Welcome to Immortal Fitness Martial Arts, Voted San Diego Martial Arts School of the Year by the Asian World of Martial Arts.

What We Teach

We have traveled the globe and trained with the world’s elite teachers so we can bring you the best in all elements of martial arts.

For the striking element, the simplicity of San Shou kickboxing coupled with the sophistication of Mantis Boxing has proven to develop effective striking ability in a short amount of time while progressing towards complex trapping skills for real-life close quarter fighting.

For the grappling element, we teach shuai-chiao for immediate throwing ability, and taiji to enhance the efficacy of throwing techniques.

Lastly, the ground component: our ground fighting art is formulated from traditional Japanese Judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and is designed to keep the fight on your feet while providing you with the skills to prevail on the ground.

Training Methods

After diligent research and development, we have formulated the most effective means of transmitting the fighting arts in a straightforward, organized manner.

Athletic Development:

Athletic Development focuses on the athletic attributes of the martial arts technique.   By breaking down complex techniques into simple isolated movements, you can learn the technique while developing speed, power, agility, reflex, and quickness.

Technique P.R.I.M.E.R. (Principles, Reasoning, Indicators, Mechanical Efficiency, Results)

We thoroughly teach you the techniques by exploring the principles that make it work,  reasoning behind the techniques, indicators to tell you when to apply the techniques, mechanical efficiency for optimal power and energy conservation, and the results you get when you execute the techniques.

Micro-fight Simulations

There’s no better introduction to the realism of the techniques than to go through our simulated fight progressions.  This phase of training allows you to progress from simple to complex challenges that you will face when attempting to apply what you’ve learned.  Your training partner will first behave passively so you can acquire the timing and momentum of the technique.  Next, your partner will be resistive, enhancing the efficacy of your body mechanics.  Lastly, your partner will respond combatively so you can identify and rectify the potential dangers in the execution of your technique.

Intuitive Reflex-Eustress Zone Training (IREZT)

IREZ training is an opportunity to explore your skills in a safe and dynamic environment.  In IREZ training, you are presented with random indicators to assess the intuitive nature of your responses.  Any hiccups or hesitation in technique selection identifies the need for isolated training drills that are designed to develop your responses so that it becomes natural and instinctive.  The progressive nature also allows you to identify your positive combat stress zone; the emotional state where you perform at your best.  Too slow, and reflexes can become complacent.  Too intense, and performance deteriorates.  IREZT makes your Eustress zone apparent so that you can train yourself to reach your optimal performance zone at will.

Mind and Body Resilience Development
Violence and hostility can be stressful on both the mind and body.  At IFMA, we understand that people have unique levels of anxiety and sensitivity to contact.  Each student works at their own comfort level.  As a martial artist, you will learn to be indifferent to the perception of injury and assess the situation objectively. Throughout your training, physical contact progressions reduce the intrusive perception of physicality and provide objective damage assessment skills.  What this means is that you will be comfortable with contact and will learn to differentiate psychological discomfort from physical pain.  If you stand before a single enemy, and you oppose yourself, you’re already outnumbered.
