Is the perfect choice for children K-8. Our program works unlike any other children's activity simply because it has the perfect blend of realistic training and fun learning. Self-discipline itself is not enough; we also teach our kids the art of self-defense, an important life skill.

Kids today face more bullies and negative peer pressure than ever before, so it is essential they have the skills necessary to distinguish between good and bad, right from wrong.At Semper Fi MMA Academy we teach a realistic, streetwise self-defense system that combines the most effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo, and Grappling techniques.
A 60 minute action-packed, high-energy, motivating class that combines the intensity and quick movements of boxing, martial arts and aerobics with strength exercises, circuit training, endurance drills, and abdominal work. All to improve your agility, cardiovascular fitness, weight loss, muscle tone and give you an intense total body workout.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is a very effective martial art that uses the dynamic principles of leverage and techniques for dealing with stronger & bigger opponents or attackers. Whether you're on the ground or a tight space such as an elevator, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu helps you obtain the dominant position and control which provides the option to submit your opponent with various submissions such as chokes, arm locks, shoulder locks, etc.
Muay Thai Kickboxing emphasizes simplicity and directness in its use of the body's eight weapons, namely: punches, elbows, knees and kicks. However, Muay Thai's secret weapon lies in its system of intense physical conditioning. Also known as the Science of Eight Limbs, Muay Thai is effective in both open and closed distances, allowing you to defend yourself in almost any environment.
Mixed Martial Arts is great for those who want a complete self-defense and the physical conditioning MMA athletes endure. MMA, once a competition between martial arts, has become a unique martial art of its own. Our MMA program honors the fusion of techniques from Muay Thai kickboxing, Wrestling, Boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

Semper Fi MMA Academy is impressive. I have nothing but the highest compliments and I am not one to be easily impressed.

At Semper Fi, new kids are eagerly welcomed into the fold by the other kids and parents are quickly welcomed by other parents. There are no cliques and everyone is very open. When you join you are welcomed into a family like environment:

There is no supremacy complex here. Higher belts help lower belts and learn even more while doing so. Their technique is refined and every class you practice what you know and learn something new.

Sensei Julio is incredible. He establishes

The womens kickboxing is a dance class... literally- we were instructed to just stand around and dance. Not a challenge at all and certainly not kickboxing.

Also they block anyone with a negative experience from their facebook page so im sure im not the only one who has had issues with this place.

Horrible experience! I took my son there for a try out when we arrived a class was finishing up so we waited. After the class ended my son walked over to the instructor who told him he'd be right with us. The next class began their warmup, we waited some more. After a half an hour the instructor who is also the owner walks over( does not introduce himself) tells my son he's late and they're are consequences for lateness. I politely interjected asking what time class began. To which he replied 6:15 when I told him we had been there before that waiting for the younger group to finish
