What we’re about
🥋 Northside Martial Arts Collective – Madison, WI
Welcome to the Orthodox Martial Arts Collective, a movement-minded community rooted in the north side of Madison at ORTHDX Gym. This is a space for martial artists, movement enthusiasts, wellness seekers, and modern warriors of all backgrounds to connect, train, and grow—physically, mentally, and energetically.
We explore a dynamic fusion of traditions and modern practices, including:
🌀 Tai Chi & Qi Gong – Cultivate internal strength, balance, and calm through ancient energy arts that promote wellness, focus, and fluid power.
🥋 Kung Fu & Eskrima – Dive into traditional and tactical martial disciplines, from flowing forms to sticks, blades, and practical self-defense applications.
🛡 Self-Defense & Urban Ninja – Learn real-world skills for awareness, mobility, and resilience in everyday life—be it downtown or on the trail.
🧘 Meditation & Mindfulness – Develop inner stillness, presence, and clarity through guided practice rooted in breath, posture, and awareness.
🌿 Yoga & Movement Arts – Expand your range, flexibility, and energy flow with sessions that balance strength and recovery.
🏃 Parkour & Body Mechanics – Embrace movement freedom with techniques that build agility, grace, and environmental adaptability.
💪 Fitness Professionals & Boot Camps – Train hard, smart, and together. Join classes or lead workshops, share your expertise, or level up your own fitness.
🌟 Self-Empowerment & Personal Growth – Whether it’s through sweat, stillness, or sparring—we believe in growth. Come as you are, leave stronger.
Our mission is to foster a welcoming, non-dogmatic space where tradition meets innovation, and where every body can explore what it means to move, train, and live with purpose.
Join us for classes, workshops, open training sessions, fitness expos, and meetups designed to elevate your journey—mind, body, and spirit.
