The only reason we're even leaving the class is because we're moving further than I can drive every weekend.

I've been meaning to look for a place where my son can go diversify his knowledge of how to fight…read moreand self defence. Dream MMA has been a bit of an enigma for us, and to think I was driving my family to a close by dentistry all these years, literally like neighbors. The Academy came to my attention when some people from some of the circle's we've hanged out from have mentioned them in our discussions. Curiosity took ahold and when I looked up their website, a lightbulb came on with a conclusion that I've seen their instructor (Coach Jeff) somewhere in various places. What baffled me as to why are all these places letting this guy who has his business into their Dojo's? It just doesn't stack up (thinking to myself). The fact that it was a Mixed Martial art school made it more appealing and so we just had to come check it out. We really just came here for the Boxing & Muay Thai (MMA portion) but Coach Jeff's Grappling and Jiu Jitsu skills are actually, very good!! What makes this place stick out? Coach Jeff is a stickler for attention to detail and he has a wide array of teaching skills of push and pull to get you to understand how and why the movement & technique is performed in that manner. When my son joined, he didn't know much defensive moves in his learnt art of Jiu Jitsu, we then tried it at the other places and it worked because he wasn't too easily submitted or held his own from getting submitted especially from other white belts or even some blue belts. That's how you get to find out what's effective by how & who is teaching it. He is very personalised in his methods of how he can help an individual get the best out of themselves and of their training, he can go as slow, steady or as fast as you need to be but also dynamic in mixing things so things don't go stale. When you have a Teacher asking you to help them become be a better teacher for you and your training needs, you know you have a good one. My youngest son (who trains here) isn't like my eldest who was more of a go getter, this one is the easy going type and yet I feel Coach Jeff has the finesse to extract the best out of him, all on the shoulders of a 30+ years young, he's ahead of the game. He is very approachable, respectable, charismatic & philosophical young man. For all you parents alike out there, you won't ever hear a foul term or language here or tones that condone training partners to rough the other (I understand this can be subjective and an individuals own interpretation but I have seen a few places, each to their own), not for Political correctness sakes but to promote respect, safe environment, discipline and passion to learn, alongside himself & his students. Coach Jeff isn't selective on who he spars with, if anything, seeing him spar with my son (white belt) reassures me that he is vested in each of his students, you don't have to be his star student/'s to get to roll with him, you don't have to ask him to roll with you only to be let down because your instructor/coach think you're not good enough to spar with him. That was HUGE for me. I'm not knocking the other places we've been to, they are all good in their own right but Dream MMA for us, is the right place at the right time. More power to Coach Jeff and an honorary mention to Coach Fernando and Coach Ron who help enrich the Dream experience.

Whether you're a fan of MMA or boxing, this place has it all--and more! The atmosphere buzzes with positive energy.

I'm not just a fan--I'm a testament to what Coach Jeffrey stands for. Both him and the school earn every one of these five stars. Come experience it--once you do, you won't look anywhere else. This place doesn't just meet the standard--it sets it!
