Universal Kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu is Freestyle Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for fitness, sport and competition. After the fundamentals are developed such as stance, footwork, guards, basic punches and kicks, then the program chosen will determine the next techniques learned, and training routine for that student.
After the fundamentals are learned, students will then begin to accomplish additional skills such spinning kicks, spinning punches, jumping techniques, sweeps, takedowns and transitioning from stand up striking to ground protection.

Meaning that, “your ego is left at the door” and everyone is treated as a an equal when initially joining, until the Coach determines your appropriate placement based on your experience. This way, beginners can feel welcome and learn comfortably without feeling the need to “keep up” with the more experienced students.
