Thank you for considering KOA Martial Arts as your martial arts and fitness training home. KOA Martial Arts is also known as just "KOA Team". “KOA” is Hawaiian for “warrior”; in Hawaiian, KOA can also mean brave, bold, or fearless. Professor Kelly chose the name KOA not only because of its meaning but also because of his past affiliation with Relson Gracie (Jiu Jitsu) in Hawaii. Additionally, when Professor Kelly was a Marine, he served with 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines (2/3) in Afghanistan; the Battalion’s call sign was KOA.
In honor of all of the warriors that have brought us the modern Brazilian Jiu Jitsu lifestyle, the Muay Thai 'Way', and in honor of the warriors of 2/3, our Stafford, VA team proudly carries the "KOA" name.
At KOA Team we strive to develop warriors. Warriors are responsible citizens who possess martial characteristics, constantly seek self-improvement, and seek to improve those around them, their community, and their society. Warriors lead by example and understand that one must commit to something greater than oneself.
We hope you choose KOA Team to start your BJJ, Muay Thai, Mixed Martial Arts, or fitness journey. If you are already part of the team, thank you for making KOA Team your home. Remember, there is no “endstate” when pursuing the martial way. It is akin to walking a path, not reaching a destination. “Enjoy the walk.”
Sincerely,
Professor Kelly
