Hard work, consistency, competition, and community—these are the core values upheld at Olympus, whether you're a novice or a high-performance athlete. We are dedicated to nurturing world-class fighters, but every success story begins with a young kid unfamiliar with martial arts. Each of these kids is poised to be inspired, to cultivate a competitive spirit, and to embark on their martial arts journey.
As a gym, it is our commitment to ensure that our athletes remember their roots and contribute to the community. We prioritize the support and encouragement of those embarking on their martial arts journey for the first time at Olympus.
This doesn’t mean you have to want to become a world champion. The self-defense skills, confidence, and discipline acquired through martial arts training can carry forward and positively impact various aspects of life.
If you are looking for a place to make you feel good without stepping outside your comfort zone, this may not be the place for you. However, if you are willing to put it on the line and change your life, welcome!

BENEFITS OF TRAINING MARTIAL ARTS
PATIENCE
Martial Arts can be difficult to the point where it makes everything else in our daily life seem easy. But with great struggle there is great reward! You must be patient and fall in love with the process of learning new techniques and fixing the areas where you are weak. Mixed Martial Arts are a lifelong journey that will test you in many ways. Once you embark on your own journey, you must be patient with yourself and keep a positive mental attitude.
GET IN SHAPE
One of the biggest benefits you will notice with Mixed Martial Arts is how easy it is to lose weight and keep it off with consistent training. MMA will have you work every muscle in your body (including the ones you had no idea existed) so you will notice results immediately. Classes are very engaging and will keep your mind focused on learning new skills. This can be a much better alternative to running on a machine and staring at a screen for exercise.
CRITICAL THINKING
Throughout your Martial Arts training you will begin to notice an improvement in your ability to think through complex situations. For example, Jiu Jitsu is the equivalent to a game of human chess. We all start with the same number of pieces, so it is important to make every move count when trying to gain an advantage. The more experienced practitioners seem to have the ability to be two steps ahead and think their way through positions with little effort.
LEARN SELF-DEFENSE
Within your first class you will immediately realize how little the average person knows about self-defense and how ineffective our natural instincts are. The fundamentals of Mixed Martial Arts include many of the principles behind self-defense. You will learn how to close the distance effectively and maintain positions of control. The best way to achieve a high level of understanding and confidence is consistent training over a long period of time!
STRESS RELIEF
Martial Arts are commonly referred to as a form of therapy or meditation. During training you forget about your daily stresses and are engaged on the task in front of you… getting better! Whether it’s learning a new technique, catching a submission or simply trying to survive during sparring. There is no room for outside distractions during these situations and you will find the ability to become completely present.
COMPETITION
MMA competition is a thrilling journey that tests you both physically and mentally, pushing you to your limits and beyond. It fosters discipline, builds camaraderie, and fuels self-improvement. It's more than just winning; it's about pushing your limits, discovering your untapped potential, and striving for greatness. Embrace the challenge and let it propel you forward on your path to personal growth and achievement!
