I've lost 20lbs since I started training and love watching my son learn discipline and resilience in the kids' class.

Overall, it's a great place to build skill, confidence, and community--highly recommended for anyone looking to start or continue their BJJ journey.

This place has regular class and competition class for kids. Professor Enzo is very efficient with class time and more strict. This is training not play time. They have classes 6 days a week and M-F, classes are 70 mins. Sometimes goes 80 mins. If you want your kids to get better, this is the place. Some families drive hours to come here. That tells you that they are doing something right.

I joined this school with about 5 years of prior experience in BJJ (as a blue belt). My bjj journey…read morehas not been straight forward. I started training in my 20's at a big name school. After about 5 years, I got seriously injured, got surgery, then life happened (marriage, kids), took a 8 year hiatus from training, and now at 41 years old, I was able to find my way back. It was through a referral from a friend that I found this school. Since restarting, my view of the art has changed tremendously. A lot of the fundamental concepts, which were elusive me to early on, have been hammered into my mind because of this school. Enzo is meticulous, and very technical. He is an instructor who has a passion for his students. I've trained at various schools for years, where I was taught mostly by purple or brown belts. Having Enzo, a 3rd degree black belt under Cobrinha, teach every single class has been so beneficial to my journey. He's instilled in me not only a solid fundamental base, meticulous details and techniques to build on top of it, but more importantly, a passion and curiosity for continual discovery of the art. He makes it a point to know and meet each student where they're at. Yes, the school is growing bigger, but it still maintains a small school vibe, with a no-ego, fun, and safety-first culture. Both of my daughters and my wife train here as well, and they love it. Anyone and all are welcome.

Fight Factory is an excellent place to improve your physical fitness and martial arts skills. As an…read moreinstructor, Master Sayed is highly skilled and knowledgeable in a variety of martial arts disciplines, including Hapkido and Wing Chun, also in Boxing and Strengthening. I initially joined the gym to learn boxing, but quickly I was doing flying kicks and learning how to take down opponents. A great thing about Master Sayed and Fight Factor are the variety of workouts offered. Every session is different, so you never get bored. You can try different things each session and mix up your workouts to keep things interesting and challenging. He will have you coming back for more in no time. What sets Master Sayed apart from other trainers is his attention to detail and his dedication to helping his students become better. He is diligent in correcting all the details of your form and technique, which will help you achieve the best results possible. He has over 40 years of experience and that shows in his training methods and knowledge base. He is able to apply each martial arts move into life scenarios, which is incredibly valuable. He is also an excellent motivator, always pushing me to my limits and beyond, so I can achieve my full potential. In just a short amount of time, I've seen a transformation in my body and my martial arts skills. I highly recommend Master Sayed and Fight Factory to anyone.

After seeing how great the environment was, I decided to enroll myself and have now been part of the adult program for 6 months. It's a very family-oriented place many parents bring their kids and even end up joining themselves. The gym is always clean, and they even have a Flo Water dispenser, which is a nice touch. The professor is extremely helpful and patient, and the owners are accessible and involved with the members. As a woman, I really appreciate that there are other women training here too, and the men are always respectful and supportive. It truly feels like a comfortable and encouraging space for everyone. I really enjoy the variety of classes offered Gi, No-Gi, and fitness classes all of which help improve both skills and conditioning.

Once my daughter is older we will take the same path. Once again, a tough professor when is needed but also gentle so my kids know to be respectful and feel safe at the same time. Oh one other thing, great families all around and my kids made some great friends! Highly recommended for whoever wants to join this amazing family!
