About Spectrum Fitness and Martial Arts (BJJ and Karate)
At Spectrum Fitness and Martial Arts in Minot, we offer a unique combination of high-quality fitness training and martial arts instruction — including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Karate — in one welcoming facility. The vision behind Spectrum grew out of two decades of individual work by our owners, Michael and Rachelle, whose shared passions for fitness, sports competition, and martial arts came together to create a community-first training center in Minot, North Dakota.
We believe that getting in great shape and learning a martial art should go hand in hand. Our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program teaches practical ground-fighting skills that are effective regardless of size or athletic background, while our broader martial arts curriculum builds well-rounded, confident practitioners. Every program is designed to serve both competitive athletes and everyday individuals looking to improve their health, discipline, and self-defense awareness.
Spectrum Fitness and Martial Arts is your home for BJJ, karate, and fitness training in Minot. Our highly qualified instructors walk with you through your journey rather than simply offering a space — we are invested in your growth every step of the way.
Reviews
My wife and I enrolled our 8-year-old son into BJJ. When my wife took him to the trial period she was very impressed with coach Mike. She said he was the perfect mixture of sternness & gentleness. All the kids are very well-mannered and show respect, and clearly it has been taught to them in class. I know this because I sit and watch each class. There have been many times after school where I pick my son up for class and he says that he "does not want to go to BJJ today", but every single time that he's done with class, he says something to the sort of "that was really fun today" or "I had a great time". If you are on the fence about Spectrum Fitness, I highly recommend you take the leap and make this part of your journey called life. We are thrilled we made the decision for our boy. Ps my favorite part is that the kids have to earn their stripes and promotions. You don't just pay money and go X amount of times for a new belt!
Attended the CAST ( counter assault and stalking tactics) couse and I found it to be extremely helpful. It was well taught and affordable for the knowledge given to us. Would highly recommend to anyone considering the class!
Spectrum Martial Arts has been a fantastic place to train. When I think of fun things to do in Minot, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is my go-to activity every night of the week. The coaching is top-notch, and the instructors are well qualified and genuinely great people. Spectrum brings you into a community of hard-working and uplifting teammates and a learning environment that brings out the best in you and pushes you to succeed! I couldn't recommend this gym enough to anyone who is looking for a new skill or hobby in the Minot area!
Spectrum fitness is a clean, well stocked martial arts fitness/bjj/striking center that also offers kids and teens classes too. The coaching staff is friendly and inviting. There is great parking and a well lit parking lot. They have multiple training and fitness options to fit your specific needs. I highly recommend if you’re in the area or just visiting that you stop by for an introductory lesson. Pro tip they have a massage studio in the back of the gym. It s a one stop shop.
I've been to many Jiu jitsu academies, big name ones too, and I would say that Spectrum can go toe to toe with some of the best. Very technical in their teachings and the coaches are amazing! Sensei Mike Sian is one helluva man, former army ranger but gentle and respectful man. If you have kids, I highly recommend them to come here and attend. And if you are a young woman or man, looking to find some discipline, come here. It will definitely be worth your time and will change your life. -Seek Usefulness, not respect - only always OSS!
