Continuing The Mission

Opening a Franchise can be overwhelming.  But our passion for teaching at 2knucklesports and serving the community inspired our family to reach out and expand the mission of Improving Lives and Uniting Families.   

We believe in what we've learned at 2Knucklesports Headquarters and know that our family can help yours attain your goals for fitness, discipline, endurance and training in mixed martial arts.

Let our family introduce you to your new dojo family and reach goals you never thought you and your family could achieve!

At 2KnuckleSports MMA & Fitness, we practice the art of Nikidokai, founded by Hanshi Nico and built on the knowledge of five martial arts disciplines. This unique blend gives students a well-rounded foundation in striking, movement, self-defense, discipline, and personal growth.

Nikidokai is designed to meet students where they are, helping kids, teens, and adults build confidence, improve fitness, and develop practical skills in a supportive dojo environment.

The Art of 5 Disciplines

Nikidokai-PDF_edited.png

The art of Nikidokai was founded by Hanshi Nico. Based in the knowledge of 5 disciplines Nikidokai is as diverse as it is complex. Yet at its core its simplicity is rarely seen in the Martial Arts.

THE NAME

Nikidokai was given its name based on what the art represents as most all Martial Arts are given their names. The name is made up of mostly Japanese words, being that 4 of the 5 disciplines are Japanese and that the teachings are representative of what is known in Japan as Budo, (The Way of the Martial Arts.)

The Ni of Nikidokai first represents its founder, which is often customary. But this has a dual meaning and gives a great clue to the purpose of Nikidokai. Ni (in Japanese) also can mean 2 or dual/multiple. So translated can mean “The Multiple Ways in which Ki Participates.” And this is a very important meaning to understand. As students you should contemplate and meditate on this meaning.
