I have been active in martial arts since I was a child. I started training in muay thai, jiu jitsu, and mixed martial arts in 2009. I have trained at "world class" gyms and 2 gyms that won "gym of the year". This place is great. Feels like a family, no judgement, and alot of people who are humble and willing to work hard. Anyone who says something negative about this gym is ignorant, period. Luis, the owner, is a great person and really took care of me upon signing up. After taking a hiatus from training and competing professionally, I was at a low point in my life, and knew that I needed to get back into training. Luis welcomed me with open arms. Although since getting back into training I haven't been as consistent as I would like (twin toddlers), now that my kids will be in daycare I will be attending almost daily. The instructors are great. People are mistaken if they think great coaches have to have alot of pro fights or pro experience.

As soon as my boys turn 4 they will be attending the kids classes right away. Everyone here is humble and willing to put in work, two vital aspects to having a great team. If you are looking for a gym, give this place a chance and you will not...

What matters is how I feel every single time I walk in, and the energy I leave with when I walk out.
The staff is genuinely amazing—warm, welcoming, and supportive. The women who take the class are just as inspiring, from teenagers to strong, beautiful adults. We all come from different backgrounds and experiences, but we share one common goal: to empower ourselves, protect ourselves, and keep doing what we love.
I truly wouldn’t be the woman I am today without this place. After going through a lot earlier this year, this program—and the women in it—helped pull me out of a dark space and reminded me of my strength.
If you’re considering trying a class, do it. The only regret you’ll have is not showing up for yourself and giving yourself the chance to experience something this...
