What began in a small Tahoe studio has grown into a 5,000 sq ft facility, offering karate, boxing, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, and MMA. ETG isn’t just a gym – it’s a school and family, empowering students of all ages to build confidence, discipline, and strength.

From launching free women’s self-defense classes to coaching champions, our mission remains the same: to train better humans, not just better fighters.
