New Academy

Our new academy is now open in Redding! This is an exciting time for the members of Axis Academy as we are growing and expanding to fulfill our vision of spreading Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai to the people of the North State. We are blessed to have everything we have and I continue to believe in the impact that Axis makes in people's lives. I am amazed and thankful each day for the people who give so much to ensure that we continue to move forward. There are many people that work super hard to make sure that we have a place to train and people to train with. Our students show up consistently to train and this benefits the team immensely.
Although our core values remain the same, you will notice some changes at the new academy. You will see some rules on the wall, extended hours, new faces, new ventures. I am not scared of change and you should not be either. The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality does not work for me. As people and as organizations, we must constantly sharpen ourselves, reinvent our methods, and progress in the execution of our plans. If we don't change, then we are stagnant and eventually die. While we continue to keep our core values of hard work, dedication, commitment, and integrity alive, we find and develop better and more innovative ways of exercising these values. The most difficult thing for people to accept is change...I hope you join, accept, and support the changes and embrace these coming days as the strong history we will forge together as a team.
It seems that every success is followed by trial and fire. This is good as it tests the will of those pushing forward. While I am sure that most are happy and excited about the future of Axis, there are many who would love to see it fail. This does not deter us..It strengthens us. It gives me resolve to lead this pack and to make sure that each student is fulfilling the goals that they have set for themselves....Our mission is people - Our method is Jiu-Jitsu. If we all carry the same mission of improving people's lives, then our method will become better and stronger.
