Just there for self-improvement, perfect! Everyone is full of motivation and is completely unjudgmental. Both of the coaches are amazing people who have personally helped me through a lot, even when I wasn't the best to them. They have made me a better person, as well as teaching me how to manage my anger in better ways. I 100% recommend this gym as I have been going consistently for more than 4 months. I love Valhalla MMA and everyone who is in that building. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's success, as well as the newcomers who want to improve themselves. THANK YOU VALHALLA MMA!

This is the best gym I have eve been a member of and I tried quite a few over the years. Gail, the…read morehead coach, is not only a skilled and accomplished athlete but also a great person and a motivating teacher. Each class is different, thought through and definitely pushes my limits. I've been at this for a year and made a huge progress - from learning new skills, to losing weight and feeling healthy, to making new friends. The best martial arts place hands down.

I started Krav Maga at the KM-Training Center back in about 2006-2007. I did a lot of research into…read moreKrav Maga and the instructors available and came to the conclusion that this was a good place to put my cash. They teach KM, cardio boxing, fight classes, Muay Thai, and there is an affiliated BJJ school in the same building. There are a lot of options here - each taught by a knowledgeable instructor. I was not disappointed when I joined. The instructors were top-notch and Aubrey (the owner) is well-trained (had won the KM-Worldwide Instructor of the year award). The place felt like a friendly, engaging, and positive place to be. They treated you like family and always said "Hi" when you walked in. Pretty cool. The quality of instruction was good, the methods seem solid (I've never had to use them in any altercation so I can't say from actual experience) and I do know that some of the local law-enforcement have trained there because they feel it's a legitimate system. My only caveat with this center is due to my issue with Krav Maga Worldwide. I have nothing against the instructors at this location but the organization they are affiliated with seems to be hiking prices and asking for some absurd requirements upon joining. When I first started there was no mention of uniforms, the prices seemed fair, the contracts were varied (tri-monthly, yearly, etc.) and I had no feeling of being pressured to buy anything. Now, they seem to want everyone in a KM suit for training, the prices have increased, the contracts are longer and there's more emphasis on buying "specific" gear. This seems like a change for the worse. I believe the people running this place are honest people and truly want to teach people what they know. Unfortunately KM Worldwide is bogging them down with a financial agenda. Again, I want to make clear that the people running this particular center are knowledgeable, well-trained, and nice - my issue is with their parent organization, Krav Maga Worldwide. Overall, you will learn a lot and stay fit. These instructors know how to make you work and will push you to be the best you can be. If you can afford it, there's no harm trying this center; unfortunately the contract lengths make it hard for those who are curious to take the plunge. You can't go wrong with the quality of instructors here - the price is a bit of a drawback but for some, that may not even be an issue. The Krav Maga Training Center is great, unfortunately it's affiliation with the Krav Maga Worldwide organization is a bit of a drawback.

I ran into a situation where my daughter and I were eating ice cream at scoops on viscount and she…read moreneeded the potty. I walked to dance extreme and asked them kindly if my 3 yr old can use their bathroom. The lady rejected us and it was very embarrassing and frustrating. Next door was Olympic martial Arts...upon entering I notice there's a class going on this giant mat and the bathroom is on the other side. I figured I'm probably going to get rejected again and was getting ready to just leave. The gentleman teaching the class saw me and asked me what he can do to help. I didn't even tell him what happened next door but just that my 3 yr old needed the bathroom. He stopped his class so my daughter and I can walk right through the mats in between his students and access the bathroom in the back. He just asked that we take our shoes off before stepping on the mat. And then unfortunately we had to interrupt his class again to exit. It was such a small gesture and such a basic necessity but it made a huge difference for us. To think that dance extreme rejected us and their bathrooms aren't located anywhere inconvenient in their building was disheartening. This man stopped his class twice so my little girl can get to the bathroom. Not to mention his young students were watching and observing what was going on. It's a small gesture but it also taught the kids something that were in there. Martial Arts teaches respect and patience and it reflected on that class yesterday evening. This is the type of environment and sport I want my daughter in.
