What to expect
Functional strength work paired with deep stretching, using movements chosen for martial artists. You build strength through the ranges you use when you kick, check and clinch, then open up the hips, hamstrings and shoulders that hard training tightens.
Who it is for
People who want to move well and be strong in any position. Beginners and advanced students alike.
Why it matters
Strength and flexibility together reduce injury risk and help your body recover between sessions, so you can keep showing up.

Do I need to be flexible already?+
No. Flexibility is what the class builds. Work within your range and it will grow.
How is this different from Mobility?+
Strength & Stretch adds functional strength training to the stretching. Mobility focuses on range of motion in specific joints and muscles.
Is it only for martial artists?+
No. The movements are chosen with martial artists in mind, but anyone is welcome.
