We are so grateful for finding this place! Our 6-year-old son never wanted to join any sports or clubs before, and we honestly tried many things. But the very first time he tried a class at Flow, he had so much fun,and it became the only activity he truly wanted to join. Coach Lindsey is absolutely wonderful with kids. She knows exactly how to turn learning martial arts into fun games while still teaching discipline and skills. She makes the class engaging, exciting, and welcoming. Coach Derek is also fantastic and very supportive. Everyone on the team is so kind and encouraging, and the environment feels positive and safe. Our son looks forward to every class, and that means everything to us.

Flow MMA is a special gym with an incredible coaching staff and unparalleled culture. I have been training with Deric and Lindsay for over 4 years and they have not only made me a better athlete but a better man. Coach Deric cares deeply about every member of his community and their growth on and off the mats. Coach Lindsay is a wealth of knowledge who trains my 6 year old daughter with a tact that accentuates her passion and experience. I could not recommend this space enough.

Flow MMA academy is where you want to be to train legit combat sports. Incredible instruction and it shows in every one of the students. My son has been training with Deric and Lindsay for about a year, has competed multiple times and keeps bringing home all the hardware; almost always a gold. In addition he has grown in maturity, character, and motivation. All around I can’t recommend enough.

As a 31 year old new to mma, Flow instructors made this a great experience. Welcoming environment and a guaranteed workout. If you’re a girl looking to learn a bit of self defense or just adding something new to your fitness routine, 10/10 recommend Flow.

Derrick and Lindsey have created something special at Flow. It’s a true community, not just a gym. In just 2.5 months, the value I've received from the coaches has been unmatched. They genuinely care about your progress and are always ready to provide the extra instruction you need. Making Flow a part of my weekly routine has positively impacted other areas of my life in ways I never expected.
