Traditional Karate
Our Traditional Karate program develops discipline and self-defense skills through Okinawan techniques. Students learn striking methods using punches, kicks, and knee strikes while cultivating mental focus and leadership qualities. The curriculum includes kata forms and sparring practice in a supportive environment for all skill levels.
Muay Thai
Pollet's Muay Thai classes teach the 'Art of Eight Limbs' using techniques from Grand Master Toddy's Las Vegas academy. Training includes clinch work, elbow/knee strikes, and conditioning drills that build cardiovascular fitness and combat effectiveness. Students benefit from methods that have produced over 40 world champions.
Kempo Jiu Jitsu
This grappling-focused discipline teaches defensive maneuvers for ground fighting situations. Our 8th Dan instructor leads classes that develop core strength and practical techniques for escaping dangerous positions. The program emphasizes leverage-based methods that enable smaller practitioners to defend against larger opponents effectively.
Kids Martial Arts
Our youth programs for ages 2-12 combine physical development with character building. The curriculum improves coordination, memory retention, and confidence through age-appropriate karate, jiu jitsu, and boxing techniques. Special Little Tigers classes introduce foundational martial arts concepts in a safe, engaging environment.

Great Dojo run by a very courteous and accommodating family. My kiddo has been learning here for a year now, and Ill continue bringing him here for years. His private and group lessons are helping him improve his focus, fitness, discipline, commitment, and coordination. I was so happy that I also joined training recently and have been humbled by how the trainers eased me into something Ive never done and was quite anxious about. The option to join training when we can fits nicely into our ever changing schedule. So happy that we found this Dojo and very grateful to the trainers.

They focus on discipline and for my little girl they have given lots of time to settle on her classes. Now she really likes the sessions and tries her best to get sparkling stickers. Great team and very cooperative Senseis and staffs.

The students are usually hard to keep engaged but Pollet's kept them engaged for 1.5hrs with new skills, drills and physical activity. They were also big on positivity, self control and attitude. Constantly reinforcing that the skills learnt were for use in the gym and self defence only. If the schools were closer I have
