ABOUT OUR GYM
Started as a grassroots club in 2015, HKD Martial Arts LLC is now the premier martial arts destination in the Clearwater Valley.
We are firm believers in resistance based training, rather than scripted martial arts. We are proud to offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training ages 5 and up!
Our approach to BJJ is holistic. Rather than strictly sport or self-defense focus, we routinely blend the two concepts and encourage our students to experiment. There is a significant amount of overlap between the two.
We are deeply proud of the warm family culture our gym fosters and continues to develop. It's a rare day when students aren't laughing and smiling as they try to submit each other at HKD!
