At its core, community is about belonging. It’s the feeling of being seen, valued, and welcomed exactly as you are. In a world that often feels fast, fragmented, and individualistic, true community reminds us that we don’t have to move through life alone. That’s what makes community more than just a group of people—it becomes a shared experience, a support system, and a place to grow together.
Belonging is the foundation of our BAEPLEX community. At BAEPLEX, belonging isn’t earned through perfection or performance—it’s built through connection. Whether you’re stepping into the space for the first time or you’ve been part of the community for years, people feel at home here.

Our community is there for when life brings challenges, transitions, and moments that require encouragement and support. The BAEPLEX culture is rooted in the idea that support doesn’t always look like having all the answers—it’s more about showing up, checking in, and standing beside one another. Through shared experiences like taking your first class or breaking your first board, BAEPLEX community members lift each other up, celebrate wins together and offer strength during challenging moments.
Socializing is another powerful thread that ties the BAEPLEX community together. Connection thrives in shared conversations, laughter, collaboration, and sometimes vulnerability. BAEPLEX isn’t just a place where people take classes to learn kicks and punches —it’s a place where relationships form. These interactions create trust, spark creativity, and turn strangers into friends. Over time, those connections transform into a network of people who genuinely care and support one another.
What makes the BAEPLEX community special is how all of these elements come together seamlessly. From the moment you walk in the door, to the moment you leave, you feel as though it’s a safe space for you to come, be challenged and grow with other like-minded peers. Belonging, support, and social connection aren’t separate ideas here—they’re woven into the BAEPLEX culture. We are more than a space or a name; we are a collection of individuals choosing to become better, do better and grow together.
