I have been with this group since before its conception in 2015. Never have I been so impressed by the amount of knowledge that the instructors know and humbled at the same time about what I still have to learn. With 5 main lead instructors, you will get a diverse teaching method based on the style(s) you wish to pursue. Classes are relatively personal and small. You will deal in hand to hand, weapon to weapon, hand to weapon, and private lessons are available too and will be tailored (by both you and the instructor) to your strengths and weaknesses. These classes are not like kickboxing classes where you are going to mindlessly burn 1000+ calories. These classes are based on 1) the relative assumption that you have taken up previous studies in other (or same) martial arts, 2) learning both fine and gross motor skills to assist you in the event you have to defend yourself or another, and 3) committing to learning an art(s) by continuing to practice in order to achieve personal progression. I personally encourage all the styles until you figure out which one(s) needs and likes. The door is always open. Stop in for a visit !

This place is amazing. I didn't have very high expectations going in, but now that I have been there for a while, I can say for sure that this place is legit. They don't make you do pushups, endless bouts of cardio, or other exercises like other McDojos out there would. Applied Combatives Group focuses on techniques and principles. And they excel at it. The instructors are certified by Guru Dan Inosanto and are extremely friendly,helpful, and informative. They work with you individually even in a group setting so beginners will definitely learn something and not be confused. I would definitely try this place if you are interested in REAL martial arts, whether it be to defend yourself or if you have a genuine interest in some of the most effective martial arts in the world. Highly recommended!
