LOYAL TO THE TRIBE
Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, karate and MMA in the heart of Soldotna. The Kenai Peninsula's home for combat sports since 2010. Beginners, parents, competitors: there's a spot on the mat for you.
You'd never guess from the laid-back, family-friendly vibe that you're standing in the gym that pioneered combat sports on the Kenai Peninsula. Our mats are full of doctors, lawyers, oil field hands, fishing guides, law enforcement, parents and kids, all sharpening each other up one round at a time.
Our coaches still compete, and they've cornered 60+ wins in the cage, roughly 80% of them by KO or TKO. But you don't have to want a fight to belong here. Come for self-defense, for fitness, for something to do when the sun sets at 4 p.m. Stay for the people. Once you're in, you're family. Loyal to the Tribe.
