HOW WE ROLL

OUR CULTURE

We don’t seek ‘customers’, but welcome like-minded people who share our passion for improving their well-being and safety. Here’s what we stand for:

  • Having Fun (type I and II) 😅
  • Health & Longevity
  • Working hard
  • Courtesy & Respect
  • Inclusiveness
  • Being Assertive

Our classes are non-competitive and supportive by nature and free from ‘tough person’ personalities. We encourage our students to simply: train hard, be smart, have fun, and not take oneself too seriously. 👊

GUIDING PRINCIPLES

TRAINING PHILOSOPHY

We believe that training should be both fun and practical. Our curricula and programs were carefully designed to seamlessly integrate with each other.

Our core principles include:

  • Don't get hurt
  • Utility
  • Simplicity
  • Efficiency
  • Principle-driven
  • Aliveness

Through these principles, we empower students to progress faster and retain their skills under pressure.
