Become a More Athletic You
Getting in shape and getting stronger are part of it, and we do all that. But boxing and the True Warrior style of training go further: they build real athleticism. Every round trains athletic skills that a treadmill or a weight machine never will.
Speed and quickness. Fast hands, fast feet and faster reactions.
Footwork, balance and agility. Move in every direction under control, the foundation of every athletic movement.
Hand-eye coordination and timing. Hitting mitts and slipping punches sharpens coordination that carries into every sport.
Explosive power. Learn to turn strength into speed by driving power from the ground up through your hips.
Athletic conditioning. Rounds of work and rest build the stamina athletes need when the game is on the line.
Body control and focus. Stay calm, think fast and move with purpose under pressure.
Whether you are a high school athlete looking for an edge, a weekend warrior, a busy parent or a former athlete who wants to feel athletic again, our athletic training in Mooresville will help you move better, react faster and perform at a higher level in sports and in life.
Our coaches include a pro champion and veterans of the U.S. Marines and Army Rangers. They will meet you where you are and push you to where you want to be.
From striking to grappling, we teach boxing, Muay Thai and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu for every level, from your first class to your first fight.
MMA & Muay Thai Kickboxing
Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs: punches, kicks, knees and elbows, taught by a former World Muay Thai title contender. Our MMA training combines striking, wrestling and submission grappling.
Learn real boxing technique, footwork and defense in a high-energy workout that builds speed, coordination and total athleticism, taught by an undefeated pro boxer. Morning and evening classes, sparring always optional.
Self defense first, sport second. Learn escapes, control and submissions step by step from a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt. Daytime classes for busy adults.
No. Most of our members walked in as complete beginners. Every class teaches the fundamentals and sparring is always optional.
