What Sets Us Apart From Other Portland Martial Arts Schools?

We’re not the only place you can go for MMA training in Portland OR, so you’re likely wondering what sets us apart and makes us the No. 1 destination in the area. A few ways that we stand apart from other martial arts schools in Portland OR include:

Our head instructor is a third-degree black belt in Jiu-Jitsu.
We provide a free personal lesson if this is your first time attending Portland martial arts schools.
If you join, the first 30 days are also free, and we provide the uniform at no cost to you.

Muay Thai Kickboxing
Dynamic in style, our Portland Muay Thai kickboxing classes teach you how to control the space around you using all eight of the body’s natural weapons. You will throw elbow and knee strikes — moves that are unexpected and devastating at close range. Thai fighters use kicks and punches to control the middle and long ranges. We use striking target pads to build you to a level of conditioning that leaves even marathoners in the dust.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
The great equalizer, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu became famous in the early days of the UFC.  Everyone watched, stunned, as Royce Gracie defeated all challengers. Some were expert strikers, and many were much larger and stronger opponents. Royce clearly showed the power of Jiu Jitsu, where strength loses to skill—our Portland, Oregon, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes are among our most popular for a reason.
Tai Chi
“Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.” – Sun Tzu. Tai Chi is an art of deeper awareness. NWFA’s Tai Chi classes teach our students how to move with perfect coordination. Learn to free yourself from the stress response and develop a strongly focused, present state of mind.
