After experiencing a significant back injury, Jordan was inspired to create methods to keep the body moving fluidly.
Using the experience in his many years of movement in dance, martial arts and circus performance, he developed
18 HANDS .
18 HANDS is where ancient martial arts wisdom meets modern performance training. Every lesson draws from decades of experience in martial arts, mobility, flexibility, functional strength, breath-work, and movement education to create a complete system for lifelong physical and mental development.
This isn't a beginner's fitness class, and it isn't rehab. 18 HANDS is a performance system for people who already move — athletes, martial artists, and serious trainees looking to sharpen strength, conditioning, mobility, and combat skill at a level most gyms can't coach. If you're already active and want to be trained with intention, not just supervised, this is built for you.
Programs Built for Athletes & Martial Artists
COMBAT CONDITIONING
Explosive Strength. Primal Power. Fight-Ready Conditioning
Combat Conditioning Subhead: Explosive Strength. Primal Power. Fight-Ready Conditioning. Body: High-intensity kettlebell and bodyweight training built for athletes and martial artists who need real output under fatigue . This is not a generic HIIT class. If you compete, spar, or train hard, this is your engine work.
PERFORMANCE MOBILITY
Flexibility and joint health for athletes who train hard and need to stay in the game.
Targeted hip, hamstring, spine, and shoulder mobility work paired with breath control — designed to keep serious trainees moving well long-term, not a general stretching class.
RECOVERY & ENERGY WORK
Active recovery for athletes who push hard.
Qigong-based breathwork and movement to support recovery, nervous system regulation, and mental clarity between hard training sessions — a tool serious athletes use, not a wellness fad. Learn fast recovery between intense rounds of performance.
KUNG FU COMBATIVES & CRAFT
For those ready to train seriously.
Black Sash-lineage instruction in stances, strikes, and combat movement for people who want to genuinely develop skill — not a one-off intro class. Prior movement experience or an active fitness background recommended.
