It doesn’t matter if you’re older or younger, in shape or out of shape, have old injuries or limitations or think you can or you can’t, this program is for everyone!

You will start off by focusing on increasing your health, physically and internally, while doing it at your own pace. You will learn how to bring your mind and body together as one for inner peace and to help deal with the stress of everyday life whether it’s work, home or school life. You will learn how to defend yourself verbally, mentally and physically in a non-combative environment. Most of all, you will start to feel good about yourself and good about everything around you. Because this mixed martial art is a combination of several arts, you can tailor it to fit your abilities, limitations, wants and needs. If you ever wanted to try martial arts, learn self-defense or increase your physical fitness, this program is for you!

New Smoking and Tobacco Regulations !!!

Did you know that new smoking regulations have been adopted by the City of Union City?

Union City promotes a healthy living environment & protects non-smokers from exposure to secondhand smoke where they live, work, & play. In November, 2010, the City Council restricted smoking in rental complex units, unenclosed common areas, & outdoor dining spaces.

Tobacco retailers also need to obtain a local Tobacco Retailer License.

Key Requirements:

• Smoking is prohibited in all rental complex (2+ units) common areas (enclosed & unenclosed).

• As of Feb 23, 2012 smoking in any rental complex, including balconies & patios, is prohibited.

• Smoking is prohibited in all outdoor dining areas of restaurants & surrounding 25 feet.
