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!)

Muay Thai (Thai boxing)

Thai boxing, or Muay Thai, is the traditional art and national sport of Thailand.  A Muay Thai workout is very intense and aerobic.  Muay Thai involves boxing and kickboxing techniques.  Students also learn how to utilize knees and elbows.   Muay Thai is known for its effectiveness in the ring.  The style is very contact oriented, and workouts include the use of heavy bags, pads, and sparring.
