This place is absolutely amazing. I went to the women’s self defense classes and it was so informative. The instructor is very good at explaining everything he’s teaching, and made sure each of us truly understood what we were doing. I learned a lot of practical skills and feel more confident in my ability to defend myself.

I’ve trained at several gyms, but Alamut Combative Arts is on a different level. The coaching here is legit. They break everything down in a way that makes you better fast, whether you’re a complete beginner or already experienced. Every session feels like you’re actually learning skills that work in real situations, not just going through the motions. The environment is the perfect mix of intense and welcoming. The coaches push you, but they’re patient and genuinely care about your progress. Highly recommend

Took a women’s self defense course with some girlfriends and we had a blast. Scott and his crew are amazing! So informative and really helped us feel comfortable and confident in our new techniques. Can’t wait to continue this training!

I have been training with Coach Hazel & Scott at Alamut for almost a year now, and I am beyond grateful for their support and encouragement both on and off the mat. Their reality-based training has pushed me in every way: physically, mentally, and emotionally. They challange me to step out of my comfort zone and become stronger and more resilient. 10/10 recommend to anyone. 💛
