PRIMAL-7
Primal 7 is not just a name, rather it comes from the deep understanding that as humans we have seven different "primal movements" we need to be able to perform to function optimally: Push, Pull, Squat, Lunge, Gait, Twist and Hinge. The exercises designed for the Primal-7 system are all based upon the appropriate use of these movements. Save movement is out priority! Primal-7 functions as a suspension system with assistance straps connected by an elastic band that is designed to help you increase mobility, improve balance, and build functional strength. The suspension system allows you to ease stress on body components allowing the exercise of a full range of motion and muscle use without undue stress or hardship to your body. It improves body alignment, posture, and "helps you conquer your can't". It is an extraordinarily successful system for physical therapy, rehabilitation, age or injury related weaknesses, and helps provide the ability to ease into fuller workouts.
MOBILITY TRAINING
Mobility Training optimizes movement and performance by increasing the range of motion within your joints and surrounding muscles. The benefits of mobility training are wide-ranging, helping with everything from pain and muscle soreness to form and strength.The main goal of mobility training is to improve the position of the joint, which helps increase power output, resulting in efficient performance. When you have a good range of motion, you can push move much more efficiently. This translates to fewer injuries, more productive training, a faster pace and improved athletic performance.
KALI - ARNIS - ESCRIMA
Self-Defense methods originating in the Philippines - incorporating elements from both Western and Eastern martial arts - the most popular forms of which are known as Arnis, Escrima, and Kali. The intrinsic need for self-preservation was the genesis of these systems. Throughout the ages, invaders and evolving local conflict imposed new dynamics for combat in the islands now making up the Philippines. The Filipino people developed these skills as a direct result of an appreciation of their ever-changing circumstances. Learn this indigenous self-defense art form through certified instructors in the art.

NO-GI JIU JITSU
No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is a class practicing the grappling art art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, but without the traditional uniform (or Gi). Instead of a Gi, you wear shorts and a rash guard. In No Gi you cannot grab your opponent’s clothing which some believe is a more practical street-defensive approach. When you train No-Gi, you can wear anything from rashguards specifically made for No-Gi BJJ to a t-shirt and shorts. This makes gear requirements much easier to sustain both physically and financially. No-gi Jiu Jitsu can teach you a lot about controlling your opponent and learning how to distribute your weight, all while working towards submitting your opponent.
