"5 Star Martial Arts is home to Brazilain Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing & CrossFit training, as well as a group of outstanding instructors. You can learn Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai at a lot of gyms, but what sets Five Star apart is that they are teaching you the correct and most technical ways to execute the moves that will take you to the highest level in the sport. On top of that, 5 Star offers a safe and comfortable training environment as well as a very flexible schedule.

" Martial arts training is not only about kicking and punching, but you will also learn lessons that are essential in everyday life. Those lessons are discipline, courage, strength, confidence, and knowledge. Martial arts gives us self confidence in all areas of life, but the root of that confidence is in your ability to defend yourself, or to protect others with your skills. That confidence removes fear from your heart. When fear is removed from someone's heart anything and everything becomes possible. There was a period of my life recently where I was not training and going through some difficult times due to the recession. Everything became impossible and fear overwhelmed my heart. I forgot how to remove fear from my heart and how to persevere, basically a perpetual standing 8 count. Even in the short time I have been training at Five Star I am relearning what it means to strive, how to get up when I fall down, and remove fear from my heart. The greatest gift I can give anyone is the gift for them to believe in themselves." - Jamie K

It's such a welcoming environment and everyone there is like a brother or sister that really tries to help you get better. It's the best place to go if you want to become a beast!" -Kevin A

I have been training here for about several months. I think the instructors are great, the fellow students are very supportive and cheer you on. The instruction is technical, step by step and very clear. This is a great place to get exercise and learn self-defense as woman. While at 5 Star, I have gotten in great shape and have become much more confident. The instruction is top notch and the entire atmosphere here is great! -Sonal J
