Our Classes

1

Judo

$80 per month

 

Judo originated in Japan in 1882 and is built on the principles of balance, leverage, and efficiency. It emphasizes quick movements and using an opponent’s momentum against them to execute powerful throws and takedowns.

 

Judo techniques focus on throwing, pinning, and subduing an opponent through controlled pressure applied to the neck, shoulders, hips, and joints—making it both an effective martial art and a highly technical sport

2

Wrestling

$80 per month

 

Wrestling is a martial art and combat sport centered on grappling, control, and positional dominance. Athletes work to gain advantage through takedowns, throws, clinch work, pins, joint locks, and various holds within a structured rule set.

 

Wrestling builds strength, explosiveness, conditioning, and mental toughness, making it an excellent foundation for both self-defense and competitive combat sports.

3

Taekwondo/ Striking

$80 per month

 

Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and combat sport that blends self-defense with fast, dynamic movement. Training focuses on striking techniques including punches and kicks, while building agility, coordination, and discipline.

 

At Black Market, our striking program also incorporates a Dutch-style kickboxing approach. Students learn to strike using 12 points of contact: hands, feet, knees, elbows, shoulders, and hips—creating a well-rounded and powerful striking foundation.

4

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

$80 per month

 

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling-based martial art that focuses on controlling an opponent on the ground using leverage, angles, pressure, and precise timing rather than strength alone. Practitioners use submission holds—such as chokes and joint locks—combined with an understanding of human anatomy to neutralize an opponent and force a tap.

 

BJJ develops discipline, problem-solving skills, confidence, and real-world self-defense while providing an intense and rewarding full-body workout.

5

Mixed Martial Arts

Included with choice of art

 

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a hybrid combat sport that combines techniques from multiple disciplines including boxing, wrestling, Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, karate, Muay Thai, and more.

 

MMA training develops well-rounded fighters by blending striking, grappling, and ground control into one complete system. Students learn to adapt, transition, and apply techniques fluidly across all ranges of combat.
