Welcome Home; Welcome to 3rd Space.
You’re probably here because you searched for martial arts classes, but what you’ve found is so much more. 3rd Space is more than just martial arts training. For our members,
3rd Space is our second home.
There is some great information on this page, but the best way to really understand our club is to set up a visit. So if you would like to just skip to the good part:
Our Mission: Building Community Through Martial Arts
In our modern society we have a crisis of belonging. Our traditional spaces aren’t serving us anymore and we find ourselves without a personal community. We seek connection more and more through our digital spaces. This modern life is isolating and lonely. Our social media feed cannot replace the joy of in-person friendships and a community of people that truly care about us.
Martial arts is ulitmately a tool to help us work on ourselves and become who we want to be. We have true love and passion for martial arts at 3rd Space and we know that this shared passion is a great foundation to build a strong and supportive community.
The Benefits of All Martial Arts
Whether for youth or adults, consistent martial arts practice provides numerous benefits. Time and time again we have seen the power of martial arts to transform people’s lives.
Health
Martial arts improves and maintains every aspect of your physical health and consistent physical exercise has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, and combat depression.
Focus and Confidence
Martial arts helps to sharpen your mind. Through the practice you learn to focus through challenges and gain confidence in your ability to succeed. This drives personal confidence both in and outside the school.
Joy and Fulfillment
When it’s done right, martial arts are an incredibly fun and engaging experience. There are very few hobbies or sports that can bring you so many opportunities to challenge yourself, grow, and have fun.
Why 3rd Space?
Martial arts are an incredibly fulfilling practice, but it’s critical to choose the right place for you! Every martial arts school has its own character with its own mix of strengths and weaknesses. The members of 3rd Space have trained in every common type of school and we designed and built 3rd Space to be the best kind of school that we could imagine.
People, Not Profits
3rd Space is a private martial arts club, not a corporate business. Our tuition is set at a minimum amount based on the number of members and the expenses of running the club. Members of the club are given insight and input into how the club spends its money and how we choose to set the tuition rate.
Access, not Exclusion
We like to say that “3rd Space is your 2nd home” and we mean it. Our members have full 24-hour access to the club and can use it at any time. But it’s not just some 24-hour gym. The club is a social space. We encourage our members to gather, connect, relax and really make themsleves at home.
Community, not Commodity
At 3rd Space you’re never going to be dumped into a class of 50 strangers. We are focused on building a tight-knit community. We limit our program sizes to no more than 10-15 students so you will always have dedicated hands-on instruction and build close relationships with your teachers and your training partners.
Our Commitment to Quality
Everything we have built at 3rd Space is designed to high standards of quality. We have built a wonderful training space with ample quality equipment, we bring together a great mix of programs led by caring and attentive instructors, and we maintain this quality together. 3rd Space is OUR club, and all of our members work together to make it everything we want it to be.
What Our Members Say
“Martial arts gave me the confidence to take up space. My voice and well-being matters. I continue to study for clarity of mind and to remind myself to be present in the moment.”
Tiffany H.
Student since 2016.
“Everyone needs a home away from home in both place and people. There have been some nights where I pick up a pizza and a 2 liter, go to the dojo early to get some extra sword practice, and then share my dinner with my extended family.”
Ryan I.
Student since 2017.
“We have forged lasting friendships that have enriched all our lives and never in my wildest dreams did I think, searching for the perfect place where our son could attend class, that we would find ‘home’ in the process.”
Haley S.
Parent and member since 2023.
“3rd space martial arts presented me the opportunity to learn traditional kenjutsu years ago. I have been with the school for 17 years now. It has a great atmosphere and is a wonderful place to train. Come learn with us.”
