Jim let’s you learn, with out getting injured, at your pace and at the same time teaches real skills that can be used in the real world. I look forward to continuing my learning with Jim Graden.”

PRIVATE LESSON PROGRAMS AVAILABLE
Martial Arts Fitness I hold a 7th degree master rank in the Joe Lewis Fighting System (JLFS). I trained directly with the legendary Joe Lewis for over 20 years. I credit the training I received from Joe Lewis for making me a World Kickboxing Champion and an instructor that approaches martial arts teaching as a science of unarmed combat.
We can approach the Martial Arts and Fitness in many ways. We can strive for a Black belt in the JLFS or just learn the patterns and techniques without focusing on belts. Train for the fighting skills or more for the health benefits of the workouts, Its up to you.
The workouts will start on more of an instructional level than most training session programs. But over time as you develop yours skills and conditioning we will get pretty intense. But as always I create a program that is just for you and what your goals and needs are.
