A Martial Arts Program for Every Age

Our 8-week martial arts program is built for the whole family, with tailored classes for youth, teens, and adults. Blending the powerful kicks of Taekwondo, the sharp strikes of Boxing, the flowing movement of Jeet Kune Do, and the balance and redirection of Tai Chi, we provide age-appropriate training that grows with each student while keeping the family learning journey connected.

Broken Country spans two pivotal timelines—1955 and 1968—following Beth, a woman whose peaceful life is disrupted by the return of her first love, Gabriel Wolfe.
