We are open despite COVID-19 -- those attending in person will need to sign a waiver of health and follow all state requirements, including wearing a mask.

# AniNIX Martial Arts

## Open-source, research-driven self-defense and personal health

AniNIX Martial Arts is a small martial arts collective focusing on research-driven martial arts. Our core style is USHF HapKiDo, but we are influenced by HEMA, Razmafzar, Kali, Shaolin, Silat, JKD, BJJ, and many other systems. We are a research-driven group -- we encourage cross-training with other systems and will bring in new concepts regularly. The class is open to all experience levels, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious or cultural identity, socioecomic status, or age (above 14), in Southcentral Wisconsin -- we will fit your training to your needs and goals.

Drop-ins are welcome, and registration is cheap. We hope you'll give us a chance to show you what we can do.

# Open-source

We want your training with our system to become a part of your life. This means that we provide access to a revision-controlled copy of our notes that all our students can download, keep, and contribute to. We're tired of the old era where how the system works is kept hidden from students and piecemealed out as a marketing ploy -- we want to be as trasparent as possible in how our program and our martial art function. Transparency keeps our instructors honest and our students engaged -- this means a better martial arts experience for everyone.

# Research-driven

Our system is always growing. We are a United States HapKiDo Federation (USHF) school, and that gives us access to high-quality instructors and seminar material each year from across the US. We also maintain good relationships with other schools in our area -- we want our students to examine what they're learing and make sure that it works, and that means looking at different perspectives.

# Low-cost

We are non-profit group -- we train because we feel like it makes life better, not to make money. As such, our costs are publicly documented and our rates match the same. Classes will be informed of potential changes to costs well in advance, and we use recurring payments. We want you thinking about your training, not how you're going to pay for it.

- Lessons:Mondays and Thursdays 7-8:30 p.m.
- Sparring: Mondays and Thursdays 6-7 p.m.
- Shaolin Workouts: Saturday mornings at 8 a.m. by livestream only
- Location: 225 Blaser Drive, Belleville, WI
- What to bring: Exercise clothes and water

# Real-life First

Everyone is welcome! Class attendance is not mandated and belt-testing is not required to train. As a courtesy, please inform the class of your absence or intended late arrival -- real-life comes first, and we're happy to work with your needs. As long as one person shows, we'll have class -- the smaller the class, the more tailored it is, but the bigger classes mean more partners and body types.

Our focus is also on what you will actually use. While we appreciate traditional and esoteric training for self-development, our weekly classes are focused on modern techniques and training methods so that you get the most out of your time. Our goal is to help create a community of prepared and healthy citizens, and we believe martial arts helps build that in a way no other activity can.

## Our storefront

AniNIX Martial Arts has to charge some fees in order to operate. We hope you find these reasonable -- we do our best to keep costs as low as possible and our budget is public. Please reach out on Discord or IRC if you have questions or concerns.

We really don't like talking about money -- we're here to help people learn, not make a buck. So, all of our class signups are recurring charges each month -- that way, we don't have to pester you. You're welcome to cancel at any time. To cancel, just contact us on any platform and an admin will take care of it for you.

Current students: Because our space is currently limited, please make sure to note which days and times you're coming on-site at the sign-up page.

# On-site classes

On-site classes are $10 a month, plus the minimal transaction fee -- you'll be charged automatically each month so you don't have to worry about it. These funds go to pay for insurance, HVAC, mats, cleaning supplies, etc. This subscription covers on-site training on any of our listed times and access to our livestream and media library.

Your first class with us is free -- please come try us out before you put any money down.

# Remote classes

Remote-only classes are available at $5/month for prior students. This gets you access to our livestream classes and our media library of prior classes. This helps offset the upkeep costs for our web hosting and offers some parity with our on-site students.

These are intended as a continuing-education option for students with background in martial arts who aren't able to attend classes in-person due to distance or schedule -- they are not a substitute for in-person training.

# T-Shirt

T-shirts are $25 each -- they're made of a light, breathable black fabric with our logo across the back. Please contact an administrator on Discord or Facebook with your size.

T-Shirts are limited quantity -- we currently have 2 Medium and 1 Small in stock. T-shirt runs are only done on class request for cost reasons.

# Patch

Patches are $5 -- they're meant to be sewn or ironed onto gis, gear bags, backpacks, etc. They're a great way to show off your loyalty to the group and pride in your hard work!
