Our Programs

We offer a variety of martial arts programs designed to cater to different age groups and skill levels. Each program is meticulously structured to ensure that our students learn and grow at their own pace while fostering a sense of camaraderie and community among our members.

Krav Maga

Krav Maga is renowned as the premier combat system, originating as the official fighting style of the IDF. It stands as a testament to unparalleled defense strategies against various forms of assault, including edged and impact weapons. By learning Krav Maga, you'll not only enhance your self-defense skills but also gain a newfound sense of confidence and self-assurance. Our expert instructors will guide you through the journey of mastering this potent martial art.

Our Junior Muay Thai program is specifically designed for teens aged 14 to 17. It provides a perfect outlet for their boundless energy, engaging them in enriching activities while honing essential motor skills. We understand the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for our young students, and our instructors are dedicated to nurturing their growth and development.

Muay Thai

Our Muay Thai program is not just for aspiring fighters; it's designed for individuals committed to unlocking their full potential daily. Transform your physique, gain strength, and sculpt your body into a powerhouse, guided by seasoned mentors within a secure, organized training environment.

Why Providence Chooses Burke's Martial Arts

At Burke's Martial Arts, we're committed to creating an environment that promotes growth, learning, and camaraderie among our members. We understand the importance of real family schedules, which is why we offer convenient class times that cater to teens, adults, and whole families.

Our positive atmosphere is contagious, and you'll know without a doubt that you're in a place where teens will learn positive habits and adults will make meaningful, lasting friendships. Our instructors are dedicated to fostering a sense of community among our members, encouraging them to support and motivate each other as they progress on their martial arts journey.

Values-Oriented

All of our programs improve physical prowess, and that's important. But what's far more important is the mental and emotional benefits that our programs bring to everyday life. We believe that martial arts training not only enhances physical skills but also promotes mental health, self-discipline, and personal growth.

Movement-Based

Both teens and adults will gain flexibility, agility, and strength, even if they aren't athletic! They'll love it, because it's not only super fun, it's inclusive and accommodating at every step.

Real People, Real Results

At Burke's Martial Arts, we believe in creating programs that cater to real people. Our classes were designed specifically for the average person. You'll build skills step by step, without having to be a superstar to see improvement. But stick with it, and you'll see your abilities soar!

Community

You'll be surrounded by peers striving towards the same goals you are, day in, day out. You'll build friendships and be supported in your individual journey.

Mental Health

We've always known it, but now the science agrees: You must take time for your own mental health. Our classes help you clear your mind, accomplish your goals, and be more healthy, from the inside out.

Physical Skills

It's more than just learning awesome looking moves - it's proprioception, balance, agility and more - physical skills that will remain with and benefit you for the rest of your life.

Testimonials

We're proud of the feedback we receive from our members, who have experienced the transformative power of martial arts firsthand. Here's a sample of the real feedback we get regularly:

"Dale Brannigan: I've been at Burke's for 9 months. It has been one of the best, most self-improving experiences I have had. The instructors are great, the students are fantastic, and the atmosphere is diverse and accepting of everyone. The classes are intense, I lost 30 lbs in 4 months going twice a week! Every single person in the school is respectful of others and willing to listen as well as teach. Burke's is a great place to learn how to push your own limits in a safe environment. The school is always clean and well equipped."

"Adetoyese Adewuyi: Great and fun gets your adrenaline pumping! Also intense training for martial arts and self-defense, definitely leads to your goals for great health and fitness. If you're wanting to get a good intense workout or learn some martial arts too definitely a place to be! Great vibes, hard training, and fun!"

"Robert Johnson: Burke's Martial Arts is a top tier martial arts school built for both beginner and advanced students. It is the perfect place to train, learn, and expand your skills in Muay Thai. Kru Burke is professional and attentive to ensure his students perform the proper technique and apply it in the appropriate situation. This is a great school to both get in shape and hone your skills. With new knowledge and better technique, Burke's has definitely brought me to the next level of my martial arts journey. It was a few good years spent but unfortunately had to move on due to career and life obligations. Hoping to at least be able to drop in here and there."
