HOUSE OF EIGHT LIMBS - OUR INTRODUCTION
Our Introduction to House of Eight Limbs can best be described by two words...Relentless Dedication. In the beginning, House of Eight Limbs or H8L for short was built upon two principles: #1. The people come first. Family, Friends, Fighters, etc. Without the people this house could never have been built. No matter your walk of life everyone is welcome and will be treated as such. #2. Provide the best level of quality instruction to all. No matter your experience level from the elite pro fighter to the novice of novices. H8L strives to build a solid foundation through progressive and residual learning. Nothing beats the basics. H8L prides itself on having the mentality and understanding that once the house is entered we are here to "train with and alongside you rather than train on you."
WHAT DEFINES US
We are the believers in a dream, who built H8L on are own dime, just for the opportunity to train, to compete and to provide quality instruction in a fun and safe atmosphere. We are defined by our ability to adapt to the needs and wants of our clientele. We are also defined by our belief structure in which: There is no hierarchy or top of the food chain mentalities here. Whether you're here for fitness, fun or fight competitions we are all one and train as one.
WHAT WE WILL NEVER BE
We will never be driven by politics and hierarchies. We will never be commercial, allowing our judgement to be clouded in favor of the dollar. We will never be driven by rank and/or status. We will never be without integrity, honor, discipline, structure and respect
Welcome to the House of Eight Limbs,
H8L,
"The house that hard work built"
