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 mindset 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.
