One, Two, Punch! at Significant Strikes

Jan. 3, 2026

Significant Strikes in Traverse City is starting the year off with a high kick. Three of their most popular classes—Boxing Fundamentals, Jiu-Jitsu Fundamentals, and Kickboxing Fundamentals—are opening up with weekly classes for beginners. No experience or equipment is necessary; as the organizers say, “just bring your energy and curiosity!” Best of all, your first class is always free. From there, memberships range from drop-ins ($20/day), to punch cards, to unlimited monthly classes ($150). Students and active duty officers get a major discount. There is also a Women Only Jiu-Jitsu class on Sundays from 2-3pm so you can “train in a safe, supportive, women-focused environment.” Find the full class schedule and learn more about each discipline by visiting significantstrikes.com/new-members. Then, head to the gym at 2780 Cass Rd. in Traverse City.
