Fighting Arts Academy

I can't say enough good things about FAA. It is rare to find a place with this level of expertise while still being welcoming to participants of all levels. Jeremy is the freakin' Yoda of combat sports, a terrific motivator always pushing students to do their best, and on top of all that, does a phenomenal job with the children's classes. It is no surprise that the other coaches and students drawn here share those values and are just great people to be around.

My husband and son love training at this facility together. They have professional staff, great breakdown of moves, organized class and provide individual attention to aid with mechanics of the moves. We've seen a massive improvement in skills and confidence over just a few weeks, don't hesitate and stop by just before a class to sign up!

Wholesome judgement free zone. Highly skilled pros. Amazing community. Cheers to the FAA team, you are very much appreciated.

Short Version - FAA is a fantastic martial arts gym for both children and adults and I highly recommend it to EVERYONE. My 7 yr old son currently attends FAA and he loves it. FAA manages to balance training the correct techniques and discipline all while making it a FUN and engaging experience for kids of all ages. The coaches are amazing. I've seen other martial arts gyms where the kids classes are routinely taught by the most junior instructors. This is not the case at FAA. The owner/operator Jeremy, with all of his years of experience and responsibility training the most experienced fighters is there leading every single class, and it's astounding. The fact that a sensei can go from running fight camps and cornering elite fighters in the octagon/NAGA mats and still be high-fiving/engaging/encouraging my 7 yr old as he falls to the ground trying to figure out a shoot or high kick? You simply won't get that anywhere else. Same with the other coaches, it's the superstars training the kids and Jeremy has all taught them well, b/c they too are amazing. I've followed FAA for years ever since I trained a bit myself and started seeing all their wins at the local MMA events. They've got some world class fighters and I'm excited about some of their upcoming prospects. That said, I'm even more excited that my son's got a sport he loves, is making friends, getting exercise, and has world class training 5 times a week. If your in the area and looking for an MMA gym, congratulations, you just found it. If you're slightly outside the area and wondering if the commute is worth it, yes, yes it is. And if you compare the per class costs with any other nominal kids activity (gymnastics, taekwondo, etc.) it's comparatively cheap, and more than worth every penny. Do yourself and your kids a favor and give it a shot (and you can see my son fall down trying to do the same).

Excellent gym, amazing sense of community across all levels. The coaches here are all experienced, knowledgeable and great at teaching skills and techniques. Best place you can go to train, learn as well as get an extremely fun work out in. I would recommend this gym to anyone and everyone who wants to give it a try
