Lyceum Martial Arts Group

Before Aristotle ever formalized his school of philosophy, the Lyceum in Athens was already a place of training. Soldiers drilled along its boundaries, athletes conditioned in its courtyards, and thinkers paced the shaded walkways in constant conversation. It was a landscape where movement, discipline, and inquiry naturally converged.

The Lyceum Martial Arts Group carries that spirit forward. We are a training space where martial artists, movers, and curious practitioners come together to study, explore, and refine their craft. We host a variety of groups, their systems, and instructors, creating a shared home that supports multiple traditions, methods, and perspectives under one roof.

At our core, we value thoughtful practice. Training here is driven by curiosity, personal pace, and meaningful engagement with the arts. Students and instructors alike contribute to the ongoing conversation through drills, free flow, and through the reflections that arise between rounds.

We aim to cultivate a space where people grow stronger in body, mind, and spirit, not through pressure or hierarchy, but through consistent practice and genuine exploration. Some come seeking movement, others seeking depth, others simply seeking a place to train and all those motivations have a place here.

If this way of training resonates with you, feel free to reach out. We're always open to a conversation about where to begin.

Anyone 16+ with an interest in refining, learning, or reconnecting with the arts.

Some students arrive with deep experience. Some return after years away. Some come with no background at all and a simple curiosity.

Whatever your starting point, we meet you there.

If you’re wondering whether you’d fit here, you will. Let’s talk about what brings you to training.

Training helps us develop skill and awareness, but it also teaches us to pay closer attention to ourselves. Through practice, we refine timing, breath, balance, patience, and the ability to meet challenge with a clearer mind.

For some, this work becomes athletic—building strength, endurance, and the confidence that comes from moving well. For others, it becomes a pathway into self-defense and practical capability. And for many, training becomes a steady, meaningful part of life: a space to reset, to focus, to grow, and to reconnect with the body.

Martial arts training can be demanding, playful, introspective, or energizing depending on the day, but it always reveals something worth noticing. In that way, the practice becomes its own teacher—shaping the way we move, think, and carry ourselves beyond the mat.

If something in this practice speaks to you, send a message. We'd love to hear what draws you to the arts.
