Grit MMA

This place is AMAZING!! I signed up my young son, unsure of what to expect... however after one class with Coach Carson, my little guy was HOOKED. Coach Carson is patient, kind, firm, and VERY knowledgeable- exactly what my son needed. I saw immediate respect displayed by my son because he respects Coach Carson so much- he also incorporates fun in between skills to keep the kids engaged (and tired by the end)! We are thrilled we found this place. I cannot say enough good things about how this gym is run!

I started training with Carson in 2020. He’s always been an Amazing Coach, Great Motivator and a Creative Trainer. The Gym provides a family feeling no matter how big the classes get as well as a very professional and hard working environment. Training with Grit MMA got me in the best shape I’ve ever been in, helped give me confidence and taught me very valuable life lessons as well as teaching me how to fight and defend myself. I would HIGHLY recommend joining Grit MMA.

Great place to learn. I’ve been attending the kickboxing class for a few months. My son does the kids class and has a blast. I know It can be intimidating to walk into an MMA gym with no experience. Trust me, Coach Carson does a fantastic job of teaching the basics, making you feel comfortable, then improving in a short period. The other gym members are very welcoming and supportive. Take advantage of the free trial, you have nothing to lose. You’ll be impressed at how quickly you’ll catch on and start improving. Also, you don’t need to be “in shape” to start. You’ll get a great physical workout, better than the gym.

I am thrilled to share my families experience with Grit MMA. My two sons, aged 6 and 3, have been training in kickboxing and grappling here on a weekly basis, and the progress they've made is incredible! Coach Carson Frei is not only an exceptional teacher of the arts, but is also an outstanding professional fighter! He brings incredible patience, top-notch technique, and a warm demeanor that truly makes a difference. Grit MMA offers a fantastic range of classes, including the 5-12 year old class that my oldest boy attends, as well as "the littles" class for ages 3 to 5 that my youngest attends. The family atmosphere is palpable, and you can tell that Coach Carson, along with his wife Haili, and their wonderful children Jace, and Hazel, genuinely care about all of their members and the feel of the gym is extremely welcoming and supportive. My 6-year old has blossomed so much in the past year, coming out of his shell and gaining confidence with every training session, all thanks to the wonderful guidance and encouragement he receives through Coach Carson's hard work and dedicated teaching methods. I can't recommend Grit MMA enough. If you're looking for a supportive, family-oriented gym that delivers exceptional results and a fun environment for both kids and adults, then this is the place for you!

GRIT MMA is by far the best martial arts gym around. I was relatively new to martial arts before signing up here, and a little bit intimidated. Coach Carson and his wife Haili were both very welcoming, along with the rest of the Grit team. I had previously been going to another gym that was larger, but I didn't receive half of the experience I've gotten from Carson. Carson is a phenomenal coach, with 15+ years of professional fighting experience. He's able to adapt to every skill level regardless of it's your first day, or you're training for your next pro fight. Coach Joey leads most of the classes if Carson isn't available, (and has his own Muay Thai classes T/TH mornings) and he's another awesome coach who's very experienced and knows how to teach and instruct. Not only is the coaching great, but the team there is awesome. You're not just another number, and it doesn't matter if you're in there to compete or just to have fun. It's a very family oriented gym full of awesome guys and girls. You get a lot of one on one and individualized training and critiquing, along with being able to hang out with a bunch of amazing people. I HIGHLY recommend!
