Team EDGE Dominates in the Cage! Rios and Cugliari Win by Submission Congratulations to Team EDGE's Justin Rios and Mark Cugliari on their dominating wins in the Cage at the WKU Warrior Challenge on Friday, June 26TH. Justin defeated his opponent in the 1ST round via an armbar after controlling him for the entire round with a triangle choke locked in tight. Mark took his opponent down and held him in side control while delivering knees to the body. The second round started in the same position and as he attempted to get up Mark slapped an anaconda choke on and took him back down and finished him with the spinning anaconda (Mr. Raciti's favorite move). A large force of The EDGE family of students and friends made the trip from NJ and were loud and proud in the house cheering our guys on their way to victory. Our PA support was there in force as well since both fighters have been training in the Brodheadsville Academy with the help of the fighters there. Team EDGE fighters were sponsored by MY HOUSE Fightwear. Look for MY HOUSE Fightwear in the new pro shop next week!

The EDGE will be moving from our temporary 2ND Floor location on July 6TH to our NEW 8,000SQ. FT Super Facility located on the lower level in the same building! More classes, fitness classes, multiple mat areas, more heavy bags, speed and power equipment, weight area...and an OCTAGON!!

At The EDGE Ultimate Martial Arts we like
to keep things real and keep them simple.

The EDGE Ultimate Martial Arts is unique because of our total commitment to the excellence of our students. What makes our training environment world class is our quality teaching staff, our proven training methods, and the friendly supportive training atmosphere you'll find at The EDGE. All of these dynamic elements come together to make The EDGE Ultimate Martial Arts a refreshing approach to self-defense, fight training, and total body conditioning.

At the EDGE Ultimate Martial Arts, we are not concerned with what was, but with what works. You will find our training programs stream-lined, practical, and most importantly, effective. We don't spend time on ineffective techniques, or martial arts pageantry like board breaking or forms (Kata’s). We are concerned with giving our students the best training available because we know that a false sense of confidence will always betray you in an actual time of need.

All of our instructors from Senior Instructor Richard Raciti on down still train, learn, and improve on a daily basis. When we find a better training method or approach, we adapt it and change for the better. Our flexible attitude and willingness to change and grow is what training at The EDGE is all about. You will find that all EDGE instructors have their own unique ways of teaching wether it be training in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Mixed Martial Arts or the EDGE's exclusive Sil Jun Do^R program. That dynamic allows each student to develop their own unique method and way based on their personal strengths. Training at The EDGE will unleash your true potential.

“I’ve been to a lot of different dojo’s and training facilities with instructors claiming to teach effective techniques, but not delivering the goods. Richard Raciti of ‘The Edge: Ultimate Martial Arts’ DELIVERS. He has a great facility and puts his students to the test. Whether you are training for competition or want to learn effective self defense techniques… ‘The Edge’ is where you want to be!
