I am giving this gym a low rating due to a bad experience with the owner. A couple weeks ago I suffered a neck injury that could have paralyzed me during a BJJ sparing session. When I communicated this incident to the owner, he pretty much told me that it was all my fault because I was sparring with someone way out of my weight class, which I understand and I take responsibility for; however, the owner didn't want to talk to the other student in regards to almost paralyzing me. Since the owner didn't want to hold the other student accountable for his actions, that communicated to me that I was

Excellent teaching in a variety of different skills. I gained not only knowledge of mixed martial arts here, but also discipline and confidence. The owner, Rich, is a very stand up guy.

Rich and Danny are amazing! My daughter is in the kids classes has been for a few years now and they make it fun and disciplined at the same time. My daughter has grown and gotten so much from both the MMA and BJJ classes. She is more confident. It gives her an outlet which I think she really needed. I've seen the adult classes tho I have not taken any myself and they look awesome! Everyone there is considerate kind and supportive. Having gone there as long as we have it's like being part of a supportive family. If MMA or BJJ interest you I highly recommend you check them out! Even if you haven

I'm amazed by this place. My daughter has been going for only a few weeks and already see such a change in her. Her confidence is up, her respect. It's been such a blast to see her enjoy something so much. The staff is beyond amazing. They are so patient and work closely with her to ensure she is learning correctly and safely. So thankful this in here. She's learning from the best!!!

Love No Joke. Started there last fall with no prior MMA experience. I take the morning classes with the owner, Rich. It’s 9 intense 3 minute intervals. He has been patient with me as I continue to work on technique and keeps the workouts varied enough to keep me interested. As a mom with limited time to work out, I appreciate the flexibility of dropping in the mornings that I can. Great workouts and great stress relief. Challenging enough for great athletes and fighters but beginner friendly as well.

This place is awesome. The owners and instructors are very helpful and want you to succeed. As a female, I feel empowered by what I have learned. I mostly attend the boxing classes, but they offer many classes at different times to work with people's schedules. And while I don't have any children of my own in classes, I have been there when the kid's classes have been. The instructors are awesome with the kids! So, if you are looking for a place for your kids or yourself to learn and workout, check this place out!

These guys are great! You can tell they have a great experience, a vast knowledge base, and have a lot teach!
I took their morning Jiu Jitsu classes with their instructor Trevor. He does a great job breaking down moves and drilling the move in a way that makes it flow rather than thinking of it as a step by step process. He will explain and who you ideas in a way that just make it click. Many times I had been working on a move for weeks and Trevor explains/demonstrate one simple concept and all of sudden it becomes a working move.
The class culture is great! Extremely welcoming and friendly and
