Styles We Teach

We offer instruction in many different martial art styles, including mixed martial arts, traditional systems, and soft style arts.  We believe in helping students find and adapt the system of study most desirable to them.  By giving students both foundational and in-depth knowledge of the systems for which they desire, we provide them with the capability to make the art grow.  That is to say that we would like for our students to become more than the sum of their training.  With that approach in mind, we offer instruction in most of the primary and secondary systems of study.  Provided below are brief explanations of those systems.  Videos are included to show some visual examples of the styles.  The videos are from Youtube.  Some are solid examples, others are funny.  All, however, are from Youtube, and contain content and links that may not be appropriate and the links provided by Youtube may not represent the high standards of ethics and values we hold at Plus One.

If you are interested in Brazilian Jiujitsu, you may also visit our www.bjj.teamplusone.com site. The site contains instructional videos and blogs.  It’s extremely informative.  (The website was fashioned by Sonny Parlin.  Thanks Sonny!)

These systems of martial arts utilize the weight of an opponent against him/herself by means of anatomical knowledge and principles of leverage. Included in these arts are directed methods, intercepts, throwing techniques, constrictions, and joint locking.
