art to watch.
Our dynamic and powerful kickboxing transcends the typical “Cardio Kickboxing” classes with a true cross training of French Kickboxing (Savate) and Thai Kickboxing (muay Thai). Students will learn all the fundamental stances, footwork, strikes, kicks and defenses that make up a strong stand up fighting program.
Whether it is for fun, fitness or competition, STX Kickboxing will whip you into shape and have you kicking and punching the stress out of your life in no time.
Made popular by the Ultimate Fighting Championships of the early 90’s, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is indeed one of the most sought after and effective martial arts on the planet today. Students develop takedowns, ground positions, locks, chokes, and escapes all necessary for self-defense or sport.

Students learn the three traditional empty hand forms, wooden dummy sets, as well as the butterfly knives and long pole of Wing Chun. In addition the forms train mental focus, body awareness and the development and movement of internal energy or Qi.
