Two programs share the mats here. The jiu jitsu side is an affiliate school of Marcelo Alonso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, run by owner Prof. Kyle Mitchell, an active competitor and longtime member of Marcelo Alonso Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The striking side is Srisuk Muay Thai, led by Kru Saohin Srisuk, a former professional boxer and Muay Thai fighter who trained and taught at Tiger Muay Thai in Thailand, later became head striking coach for the Marcelo Alonso fight team, and teaches Muay Thai, Muay Boran, kickboxing and boxing.
Much of the jiu jitsu staff came up through the academy. Prof. Jimmy Williams is its first black belt to receive every belt there, Prof. Gerry Weir and Prof. Steve Davenport earned their black belts under it, and Prof. Bladden Bushaw has trained there since blue belt. The academy describes its jiu jitsu as a mix of “Old School” technique and newer ideas brought in by its active competitors, and says classes are open to every level, from beginners to professionals and from children to seniors.
Beginners start in the Fundamentals classes, which run in both arts: Fundamentals Jiu Jitsu (with a no-gi version on Tuesday) and Fundamentals Muay Thai, which between them run every evening from Monday to Thursday. Regular adult jiu jitsu runs in the gi on Monday and Thursday evenings, with Thursday given to situational sparring, and no-gi on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. A morning jiu jitsu class starts Tuesdays at 5:30 am, taught by Prof. Nick Ryan. On the Muay Thai side, Tuesday and Thursday evenings end with an advanced and sparring class. On Saturday mornings there's Fundamentals Jiu Jitsu and a Muay Thai class, followed by a jiu jitsu open mat. Kids train in their own jiu jitsu and Muay Thai classes from age 5.
The first step is a three-class trial: newcomers pick any three classes, and once it's bought they can come in without an appointment. Memberships cover either one art or unlimited training in both, a family plan covers households of up to five people, and the unlimited memberships include a Saturday morning yoga and mobility class. Active military, law enforcement, EMTs and firefighters get a discount.

Kid's Muay Thai meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
