WELCOME TO THE ORIGINAL! The place that started it all. Our instructors have been involved for over 35 years and teaching more than 25 years in the Roanoke Valley. We have a 25 year head start in teaching. With more than a dozen Brazilian jiu jitsu black belts here at any time, the valleys original Muay Thai kickboxing program, and the areas oldest Judo program, HYBRID has everything you need, and it's all under 1 roof!
These are the most respected and proven martial arts in the world. They're all available here, with the highest ranking, and in most cases, only certified instructors in the valley.
The popularity of the UFC & MMA has taken the world by storm. Thus, it has exposed what works and what doesn't in martial arts.
We don't break boards, do kata's, or use impractical weapons.
Those are not bad things, it's just not what we do. We understand that you need to get in, learn how to functionally defend yourself, get a great workout and get back to your busy life. We offer classes for self-defense, fitness, or competition. Classes average 18-20 people to give you a serious challenge yet also keep you from being a number. With several blackbelts present each class, they'll help guide you along the way.
Most importantly, the owners are the primary instructors. This means they have a genuine interest in your performance and growth. These instructors have competed, and won, at every rank all the way to blackbelt invitational events which ensures you're getting a proven product.
