      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our Mission Statement MK Martial Arts is dedicated to sharing the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in its most pure form; based in self-defense techniques developed by the late Helio &amp; Carlos Gracie nearly a century ago. Their concepts can be applied by the smaller, weaker and less athletic of men and women in a way so affective that they can overpower the bigger and stronger aggressor. These teachings have been proven over decades and decades of challenges from what was thought of as more traditional forms of martial art. No mixed martial artist is complete without a comprehensive understand of the striking arts. Our Kickboxing curriculum is designed to give you the tools to stop an attack before it reaches the ground. We welcome all participants willing to dive into our world of Martial Arts, and in doing so become happier, healthier and clearer minded than they have ever been before.</image:caption>
