A fantastic atmosphere for someone who is looking to get started in martial arts. As soon as you walk in the door, the staff is incredibly warm and helpful. From your first class, it is abundantly clear that the instructors truly care about the development of each and every person.

I took the Women's Empowerment class and had such an incredible experience. The coaches were all so genuine and helpful. I learned so much and now walk with more confidence knowing I can protect myself if ever necessary. Thank you all!!

I highly recommend training here! Great gym, great culture, and great people! The instructors are very knowledgeable and are very helpful. The jiu jitsu classes with Wesley and Matt are awesome and I have learned plenty of great techniques.

Absolutely loved the 6-week Women's Only Empowerment series. Mr. Dave was AMAZING to work with, explained everything very well, and gave us adjustments along the way. He made everyone in the class feel more than comfortable and was encouraging throughout the entire process. The class is very beginner friendly, but also great if you just need a refresh on self-defense. I will highly recommend this to all the ladies in my life. The skills taught are great to have in your toolbox, they're easily built upon, and they're... get ready for it.... EMPOWERING. It's truly confidence-building when you realize you can do something you never though you could or would. Will def be back to the all levels classes to keep up the practice!

Just finished the 6 week women’s empowerment class series! I would 100% recommend this class to any and every woman and girl. I was nervous going in the first time - not knowing what to expect. I was immediately greeted by a staff member and shown where to go. I went to the majority of the classes by myself, and I would encourage anyone who is reading to go even if it’s by yourself. You’ll meet some great people while learning how to protect yourself. Dave, the instructor, is great. I was definitely putting myself out of my comfort zone by going, but Dave made me feel comfortable with his encouragement. After finishing the last class, I can certainly say that I feel empowered!
