James McGar’s

about us

WE ARE WHAT WE REPEATEDLY DO. EXCELLENCE THEN, IS NOT AN ACT, OR A HABIT, BUT A WAY OF LIFE.

Honor Respect
Loyalty COMMITMENT

James has over 30-years experience teaching, training and is dedicated to making a positive impact on people’s lives by exposing them to the many benefits martial arts has to offer. James designs and approves all training programs taught based on “real world” experience. By combining a safe, friendly learning environment with quality instruction, we provide an atmosphere that fosters confidence, discipline and respect. Whether you are interested in competition, getting in shape, learning self-defense, or just need a hobby, we guide you along the way, ensuring that you get the most out of your experience. We welcome students of all ages and ability levels to join us for a group class or private lesson. Each week, our students bring unique experiences to the mat, and our goal is to use the martial arts as a means for growth in all areas of their lives.

We are passionate about guiding our students as they explore and develop new skills. While the benefits are personal, we believe that the practice of martial arts should always be functional. Our classes teach the street side of fighting as well as the technical, with an eye toward real-world self-defense. We train across the arts, utilizing stand-up, ground-fighting, and armed techniques, exploring personal strengths and weaknesses, as well as preparing our students for any situation they may encounter. While physical talent and stamina help, we have found the desire to learn and train is the real key to success.  Come train with our team today and let us help you reach your goals and dreams.
James is a member of the Elite Kenpo Council, teaches traditional martial arts, and is certified by the International Kenpo Karate Academies, International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation, and is Honorably Discharged from the United States Marine Corps.
