I’ve been training at Arsenal for a couple of months and I’ve mainly been attending the Muay Thai classes, but I have gone to others. Throughout my time in the gym, I’ve always felt like I was in good hands and never felt as if anything went out of control. I would recommend this gym to anyone no matter their starting point.

Currently I am a blue belt in BJJ visiting from out of town for work. I dropped in for a week and everyone at Arsenal was welcoming. I was integrated into the class and was able to keep up with training while in Huntsville. I feel I got value out of my time here as the coach Brian Moore was a well versed and knowledgeable.The class was structured well and we even talked nuances during the fundamentals session. I wouldn't hesitate to come back any time in in the area.

Arsenal Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has been the best thing I have found for my 12 year old son. Since starting in August 2020 he has grown so much confidence and truly enjoys all the skills he has acquired. If you have younger children they have a great Kids Self Defense class.

Don't be nervous to try this gym. The people here are not only welcoming, but incredibly patient with newcomers. Dr. Moore breaks down the techniques well and pushes each student according to his or her capability. Additionally, the more experienced practitioners have proven to be an asset in helping new practitioners, such as myself. I have a background in high school wrestling, but I believe this gym is appropriate for individuals with no experience in a combat sport. In my opinion, this gym is an excellent fit for those who are eager to learn and willing to work.

Absolutely great BJJ school to train at. Brian is top notch and has fixed so many bad habits and misunderstandings I have carried with me over the years. The entire vibe and everyone who regularly trains here is great and welcoming. At 45 years old and coming off 10 years of not training or working out at all, I was welcomed in and feel a kinship with them all. Definitely check Arsenal out if you are visiting the area and looking for a place to drop in and train. If you’re from the area, give Arsenal a shot and I think you’ll definitely see how great it is.

I was introduced to Arsenal from a friend preparing for deployment. While my daughter has done tkd before, I haven’t been involved in any martial arts since a child. With no contact and the first day free, it was hard not to try it out. Jujitsu at Arsenal is something we both instantly have fell in love with. Especially with my daughter getting older and wanting to be confident in defending herself. I highly recommend Arsenal to anyone, whether adults or children. Great community of people, respectful at all times, no knucklehead attitudes, and an awesome workout. All this in a gym that is serious

I was in town for work and the Arsenal family is a pleasure to train with. They have that balance of welcoming strangers and warrior mode during training. I hope to visit them again. Definitely one of the cleanest martial arts schools I have visited. Sensei Bryan was a friendly and professional when I schedule my first class. I could see Sensei Bryan loves what he does.
