Welcome to Gods of War

“The first period is won by the best technician, the second period is won by the kid in the best shape, the third period is won by the kid with the biggest heart.” -Dan Gable, Olympic Gold Medalist and perhaps the greatest American wrestler ever. 

Hello! Welcome to Gods of War MMA. Our group of professional, full-time martial arts and fitness coaches believe that every activity starts with first principles and can be broken down into three (very closely linked and interwoven) parts; 

STRENGTH

“Conditioning is my greatest hold”- Karl Gotch, Catch wrestling legend. 

The physical preparations. 

Perhaps you have already dedicated your life to the pursuit of physical perfection? Great! Most of our students haven’t, and that’s ok too. We start our beginners training with the assumption that they haven’t already built up the very specific types of strength and mobility that are needed to safely and productively enjoy their sessions. Instead, we build this into our classes and syllabus alongside the techniques. 

Skill

“The future belongs to those who learn more skills and combine them in creative ways”  -Robert Greene

The technical element. 

This is the part that people mostly think of when they picture martial arts. The techniques, the moves - that sneaky arm lock, crazy kick or effortless throw. These are the specific details and moves that make up our Kickboxing, MMA and BJJ curriculums. 

Will

“Training? The training is nothing! The will is everything !!”  -Ras Al Ghul in Batman begins. 

Not happy quoting a Batman villain, but honestly possibly the single most apt quote there is. At Gods Of War there is a strong emphasis on building applicable routines to aid performance in all aspects of life. We don’t buy into the idea that you are simply ‘born tough’ or ‘born weak’. Our systems and personal development plans constantly challenge you to fix goals, plan towards them, set your own boundaries, and, where appropriate, push beyond them. 

Will is everything, that is why it also has to be trained. 

By building from these principles in a structured and holistic way, our students are able to make excellent progress, whether it’s for fitness and fun or with the aim to join our successful competition team. 

MMA, BJJ, Kickboxing, Action training, Fitness? It doesn’t matter, Valhalla is calling you!
