Cornerstone is a Christian Based Martial Arts School
that Teaches Jiu-jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts
 





Philosophy of Teaching

The Instructors at Cornerstone Martial Arts are committed the ideal that the Martial Arts are to be used only for self-defence purposes. Their are therefore only 3 places and/or circumstances in which a Martial Artist is free to use what they have learned.

  •  1. In self-defence
  •  2. While training
  •  3. Organized Martial Arts    Tournaments/Competitions

The Martial Arts are not to be used to "show off" bully, or intimidate others or in any other way that is inconsistent with self-defence training or official Martial Arts competition.

  
"The Martial Arts are not for hurting someone else but rather to keep someone else from hurting you."
 

"If it is possible, as much as it depends on you, live peaceably with all men." Romans 12:18

Jiu-jitsu/Mixed Martial Arts
(NC's only Team Odyssey Affiliate School)
 
 
What is Jiu-jitsu/MMA?

Jiu-jitsu/MMA is a combat discipline in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used.
Jiu-jitsu/MMA incorporates training in the 3 phases of hand to hand combat.
These 3 phases are:

Mixed Martial Artists spend time training in all three of these phases of combat/compition.
Just as a modern military force must have an Army and Navy and an Air force to be effective, Mixed Martial Artists know that in order to be an effective Martial Artist one must be proficient in all three phases of combat.
 
We at Cornerstone MA understand that students come to the Martial Arts for numerous reasons beside self-defence i.e. Physical fitness, stress relief, development of confidence, increased discipline, focus etc. All these benefits are present in our Jiu-jitsu/MMA classes with a constant focus on a practical Martial Art.
 
Cornerstone is the only Team Odyssey Jiu-jitsu affiliate school in Central North Carolina. Our students can be sure that what they are learning is the best. For practitioners of Jiu-jitsu/MMA practicality and effectiveness of technique is of the highest priority.
