Gokor is a legend and his guys are super talented! They are teaching some high level grappling. I would recommend anybody to come train here, no matter your level. I was in town just visiting for a week, they welcomed me in their gym and everyone that I trained with was an excellent training partner.

Whether you are looking just to stay in shape, lose weight, or become an MMA fighter, you owe it to yourself to see Gokor or Arthur, the best trainers you will ever meet! The place was renovated and it's always kept clean. I would definitely recommend on it.

The experience on the mat is extensive in its own, let alone the Masters teaching all through out the variety of classes. Hospitality felt like a family connection. Thank you!
