Coach Iman, Raj, and Roland are first class. Having participated at several Capital MMA locations over the years, personally I know how important coaches and staff are as well as how your experience will be. I trust them to ensure my training is appropriate but more importantly my health, fitness, and personal goals are prioritized.
