Power and Slow Flow Vinyasa Yoga are now available at the training center’s 1,500 square foot yoga center. Participants can drop-in and try the classes for $14 per class. Private classes are also available.
Yoga is a spiritual discipline that strives to attain a higher consciousness through a series of stretches and exercises designed to promote control of the body and mind. The goal for each practitioner is to attain a state of perfect spiritual insight and tranquility.
Vinyasa is a term that covers a broad range of yoga classes. The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement,” therefore, participants can expect more movement with stretching.
Slow Flow Vinyasa Yoga is a slower form of dynamic combination of strength, sweat and spirituality. It detoxifies, heals and electrifies with longer standing series and gentle floor stretching. This accessible, challenging and flowing form of yoga leads to a state of transformation. It sculpts, tones and hones the muscles of the body and mind. Power Vinyasa Yoga is a more dynamic combination of strength, sweat and spirituality, in addition to detoxifying and healing.
The United States Mixed Martial Arts Training Center, located on 316 Hartford Avenue in Bellingham, focuses on elevating the physical and spiritual well being of students through Mixed Martial Arts and Yoga. This is accomplished through a four-pronged approach to reality self-defense training centered in total body wellness.

A Career in the Martial Arts: From Student to Instructor
By: John Graden | 06/07/2009If you are a martial arts instructor today, odds are that you began teaching classes for your instructor shortly before or after you earned your black belt. You became a good teacher, but you were still under the control of your instructor, and you loyally taught and followed his syllabus.
The Golden Child of Martial Arts
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009In time, like me, many of you became the “golden child” of your martial arts school. You trained harder than anyone, and you were the best or one of the best students in the school.
The Rainbow of Rank
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009As a kid, you can’t choose your school, your parents, your city, your neighborhood, or much of anything else about your environment. You have no control and, when the situation is negative and intimidating, that debilitating feeling can stick with you for life. Martial arts changes all that. The rank system provides a direct path to respect that you control by training hard, following the rules, and enduring.
My Kung Fu is Better Than Yours
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009At some point while you were dutifully teaching classes for your instructor, I bet a few students and/or parents let you know that they preferred your classes to those of your instructor. At first, you thought they were just being polite, but then you began to notice things your instructor did that you would not do ‘if it were your school.’
Black Belt Scandals
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009Here in the Tampa Bay area – the 12th largest TV market in the U.S. – the local CBS TV affiliate did a three-part series called “Black Belt Scandals.” The series exposed a local instructor who had White-Out® on his rank certificate. You could see a 3 was replaced with a 7. He even had a fake chiropractor’s certificate on the wall.
The Core Dynamics of Starting a Martial Arts Business
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009When I created National Associations of Professional Martial Artists (NAPMA) in 1994, there was little useful information available to the industry as a whole. Owners were struggling because they simply didn’t know any way of running a martial arts business other than the system they had inherited from their instructor, which we know is usually a recipe for disaster.
What is a Martial Arts Professional?
By: John Graden | 05/07/2009When I created Martial Arts Professional magazine, I purposely put Martial Arts before Professional. In my view, the martial arts come first. Very few school owners are “professional” before they are martial artists.
