Aiki-Jujitsu Hapkido is great for standup or ground
Ground fighting, according to Bouncer Groups (Security for bars) Fights rarely go to the ground, statistics state less than 20%.
They say it’s a myth! The only fight that goes to the ground is the fight where you are usually hit from behind, then after you fall they pounce on you to hit and kick you into submission.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I try out Ankeny Martial Arts to see if it’s the right fit for me?
We feel it’s important that you get a hands-on experience in class so that you can assess not just what we teach but how we teach it.
Our Trial Course also gives us a chance to make sure you’re a good fit and not a risk for abusing the seriously effective skills you learn in class.
What purchases are required?
While students don’t wear the traditional Japanese karate kimono aka the gi, they do wear gi pants, their colored belt, and a school t-shirt. When you earn your orange belt, you’ll need to get officially approved sparring equipment.
Is there a family discount?
We have lots of families that train together, so YES, we have discounted family programs.
I've never really been that athletic.
The beauty of our school is that almost everyone starts as an out-of-shape white belt. So, you don’t have to be in shape or highly coordinated. As you advance in rank, you’ll get in better shape following a proven, safe program that is focused on bringing you along, building your skill and getting you in shape.
Why is Ankeny Martial Arts a great alternative to the gym?
Because you push both your body and mind during class, in a social environment where your peers are supporting you, you have a built-in community of like-minded people who will help you meet your goals.
How much does it cost?
Our tuition varies depending on the program you choose. We have programs that range from a one-day self-defense seminar to programs that cover all the way from white belt to black belt and everything in between. We’ll see what program is best for you after your first free trial lesson.
