Concord's "Hidden Jewel"
​
​Since 1993, Averill's has been an academy of martial arts. Long before "mixed martial arts" gained popular recognition, Coach Paul Averill has taught his students to think beyond the mind set of "one way, one style" training. Diverse skills are important for the serious practitioner, and varied workouts keep a body and mind fresh. Coach Averill's proficiency in multiple disciplines, and his concern for each student's progress, as well as his superior ability to impart his skills to his students, are why Averill's is known as Concord's "hidden jewel" of martial arts schools.
Philosophy
We don't make life easier - we make YOU TOUGHER. Life is a contact sport. You’re not welcomed into this world with a pat on the back but a slap on the behind!
​
Think life is tough? It is. Think life’s not fair? You’re right.
​
The opponents you face may not be named “Iron Mike” or "The Jet" ; they might be Stress, or Smoking, etc. Every day we train students as if they were going to fight 12 rounds against the meanest competitor in the world! We don't fight your battles for you; instead, training with Averill's gives you the fortitude and self-confidence you need to stand on your own two feet, pick up your hands and overcome life's challenges.
​
We not only get you in great physical shape, but mental and emotional shape as well. When times get tough (like they are right now for lots of people), having nerves of steel and the heart of a champion could come in handy now and then. Being razor-sharp and ready for battle will see you through the rough times and help to enjoy the good times more. Training with Averill's helps you keep your cool while everyone else is going down in flames, and makes you look good doing it!
