Our Programs

The Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program at KT Academy is designed with both beginner and advanced practitioners in mind. It focuses on establishing a strong base, sound technique, and superior conditioning as these aspects are paramount to increasing skill and ability. From there, student's progress to more advanced movements, holds, chokes, and submission techniques as determined by their level of skill, commitment, and physical readiness in the sport.

KT Academy offers kickboxing/ boxing (Level 1) classes that focus on building proper striking technique, striking combinations, self-defense and physical conditioning.

Adult MuayThai/ Kickboxing (Level 2)

The level 2 Muay Thai/ kickboxing classes at KT Academy continue to build on proper technique and physical conditioning. These classes are for an intermediate to advanced skill level and those looking to compete in amateur/ professional MMA, boxing, kickboxing competitions.

KT Academy offers many private and semi-private lessons or workouts at mutually convenient times and rates. Discuss these options with Head Coach Walter Cotito if you are looking to lose weight or become physically fit, have a personal goal in mind, are not ready for a group class, or have concerns about the current pandemic and want a low risk way to still train, get in shape, and be active.

Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

The Youth Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program at KT Academy is similar to the adult program in that it focuses on developing a strong base, precise technique, and physical conditioning. Furthermore, this program incorporates instruction on personal responsibility, respect, and a broader wholistic perspective of caring for one's body, self, and mind through good eating, sleeping, study, and physical habits.

Youth MMA Striking

The Youth MMA Striking class at KT Academy focuses on building technically correct striking skills from an array of martial arts including boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, and competitive MMA. As students progress, they will learn striking combinations, how to defend themselves, hold mitts for their teammates, and strength and conditioning for full body control. We believe that by giving youth the skills and discipline needed to defend themselves, they will exude confidence, strength, and control in all situations.
