I’ve been training bjj here 4-5x per week for over 4 years. Can’t say enough about the quality of the coaches and the friendliness of the entire staff. Not to mention, the bjj facility is hands down the best I have ever trained at (I travel all over the country for work and have trained at many well-known gyms that don’t even come close). I’ll train here for the rest of my life, and one day my kids will as well. Highly recommend anyone check it out, no matter your background, age or experience. All are welcome.

This place/gym has been a blessing to our family. My grandson has taken classes for 10 years. They have helped him build his confidence and his combat skills. The people in the gym have shown him how to grow as a man and treat people with kindness.

Wonderful place to bring your children to build character teaching them discipline and building confidence. A family ran operation - the Hadad’s are a wonderful family and welcome anyone and everyone, no matter the level of experience. I regret a lot of things. Sending my kid to Core Combat isn’t one of those things. As my son would say, I give it a 10/10!

My son has been attending kids’ self-defense and BJJ classes for two years now, and he absolutely loves them! He’s had the best time with the coaches, Max and Nathan, and they’ve been incredibly friendly and welcoming to both him and me. We’re so grateful to have found such great coaches. If you’re looking for a place for your child, we highly recommend checking out their classes. They’re truly wonderful!

My son has been training at CORE for 3 years now and now my youngest just started. Both of the boys love their coaches and the rest of the staff here. It has become somewhat of a second home for us. Nathan and Max are very professional and pay close attention to their students saftey and progress on their jiu jitsu journey. The environment at CORE is family oriented and welcomes people from all walks of life!
