Come here only if you are looking for MMA. Sure they have boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ, but the gyms goal is not focused on each individual art. If your goal is to be an MMA fighter, there are better gyms. If your goal is to be a BJJ black belt, there are better gyms. There's a high turnover rate of students with the exception of Muay Thai. If you are looking for good Muay Thai come here as long as Chris Tran the owner of Weapons 9 is still running the Muay Thai program. The gym tries to do too much with too little. Conditioning classes are poorly instructed. Half the gym seems to be rented out to some outside physical trainer leaving regular gym members with less space and less access. There are no showers. The gym expects the students to clean the mats everyday after class, which isn't enough because the mats are very dirty! And all the classes are in the evening. The only highlight is the Muay Thai, which in my opinion would be better if it was as seperate stand alone gym. Be cautious of signing a contract! The gym owner will switch instructors with no warning to the students. Basically come here is you want to train MMA (a little bit of boxing and BJJ) and Muay Thai. Muay Thai 5 stars. read more

I have trained in martial arts for over 35 years and this by far the best school I have trained at. It caters to all individuals from aspiring fighters to people looking for a workout and to protect themselves. The coaches and trainers are knowledgable, patient and encouraging to all students regardless of level. I found Strategic when my old school closed while training for a tournament. My sensei trains here and the owner invited me to train so I could compete. From day one I was treated like family, the staff is friendly and welcoming, the instructors are top notch and practice everything they teach. I joined and have been here for over 18 months and my son is not a student in the kids program. He has gained confidence and is a different person in both school and at home. Sensei Nestor and Coach Ryan have such enthusiasm working with the kids it is infectious. And much like the adult classes, the kids all help one another to learn. There is no egos, just good people wanting to help one another become better and have a good time while doing it. And how much does my family love this place, we travel about 30 minutes without traffic to come here, that's how good this place is. read more

Ok, here's the deal, the place is very much a family place, the kind of place where one should and will feel safe having their kids working out at. I can't say I've met anyone here who's not friendly or had any sort of negative attitude, it is the kind of place where you will inevitably make friends. Beginners get some needed special attention, but without the pressure or feeling intimidated. The coaches are who make this place what it is, all of them without exception, are as nice as one might expect, I can only speak highly of all of them. The kids, however, adore and have a great deal of respect for Sensei Ness. The shop has some equipment readily available, but can get anything one may need at competitive (and sometimes) lower prices than online stores! There's a small weight room, which can be used whenever and as much as one may desire, included in the monthly cost. It is also worth noting that the building next door also has cross fit, but that runs a different program and it is not included in the martial arts cost. The wait room for the parents is comfortable and has its own bathroom. read more

There is a reason this place has 5 stars across the board. I'm in my mid twenties and I've never taken a martial art. I wanted to learn how to defend myself and others, what I got was so much more. Firstly people here know what they are doing, and if you give them your effort, they will help you through anything. In maybe two weeks people start to feel like family. No one judges you here no one criticizes you or makes you feel unwelcome. You just need to come equipped with one thing, the desire to achieve. You might see the price tag and call it a day, I can tell you from experience looking for a gym your not going to find any thing around here cheaper and the price is reasonable. You get so much more than you pay for here. I implore you to visit and take a class, ask the people first hand what they feel about the place ask them their stories on how they got started. It might be intimidating seeing all these people in great shape, I can tell you first hand, not all of us started out that way, I know I didn't. I love these people. Please come by. -Cookie Monster read more

My Daughter has been doing MMA for a little over a year now. She loved it immediately. I cannot say enough good things about the instructors and how amazing they are with the kids. The way they talk to the kids and teach them amazes me to this day. I could not ask for my daughter to be part of a better program. The program has given her confidence and strength, both physically and mentally. Sensei Ness, Coach Ryan, Coach Billy, Coach Dave and all the other coaches are amazing and devote so much time to these kids. They go above and beyond what is expected of an instructor. On top of all that, the kids and parents are amazing as well. We call it our "Strategic Family" read more

Both my 9year old and 4 year old go here for MMA training. I can't say enough positive things about Strategic. The classes are hard and challenging for the kids. It builds confidence, and teaches them that the reward is worth the effort. The coaches are amazing with the kids, instilling discipline and responsibility making them truly work hard for their belts and each victory not just giving it to them because we pay for it. My boys go 4 days a week, and can't wait for every class. They learn something new each class and get excellent physical/mental agility and training that will last a lifetime. read more

