The Edge Martial Arts Academy opened its doors in 2001 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Initially, Guru Jerry McCleary taught the traditional systems of Jun Fan Gung Fu, Silat, and Kali. But after mastering over 19 world-class martial arts systems he had come to recognize the strengths, redundancies, and deficiencies in each style.

The Edge Academy is great because Guru McCleary is great. He has invented a system that weaves together all aspects of fighting into a single art, and he embodies that art completely. He is an expert, an authority in the field, and you get to learn directly from him. He runs every class, and makes a point to circulate to every student during the class so they can feel each technique at its truest level.
If you want a YMCA Kickboxing class set to techno music, this is not for you.
If you want a rigid set of pretty forms, or showy flips, or look-how-high-I-can-kick, also not for you.

Serbatik is amazing. Guru Mcclary is one of the most brilliant martial artists in the knoxville area. Besides teaching applicable martial arts for self protection, Serbatik gives a thorough mental and spiritual knowledge that can be utilized through out life for youth and adults. I've been part of the family for about a year now and can say personally you'll find no better experience for studying the arts.

I have studied with Maha Guru McCleary since 2004 and still have my mind blown each and every class! I spent years trying out different martial arts schools and styles and was never satisfied until I found The Edge. This is authentic, real-world self-defense training unlike anything you've seen before. Try one class with us and you'll be convinced!
