Who We Are
Instead of just telling you about our incredible Water's Edge Martial Arts programs:
-
Jeet Kune Do
-
Kali/Escrima
-
Muay Thai
-
Silat
we thought we'd show you!
(Make sure you turn on the sound.)

Sifu Montell, Sifu Lisa, Sifu Hoang and Sifu Jason will make sure you not only get in your burpees and cardio but your mentality, form, technique and physicality will be improved every class, from the second you step onto those matts to the second you walk out of that door.

This is a great school. Excellent instructors.

The instructors and more senior students at Water's Edge are as kind and dedicated to helping you with your development as they are to their own. All of this adds up to a perfect culture of serious martial artists, who have fun while training, and will increase the skills of anyone who joins them.

Martial artists aren't born.
They're made.
We feel this in our bones. No one is born a martial artist. It takes training and dedication. And we have the skills and knowledge to aid you on your martial arts journey.
With a Great School Comes Great Perks!
