RETURN TO TOP

MUAYTHAI ("THAI BOXING") KICKBOXING - ALL LEVELS: The basis for the Duke Roufus Academy's Kickboxing program is the 700 year old national sport of Thailand, the powerful, yet beautiful, art of Muaythai ("Thai Boxing").

Not only is Muaythai considered one of the most effective combat sports in the world, it also provides it's students with a very safe, but exhausting workout like no other. Muaythai incorporates the use of feet, fists, shins, knees and elbows, combined in multifaceted combinations that produce fantastic results.

Properly done, the powerful Muaythai style shin kick asks it's user (you) to twist, pivot, turn and rotate various parts of your entire body. The Duke Roufus Academy's expert instructors know how to break each step down in specific detail that makes it easy for the beginner student to learn.

You'll sweat like you never have before after taking one of our exhilarating Kickboxing classes. This is the same workout the Pro and Amateur Kickboxers go through, now you can too - without the hard contact or sparring. The first class is on us so why not give it a try?

JIU-JITSU - ALL LEVELS: Jiu-Jitsu is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint-locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit.

The art was based on early 20th century Kodokan Judo, which was itself then a recently-developed system (founded in 1882), based on multiple schools (or Ryu) of Japanese Jiu-Jutsu.

It promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger opponent. Jiu-Jitsu can be trained for self defense, sport grappling and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition.

Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance, especially in competition.

The discipline of Jiu-Jitsu rose to world prominence in the inaugural Ultimate Fighting Championship when on November 12, 1993 Royce Gracie dominated all comers including Ken Shamrock as he went on to win the first UFC, thus establishing the art of Jiu-Jitsu and changing combat martial arts forever.

Duke Roufus Academy is proud to have UFC fighter Red Schafer as the school's Head Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling instructor. Red's Jiu-Jitsu teaching ability combined with his experience and overall expertise in the sport is a great compliment to the program. Red has over 120 grappling match victories and has trained with some of the world's best grapplers.

All aspects of stand-up and ground fighting, plus everything in between, are covered. Learn a multitude of ways to submit your opponent or defend yourself when the fight goes to the ground, while getting a fantastic physical and cardio workout, as well.

This is the same sport that has been featured on CNN.com, the cover of Sports Illustrated, showcased on 60 Minutes and popularized on SpikeTV, HDNet and Fox Sports Net through regular broadcasts of the UFC, Pride Fighting and the I.F.L.. If you have a passion for Mixed Martial Arts, turn your enthusiasm into a reality and start training with our MMA Team today.

MMA (MIXED MARTIAL ARTS) - ALL LEVELS: With origins dating back to the first Olympic games in ancient Greece when it was called Pankration, Duke Roufus Academy's Mixed Martial Arts ("MMA") program is a hybrid of Wrestling, Jiu-Jitsu, Muaythai Kickboxing and Boxing.

Duke Roufus Academy is proud to have UFC fighter Red Schafer as the school's Head Jiu-Jitsu and Grappling instructor. Red's submission grappling skills are the perfect compliment to the Duke Roufus system of stand-up fighting/kickboxing.

KIDS PROGRAM: Duke Roufus Academy offers 1 hour Mixed Martial Arts classes for children, ages 6 and up, on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays from 4:30-5:30 p.m..

Duke Roufus Academy Kids Classes consist of a blend of Muaythai Kickboxing, Boxing and Jiu-Jitsu/Grappling. Duke Roufus oversees the program, utilizing his 33 years of Martial Arts experience as the basis for the curriculum.

Duke Roufus Academy is proud to have UFC fighter Red Schafer as the school's Head Kid's Jiu-Jitsu Instructor. Red brings a wealth of submission grappling experience along with an firm, but easygoing manner to our successful children's Mixed Martial Arts program.

Children as young as 6 are invited to participate in the multi-level class structured lessons. Besides obtaining the most up-to-date and modern skills, the kids will reap the rewards of the ancient traditions and philosophies of Martial Arts.

The program is based on a "might for right" and "tolerance" philosophy that is instilled in each of the students for a lifetime. They are taught (adamantly) that these skills are only for self-defense outside of the club.

It's a tough world we live in, why not give your child the added advantage of having the ability to defend themselves. As well, the benefit of being physically fit, uniting the strength of body, mind and spirit.

Students will develop many important life building skills including respect, discipline, confidence, self-esteem, goal setting, patience, restraint, persistence, humility, honor and passion. Along with developing these core values, students will learn how to "not sweat the small things" while having fun and the time of their life.

As we always say, "The family that kicks together, sticks together."
