Form x Function

It only makes sense that your time spent learning Karate x Boxing must translate to skills that you can actually use.

At LHA, there's no senseless memorization of forms, nor do we drill movements that never amount to any practical function.

In doing this, we don't deconstruct nor modify preexisting styles/ systems.
Rather, we provide our coaches of diverse backgrounds with a platform to fully express their respective expertise through specially-designed programs.

These programs are rooted in building strong fundamentals, adhering to Principles-based Training as a core approach to teaching.
This way, you have a solid foundation to enjoy martial arts safely for a lifetime,
With lesser time needed to learn a new skill and apply it in a dynamic environment.

Whether you're an experienced practitioner, or someone who've never thrown a punch in your life,
Reignite your personal vigor, Reclaim your body, and Realize what you can do when you