No joke, I love this place. I hate working out but I have to. If I have to pay money to do it, then I would rather do it at a place where the coaches actually CARE. They teach proper form, self-defense for women, technique. Trust me it is a struggle for me to go to classes but it is definitely worth going. You will not get this type of personalized experience at a regular gym. I asked one of the coaches to teach me a certain technique and he just did it. He didn't say check my calendar or tell me that it would cost extra, he asked me if I had time, I said yes, and he taught me. It's worth it!!! read more

I started at Strategic at the beginning of Summer 2015. I was very nervous going into a new environment, especially doing something that I've never done before. But from the first class I walked into, I was welcomed with open arms. All of the coaches are very friendly and helpful. They like to have fun while getting the job done at the same time. If they see you struggling with a certain skill, they'll come over and work with you one-on-one until you understand. Everyone at Strategic has not only helped me physically, but has made me better mentally as well. read more

Strategic is amazing. My 13 yr old son practices MMA, Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing. The instructors and Senseis are professionals who are passionate about their art. They use the right mix of discipline, caring, and fun. The classes are appropriately balanced for skill levels. The gym is always spotlessly clean. The waiting room with windows for parents is a plus. Thank you Strategic for fostering this talent in my son and looking after him like a little brother. He's grown in confidence and has learned how to protect himself. You guys rock. -The Z family read more

My daughter just recently started coming here. She has probably been a student here for two months and absolutely loves it. It is such a family environment. Even on day one sensei ness made it a point for her to be introduced to all the other students. She is learning so many different techniques and discipline as well. They really take time to make sure all the children understand what they are doing. The other children who have been there for a while also make sure to help the newer students out. It really is a great school. read more

There is nothing bad I could say about this gym, the second I walked through these doors all of the staff and coaches have made me at home. I am so happy I chose to come here for my kick boxing experience I knew nothing and the coaches taught me step by step for the past 8 months. I couldn't be happier coming here I wake up days on days I have kick boxing and can't wait to get there. So thankful for such an amazing gym !! I could go on and on !! Sign up!!! read more

Been training at the gym now for over a year. Trainers are fantastic and know what to say to keep you motivated. Never had a problem with anybody in my classes, we all help each other out to reach our limit. I was a little hesitant at first to join this gym because I hate feeling like the new kid at school. Looking back at it, probably one of the best decisions I've made in my life. Overall, I've had and would recommend others to join. read more

My son has been a student here for the last few months and the techniques and discipline he has learned in the last few months is amazing. The patience and knowledge that sensei ness has with all the children is really astounding. You can truly tell he loves his job. The skills my son has learned here he will take on throughout his life. This place truly feels like a family environment. My only regret is not joining months ago read more

My family has been going here since August and are extremely happy. My kids are learning not only MMA, but discipline and self control. My wife and I are both taking MMA classes that teach technique and provide a great workout. The instructors are all very friendly and challenge you positively. There is a great family atmosphere (Alfonse offered to watch my kids when my class ran a little over!) and sense of community. read more

This gym has changed my life in so many ways. It has became a family to me and all of the highly qualified coaches and trainers are the best! It is a very family like environment that everyone can find a way to enjoy being there whether just training to get a work out in or lose weight or wanting to learn how to fight or defend your self. This gym is the best in the area and I wouldn't change a thing about it read more

There is nothing bad to say about this place...love everything about it from the instructors to the members...I have met some of the most amazing people that have forever changed my life. It is such a welcoming atmosphere...and the positive energy you feel when you walk through the door is contagious. I've learned so much physically and mentally and will forever be a member!!! read more

Our family love this place. Our son started MMA when he was 4 years old. The couches are awesome with the kids, my son wants to go to class everyday and my husband now joined the academy as well and is enjoying very much. It is a family place, you feel safe to leave your kid there, the whole staff is very friendly and they take a very good care of the kids. read more

My 9 year old son Julian has been boxing for over 1 year with coach Dan and he has learned so much. With the start of a new school and school activities we are sad but we have to take a little break. I highly recommend and we will be back. Julian will miss you all thank you Coach Dan & Alfonse for everything!! read more

I have been coming to this gym for 3 years now and I love it. They offer BJJ, Boxing, conditioning and Wrestling. The Muay Thai classes are great too. Jaffer is the head MT trainer and he's all aces in my eyes. Very focused and driven as all the trainers are. They push you to excel. No egos here. read more
