ABOUT ARMARE
The triangle is a major element of jiu jitsu.
The 3 points of Balance. Stability. Adaptability.
Power distilled.
The Armare triangle echoes the impact of a power button, a representation of accessing a world of possibilities. Jiu Jitsu pulls you out of your day, sharpens your mind, strengthens your body, builds confidence, and connects you with a community that pushes you to grow far beyond the mats — a reminder that you are choosing pressure on purpose — choosing to forge yourself, choosing to lean into growth.
For women stepping into our self‑defense programs, that same symbol stands just as strong the moment you decide to see your value and build the confidence and tools to protect yourself.
Armare [Latin] . arˈma.re.
"To arm, equip, reinforce. To strengthen. To prepare."
Armare's programs are built to add movement, strength, skill, resilience and confidence to your arsenal. Through self-defense, Jiu Jitsu, cardio kickboxing, and more, Armare offers you the opportunity to fortify your life, strengthen your body, sharpen your mind, and learn tools to protect yourself and your loved ones.

JIU JITSU
No Gi
Humility. Leverage. Technique. Respect.
Jiu Jitsu — the art of problem solving.
Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that primarily focuses on the ground portion of fighting. You learn control and win with submissions; you also learn to protect yourself and live to fight another day. Step on the mats and improve your health, physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Jiu Jitsu will ground you as you problem-solve your way to a solution. Don't be surprised if you forget about your problems for a while.
ALCHEMY
Women's Self Defense
To purify. To perfect. To transform into gold.
Better to have the skill and not need it, than to need the skill and not have it.
Alchemy is our women's self-defense program focused on equipping women with confidence and tools to defend themselves and their loved ones in life-threatening situations. Here at Armare, we believe you are valuable, and we are passionate about giving you the opportunity to build your confidence and protect your value.
Armare offers a safe training atmosphere. Come as you are, leave your problems at the door; you won't need them here. Walk out a stronger, more confident, and capable version of yourself.
CARDIO KICKBOXING
Stress relief. Health. Transformation.
The same voice that says "give up" can also be trained to say "keep going!"
Cardio Kickboxing hits different — and it’s built to move you.
It pushes you if you let it, and the payoff is real: sharper conditioning, stronger confidence, and stress that melts the moment your gloves make contact. Your health is valuable, and we want to give you a space where you can protect it — and sometimes that starts with hitting something. Here, we encourage that.
Our classes run for one hour:
-
15‑minute warm‑up to fire up your body
-
8 rounds, 3 minutes each — high‑energy, full‑body work
-
15‑minute cool‑down to reset and recover
All levels welcome. The commitment is yours; we provide the community and the space.
Come try a class and feel what happens when you show up for yourself.
* We are excited to be in process of building our kickboxing program. Stay tuned for updates!

ABOUT THE FOUNDER
Coach Mattie is one of Eddie Bravo's female black belts, promoted in 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu in 2021. Mattie officially began her martial arts training in 2011 at Jax Beach BJJ, a year later she found a home with Coach Dean Grant at The Training Yard (renamed: Happy Healthy Strong). In 2017, Mattie began focusing heavily on her nogi jiu jitsu with 10th Planet Jiu JItsu. Over the years Mattie has trained in Muay Thai under Kru Brian Tyle, Haganah, Krav Maga, Kali, KFM, and various other arts. Nogi jiu jitsu always stayed close to Matties heart.
A year into training Mattie developed a heart for working with women in self-defense specific scenarios and seeks to share that knowledge here in Orlando.
