M1 Combat Academy

I’ve been training jiu-jitsu over 15 years and I’ve rolled through a lot of gyms, and I can tell you this is a top-notch gym with top-notch instruction. Great group of men and women that train here too. My 14-year old also trains here and loves it and his confidence has really improved. The coaches do a great job keeping it instructional but fun for the kids. Highly recommend whether you want to be a competitor or just train as a hobbyist.

Staff and coaches are amazing. Mats are cleaned daily. The atmosphere is beginner friendly. Belts of all levels, men and women. Excellent place for you or your kiddos. They offer free women's self-defense classes and open-mat sessions for everyone, free of charge. You couldn't ask for a better spot to roll! My only concern is Jeff said I've got short legs. Hes right I do, but he doesn't need to remind me about it all the time!

I have been training at M1 for a little over a month. However, I have known the coaches and the men and women at this gym for the better part of 5 years. I will say, without hyperbole, they are some of the best coaches and Jiu Jitsu practitioners in the valley. The training is tough, and no one is an "easy" roll. The technique is functional and effective. However, the environment is friendly and welcoming, and new students are welcomed and guided not just by the coaches, but also the more experienced students. I strongly recommend to anyone looking to train, whether a seasoned practitioner or a brand new student stepping on the mats for the first time.

This is hands down one of the best jiu jitsu gyms I’ve ever been to. The professors are incredibly knowledgeable and super friendly, always willing to share their expertise and help you improve. The students here are equally welcoming — no egos, no attitude — everyone treats each other like family. The environment is amazing: clean, safe, and supportive. The mats are cleaned frequently, which really shows how much pride the gym takes in maintaining a professional space. The overall vibe is very family-oriented, making it a great place for anyone, from beginners to advanced practitioners, to train and grow. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll learn high-level jiu jitsu in a positive and ego-free environment, this is the place.

I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at M1 Combat Academy for a year and a half, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The community here is absolutely amazing—everyone is welcoming, supportive, and dedicated to helping each other grow. Jeff is a phenomenal instructor whose expertise and teaching style make every class engaging and challenging. Thanks to his guidance, I feel more confident in my ability to defend myself and my family. Dave’s morning fitness classes have also been a game-changer for me—I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since college! The workouts are intense but rewarding, and they’ve helped me build strength and endurance like never before. What makes M1 even more special is that it’s become a family affair for us. All three of my sons train here now, and they’ve even competed in tournaments, which has been an incredible experience for them. If you’re looking to start BJJ or improve your fitness, I highly recommend M1 Combat Academy. This place truly feels like a second home!
