What Our Members Are Saying
- Support, love, and family
Love this Gym, and love my "gym family". Thats what you get, when you train here. Support, Love, and people trying to be a better version of themselves. My only regret is that I waited to try it. Don't put off trying it! You will feel so good mentally and physically once you start training, do it for you
Nick Wice - The perfect learning environment
"Very inviting environment for people who have 0 martial arts experience. The instructors are patient and detailed in breaking down technique, and they divide the class by skill level so you’re never partnered with someone more advanced. It’s the perfect environment to learn and grow.”
Ethan Wojciechowski - Best place in the state to learn
Went here for a year before moving to college, I come back on breaks. Met some amazing people and some good friends, learned a lot about Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and fighting. Best place in the state to learn from world class fighters.
