I love training at Stanley Combatives! The facility is always clean/organized, they offer a wide range of classes, and everyone there is very kind and helpful, especially if you’re a beginner. Brian, the owner, is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about each person’s growth, both on and off the mat. Highly recommend!

I’ve been training for two years at Stanley Combatives and never regretted it!! Brian Stanley and his team of instructors are nothing short of exceptional! The Intro to Muay Thai class is organized so that new students are paired with experienced ones and given one-on-one instruction. It is a very positive environment with the student encouraging one another as we all learn together. 🥊 And did I mention…it’s really inexpensive! Brian and his crew are pationate about passing on the knowledge and skills. You can even come and try a couple classes for free!

This place is awesome. Recommending 100%, Brian Stanley and all his instructors are excellent at teaching each of the techniques in each class. They are patient people with whom they are just starting out and make you feel like family. You should definitely know Stanley Combatives if you want to learn about self defense and have fun at the same time. Thank you guys!

As a true beginner who knew nothing about kickboxing/muay thai/ self defense I can say this is place to learn. After having been in several accidents I was originally just looking for self defense but Coach Kayla, Coach Erika, and Coach Brian kept me coming back. I have since taken other classes (Muay Thai) because of the supportive coaches, the respectful environment and the overall culture. At end of day Coach Brian and his team will work with anyone (all skill levels) as long as they come to work hard.

I love Stanley Combatives! I’ve been training here for almost 3 years and have nothing but great things to say about it. Kru Brian, Kru Jake and Kru Jahnee, and all of the other coaches as top tier. I’ve had 3 fights under the gym’s name and did a pretty good job. This place is the truth. If you’re looking for a place to learn martial arts, look no further!
