Integrated Martial Arts
Club

Welcome

Welcome to the home page of the Dartmouth Integrated Martial Arts Club. This page is an introduction for people interested in the club, as well as a resource for club members. Please see the our Class Schedule for a listing of class locations and times.

About the Club

As a Straight Blast Gym Affiliated Training Group, we seek to give a balanced self-defense skill set to our members by embracing "aliveness" (defined as movement, timing and appropriate progressive resistance) as a training philosophy. Our curriculum includes training in striking, clinch, and ground work.

The club is charged with bringing high quality martial arts instruction to Dartmouth Students, Grad Students, Faculty and family members as well as to members of the local community. Classes are open to anyone 13 years of age or older. All experience and ability levels are welcome.

The only charge associated with membership in the club and instruction for Dartmouth College students, staff, faculty and their families is $40 per term to support the club. Should club dues constitute a hardship, please see the instructor and alternate arrangements can certainly be made. Personal equipment (including uniforms) is at the cost of the individual.

PE credit is available to any Dartmouth student who meets the minimum time requirement set by the athletic department (approximately 16 hours). There is no attendance requirement for those not opting for PE credit, though we recommend that all students try to attend at least two classes per week in order to make significant progress.

Inclusivity Statement

Class is open to anyone 13 years of age or older who wishes to participate. Any member of the Dartmouth community is welcome regardless of ability level, actual or perceived gender identity and/or sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation (or lack thereof), or sex.
