Our Philosophy

At The Edge Martial Arts, we believe that you can go from good to great by changing your mindset.

We know that a fit body and sharp mind go hand in hand for success. Drawing on research about the relationship between grit, a growth mindset and success, we teach students how to integrate the building blocks of courage, resilience, tenacity, self-discipline and integrity into both martial arts and life.

Resilience

The ability to respond to setbacks by considering what went wrong, trying again, investigating new approaches, and rebounding.

Self-Discipline

The ability to manage habits and mindset.

Courage

The willingness to take risks, face down fears and respond to challenges with a daring spirit.

Integrity

The willingness to honestly examine one’s strengths and weaknesses, and work to maximum capacity.
