About Us
More Than
A Gym
Our Story
Tier 1 Martial Arts was born from a shared passion between two of the area's most experienced martial artists — Phil Norman and Woody White. Together they created a space where elite-level training meets genuine warmth and inclusion.
Our academy offers a diverse range of martial arts disciplines, from the striking power of Thai Boxing and Boxing, to the ground mastery of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, the weapons artistry of Filipino Kali, and our own award-winning Ghost Elusive Combat system.
We believe martial arts have the power to transform lives. Beyond the physical benefits, our members discover confidence, discipline, mental resilience, and a supportive community that becomes family.
Whether you're a complete beginner taking your first step, or a seasoned martial artist looking for the next challenge, Tier 1 is your home.
