I’ve been a member of this gym for 5+ years so I’m obviously very happy with it. I love the classes consisting of technique training and then the optional striking sparring and BJJ rolling. The people are great as well. MMA people are kind, hard working, and very helpful. Coach Jeff Neal has been doing this his whole life, both as an MMA fighter himself and currently as a coach. Whether your goals are fitness or MMA expertise, Coach Jeff will get you there.

Carlson Gracie Aurora is the best place to train in. I personally owe all my gratitude and respect to this place for not only giving me a place to train but teaching me how to stay dedicated to all my goals. Jeff Neal is such an amazing coach with a very vast knowledge of MMA, boxing and Brazilian ju jitsu. He teaches so everyone from beginners all the way to the professional level and provides the best training to their ability. All around a great human being. I personally owe Lorenzo Clark the head Muay Thai coach everything and has made my passion for Muay Thai even stronger has been a mentor and a and gone above and beyond as a coach. I've learned how to practice Muay Thai and my all around training thanks to him. This gym is more than just a place to come and get a work out it's a family and I've been accepted and treated amazing since I've joined. I highly recommend if you want to either learn for the first time or advance your traing in BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing, mma or all the above come to this gym you won't regret it. Like I've said it's more than a team it's a family I'm so very grateful to be a part of!!!
