Elevated Martial Arts

About

From the inception of Elevated Martial Arts, our mission as a locally-owned business has always been about building a martial arts community in Bayfield. We ensure students know they are in a safe and family-friendly environment. Our professional and personable coaches provide up-to-date training while instilling students with discipline and life skills through martial arts. As living costs rise, we keep our membership costs as low as possible. We see the value in giving back to our community by assisting people to become mentally and physically stronger through Jiu-Jitsu and other martial arts classes. Students not only improve self-defense skills, but gain a sense of community through social events. We look forward to you joining us at Elevated Martial Arts!

History

Elevated Martial Arts has persevered to become a part of the Bayfield community. Bayfield native and owner, Forrest Allen, originally opened in 2019 as Elevated Jiu-Jitsu. Since re-establishing as Elevated Martial Arts in 2021, we’ve continued to pursue the goal of creating the premier academy to train Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts in the area.

Before starting Jiu-Jitsu, Forrest had no idea how martial arts would change his life, but once he tried Jiu-Jitsu for the first time, he was hooked. The first several classes were a humbling experience, and he soon realized the benefits of continuing training. He learned that he could become stronger, wiser and an all-around better person through Jiu-Jitsu. Now, as a black belt teaching in his own academy, Forrest’s focus is now completely dedicated to sharing his knowledge with others in order to help students realize their full potential. Forrest began training Jiu-Jitsu in 2009 which has proven to be the most rewarding decision he has ever made, and his proudest achievement was earning his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt in December 2017. His goal is to grow martial arts in Bayfield, his hometown, which has lacked its presence, and help people become their best selves both on and off the mat.

Kids Jiu-Jitsu

We place a heavy emphasis on fundamentals in our Kids’ Jiu-Jitsu classes. Students develop their balance, coordination, and athleticism while building confidence, respect, discipline, and self-control. The kids are provided an all-encompassing experience that will further their development into their teenage years.

Teen and Adult Jiu-Jitsu

Our teen and adult Jiu-Jitsu classes bring in a new lifestyle for students. Not only will they become self-defense oriented, but they will grow in all aspects of life. The program builds upon the lessons from kids Jiu-Jitsu, allowing students to exercise while gaining more life skills to use both on and off the mat.

Boxing

Boxing classes at Elevated Jiu-Jitsu are circuit-based. We hone in on movement, focus, and good form for students to break a good sweat. The program has all types of athletes, from beginners looking for a fun way to exercise, to those that are more interested in competitive Boxing, Kickboxing or MMA.

Kickboxing

Our Kickboxing classes are similar to our Boxing classes. They are circuit-based and heavily emphasize exercise. Nevertheless, with the wide range of skills taught, more of our students work on their fighting skills and want to expand their martial arts arsenal.
