Elite Edge Training

Fighting Arts and Fitness

The Fusion of Combat, Fitness, and Common Sense!

"Nothing is worse than active ignorance." - Goethe

Elite Edge Training is dedicated to promoting traditional martial arts, realistic close-combat training, and cutting-edge fitness instruction on the internet and throughout the central Iowa area. Originally the Des Moines Karate Club, the name was changed to show both the diversity and the level of programs we offer. No one in the area offers the variety of effective instruction that we give the public.
