Kids Academy
Meet Sensei Dash & The Mat Monsters
A disciplined, energetic honey badger who turns mat rules into superpowers. Dash teaches bully-proofing, laser focus, and BJJ fundamentals the way kids learn best — by loving it. The same values that make Border's kids program great transform every student in the gym.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
A wealth of benefits come from healthy self-confidence — from helping you manage fears to maintaining a positive mental attitude. There is no better way to build your confidence than with the martial arts.
Discipline & Self-Control
With self-discipline comes advanced focus, new-found respect, better health & fitness, and an easier time at work or school. The bedrock of martial arts is founded on teaching discipline and self-control.
Self-Defense
Learn to defend yourself in a variety of situations — whether life-threatening or facing a bully at school — and gain the confidence to use, or not use, these skills to keep you and your family safe.
New Friends & Mentors
Our team is dedicated to your success. Whether pushing you to your limits, being a friend in a time of need, or spending extra time on a technique you're struggling with — our community has your back.
