We Teach people
to be badass
Ready for your badass era ? We got you!
Badass eras don’t begin at home on a couch surrounded by chip crumbs binge watching Netflix.
Badass eras require some action. That’s why we are a gym, and we offer classes to learn to punch, kick, and grapple with other badass individuals.
Here’s how it works:
You come to class and work your ass off. You get sweaty. You get sore. You get tired. As you’re working, you will begin to realize who you are….
You’re a badass.
Best of all, everyone else will see you’re a badass, too. Talk abut unstoppable—that’s you.
What is Class like?
-
SInce we are a martial arts gym, our classses teach people how to punch, kick, and use elbows and knees to fight. In gym speak, this is known as boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai.
No matter what class you sign up for, we folllow the same class structure.
Our classes are based on rounds, or chunks of time. We have 3 minute work rounds followed by 30 second rest periods.
This is the structure we follow:
3 rounds of jump rope
3 rounds of shadow boxing—this is where you practice your punching or kicking skills in the air. Don’t worry, if you have never shadow boxed and don’t know how to do it, the coaches will walk you through it.
3 rounds of bag work—this is where you put on your gloves (yes, we have gloves you can use) and hit the bags. If you don’t know what you’re doing, the coaches will walk you through this one, too.)
Drilling—this where the coach gathers the class together and instructs the group in a new skill for the day. It could be a series of punches that you are putting together, how instruction about how you move your feet. The coach will demo move then give you time to practice. The coach also will make sure you have the move down. Each person in every class receives individual instruction tailored to your skill and ability.
1 round of abdominal exercises-each class ends with one round of an abdominal exercise. It could be crunches, leg lifts, sit ups…..you know the fun stuff.
Classes last 60 minutes total.

What we stand on
-
Picture a place where your badass self actually fits right in. At our martial arts hub, we're all about turning strangers into family and making our gym the heartbeat of the town. Mental health is so important, and in an increasingly isolated world, in person connections play a vital role. Friends like family--we’re here for it.
Equality is our mainstay. Age, race, size, who you love - none of that matters here. We're all in this together. Everyone has something to teach, and everyone has something to learn. There's always something to learn and share, and that's the magic of it.
Confidence is our superpower. Forget external rules - the real magic happens when you set your own standards. Martial arts isn't just kicks and punches; it's about discovering your inner strength and displaying it. No more hiding, no more shrinking to fit in. That’s badass, and that's where true freedom lies.
Every kid deserves a shot at following their passions. Martial arts isn't just about moves; it's a confidence-boosting, teamwork-building, discipline-instilling journey for the young ones. Let's empower the next generation, one kick at a time.

FAQs
-
You will only get punched in the face if you choose to spar. If you are at Equip Academy for fitness and to learn, there will be no punches to your person.
-
If you have gloves you can bring them, but we also have gloves you can use while you’re here.
Definitely bring a water bottle.
Expect to sweat, so you might want to bring a towel.
-
In order to protect the mats and our health, we don’t wear shoe in the gym. About half of us go barefoot, and half of us wear socks. If you have wrestling or boxing shoes that are only worn in the gym those are fine, too.
-
Wear what you feel comfortable in. Some of us wear workout gear, some of us wear shorts—it’s whatever you can move best in!
-
Yes! We can modify all exercises to me your needs. If you show up and do your best, you will make progress. Remember: your best does not look like anyone else’s best. It’s unique to you. Only compare yourself with you, never to anyone else. Your journey is unique to you.
-
Yes, all levels are welcome and encouraged.
-
Yes, you will actually learn skills that are effective in a situation should you need to defend yourself. This is actually what makes us different from the “big box” boxing gyms. They are a great place to get cardio, but they generally don’t teach skill that is applicable to fight situations. To put it bluntly, if you use their “techniques” in real life, you are likely to get knocked out. That’s what you need to know about us--we’re the real shit, not the fake shit.
