AIMS Martial Arts

Although I had no prior experience or training in martial arts, Sifu Yeydy and Sihing Aleks skillfully leveraged my strengths to make the training process both approachable and enjoyable. Their warm welcome, patience, and constant encouragement, combined with innovative training techniques, made each class something to look forward to. I particularly appreciated their ability to cultivate a safe and inclusive space for everyone, regardless of background or identity. Thanks to their unwavering support, I not only grew more confident in my martial arts skills but also in my everyday life. I highly encourage anyone, even if it entails stepping out of your comfort zone, to attend at least one class.

The Academy of Integrated Martial Systems (AIMS) has truly been a life-changing experience for me. As someone who is on the larger side, I was initially unsure if martial arts would be accessible or beneficial, but AIMS has shattered all those doubts. The diverse range of disciplines offered—Boxing, Kickboxing, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Silat, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and more—has not only broadened my skill set but also reshaped my body and mindset. The coaching staff is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in each student’s growth, regardless of size or experience. They teach that regardless of your skillset, the only truth is in how you move and they truly live by those words! Beyond the physical transformation, AIMS has provided me with a strong sense of community where I feel encouraged to push past my limits and achieve goals I never thought possible. My movement has become more fluid, my confidence has skyrocketed, and my mental resilience has strengthened. AIMS is more than just a gym; it’s a place where you can redefine yourself, both physically and mentally.

“STOP THINKING, KING!” is the instruction I get a lot.
Rest assured every instruction is delivered with love and desire for growth at Academy of Integrated Martial Systems (AIMS).
If you are like me, want to be PRESENT and outside your head, and have super tight hips yet want to move well and naturally, AIMS is right for you.
I’m in my 40s so I want to avoid injuries while getting into the best shape of my life. Sifu Yeydey, Aleks, and Chuck take extra care to understand you and your body’s strengths and limitations. This place is for all ages, sizes, and levels. Be warned though, if you want 45 minutes of repeatedly kicking and punching a bag, AIMS may not be for you. But if you want to develop your body, mind, and soul (plus a killer JKD Jao Sao or Muy Thai cut kick with precision and technique), come check it out!
P.S. the students are super cool. Our whole class just attended a seminar by Dan Inosanto’s (Bruce Lee’s friend/Martial Arts Instructor and 88 years old!), followed by food and drinks. It’s truly a welcoming and fun community here:)
