This place embodies exactly that! My family and I have been members for three years now, and I've been consistently impressed with both the kids' and adult programs. They offer BJJ ( Gi and no-go), wrestling, Muay Thai and woman's self defense. They continue to improve, and the classes are well-structured without any of the negativity sometimes associated with "MMA culture." Just genuinely good people from diverse backgrounds coming together to get better--both physically and mentally. If you're looking for a place to train, definitely check this place out!

The cost was too high at the other school and the kids had to go to two different class times based on their 5 and 7 age. This place is great. The cost is in our budget, the inside of the business is decorated awesome, and the instructor is very good at mixing fun with discipline. I can tell my kids are going to learn a lot from this class. They will be going once a week and to the same class to start off with! We got their uniforms on the first day, and white belt and the kids were ecstatic.

Anson has been my trainer for over two years. I had been having back, knee, and shoulder pain from…read moreregularly enjuring myself working out. With Anson's help, the pain is gone. I am achieving some significant improvement in a short time. His coaching supports a focus on longevity. Now, my results are so amazing that I can't stop this momentum. I am over 60, but I feel like I have pushed back 30 years. I am so pleased I found this guy. My friends have seen the benefits and are looking for Anson to do the same for them. Anson listens closely to my needs. He customizes my workouts based on my body, physical capabilities, and my goals. No matter what age you are, he fits in a plan that works. He also helped to improve my nutrition with regular nutrition guidance, resulting in meeting my target weight and nutritional goals. I am going to suggest that if you are over 50, you will really benefit from Anson's knowledgeable approach. I sure have. He comes to my home 3 times each week rather than me going to a gym - saving me significant time. He is flexible, so I can workout outside of my busy work schedule. He takes a strong interest in my well-being. He follows up during the week asking how things are going and gives suggestions. Although I purchased some home weights, actually no gym equipment is needed when he comes to the house! He brings anything needed. I highly recommend Anson as a trainer! He is dedicated and always on time. This guy is so positive you will catch that energy from him! I say to friends, grab this guy now before he becomes so popular, there are no openings. He is that good.
