Who We are:
Versatile Fighting Arts
WHO WE ARE:
Versatile Fighting Arts trains its students to be prepared to protect themselves if need be in the street and also in the development of an in-depth martial art.
Our focus is on concepts and principles as well as techniques and applications enabling the student to gain a deeper understanding of the art, its execution and personal expression.
The goal of Versatile Fighting Arts is to equip the student with skills and abilities that will enable the individual to defend and protect against harm from others while at the same time developing the spirit, mind and body.
We focus on both the internal and the external aspects of martial arts in order to develop the entire person. A calm mind and peaceful spirit are better able to utilize the options that are at his or her disposal than an agitated and restless mind. Additionally, focus allows one to be in the present moment and bring all of their energies to bear to greatly enhance their abilities. All aspects of the person are developed together so that the spirit, mind and body work together.
Versatile Fighting Arts is not an MMA school. Our name is meant to emphasize the fighting spirit and skills of the warrior who rises to the occasion and meets all challenges with integrity, respect, courage and honor. Students are not required to spar with anyone though we do believe in building our training so that the individual is confident in the skills they possess.

FAQs
Do you have a children's program?
No, given the nature of our training, our students are teenaged and older.
Are their levels and tests?
Yes. We do believe that students should be tested and should show a proficiency for their level of development. Not all of our students are interested in going through the whole program - some are interested in using our art to help inform and improve their other arts- this is fine as well.
