How much does it cost?

We try to keep things really simple at The Academy. The price for a membership is $110/month. This price includes unlimited classes as well as unlimited use of the gym during open hours. There are no hidden fees.

There are no contracts. You can cancel your membership at any time (we just ask for 14 days written notice). We use recurring billing that comes out of any checking account or credit card and we do this in house in order to make sure you are taken care of the way you should be.

Big Dogs

This is for ages 7-12. These classes will expand on the skills developed in the Lil Pups class. Big Dogs focus on character development as well as Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. Our students will learn martial arts for self-defense, and sport. They will develop teamwork, athleticism, respect, fitness, and skill in the top dog of the martial arts world. The lessons learned on our mats will change their life, and prepare them for any challenge. This is the first step on the way to achieving their Junior Black Belt.

Advanced Class

This class is for Big Dogs that have achieved the rank of Green Belt and above. This is the class where Junior Students develop the techniques needed to finish their path to Junior Black Belt, and to develop the learning, and attention skills to continue in the Adults Classes if they decide to continue their training past just a childhood hobby.

Big Dogs Grappling

This is a class that is less lecture and more application! It is predominately a live training class. It is challenging and VERY strenuous. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu sparring (called Rolling), and fitness training will make up the bulk of these classes.

Big Dogs Sparring

This class will introduce students to Muay Thai (kickboxing) sparring. We will focus on developing the proper attitude and etiquette needed to spar in a safe, fun, and beneficial manner. Proper equipment is required.
