About TMA
The name Trinity is based upon the highest three. If you take all the Martial Arts in the world you can categorize them into three groups, Striking, Grappling, and Weapons. At Trinity Martial Arts the student will learn a foundation based belt ranking system that will progressively add more difficult techniques and mental requirements. The three styles the student will learn are Tae Kwon Do, Arnis, and Jiu Jitsu.
Tae Kwon Do
Tae Kwon Do comes from Korea. It is an ancient Martial Art which focuses on long, low stances and high kicks. The system is called Modern Chang Moo Kwan, (a clear path) an updated form of old Tae Kwon Do that can find its root before World War II; it has more hand techniques and longer lower stances then found in Tae Kwon Do today. Tae Kwon Do encorporates self-defense techniques by incorporating real life situations.
Arnis
Modern Arnis is an art from Grand Master Remy Presas a native Filipino who traveled around the Philippines and combined knowledge from all the islands the different styles of escrema, cane fighting, and at its highest levels short sword and knife fighting. This is a soft fluid art which is a great compliment to Tae Kwon Do, known as a hard and powerful art.
Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has become the fastest growing Martial Art thanks to the fighting shows on TV which is kind of ironic because the direct translation means the “soft art.” The fundamental belief of Jiu Jitsu is to win by not hurting your opponent with submissions. This art mostly focuses on how to protect yourself if you end up on the ground; this looks similar to wrestling but is much different.
Ever Expanding
The world of knowledge is ever expanding and so are we. Our goals are to stay up to date with the most current information of physical fitness science and mental development.
Jiu Jitsu
I studied under Professor Michael Simpson (BJJ Black Belt) from North Sound Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for around two years. The main thing that I noticed was everyone that came in wanted to do Jiu-Jitsu but I don't know if it is a guy thing but after one month through the grinder and being sore all the time after class, only 1 out of 40 would stay. Michael joking said its more like 1 out of a 100, or at least I think he was joking.
This school will be a great first step in Jiu-Jitsu. I am not a BJJ black belt but I can teach you the first two years from my experience from teaching the other arts. I want a place for the 39 people who thought getting beat up all the time was not for them to come and learn Jiu-Jitsu in a more tone down environment.
Jiu-Jitsu still is a tough sport even in a more tone down environment. It is still a great work out. It will most likely burn as many calories as the hardest work out you have ever done. It is great for core strength and knowing you can still be safe if you end up on the ground. The best way to see if this is for you is to come in and try a free class.
All great achievements start with the ability to try.
