This is a great gym, I would recommend anyone who is interested in starting or continuing their training to check it out! I believe the gym is great for several reasons. Coach Cate is a top notch teacher who keeps the students engaged, learning new techniques, motivated, safe and having a good time. The gym caters to hobbyists and pros/amateur fighters alike. The students are great, with a range of people of different walks of life with varying fitness levels and skills levels. This is one of the only places in town I know of that focuses entirely on No Gi. There is a focus on ground technique's and stand up techniques. The price is unbeatable.

Josh has an unmatched work ethic when it comes to coaching and his dedication to his athletes. Whether you want to compete, train as a hobby, or do a bit of both, Cate’s is the place to be. Also, Josh’s sports psychology expertise blends well with his decades of experience in the martial arts. It’s because of this that he can serve as a coach, teacher, and fellow athlete so well. I think the most special part about this gym is the level of respect between members. Respect isn’t given— it’s earned. But it’s authentic and earned simply through showing up and giving 100% like everyone else is. I wouldn’t wanna train anywhere else!

Josh is a great instructor who is extremely easy to talk to and very helpful especially as a beginner. Everyone in the classes is super supportive and wants to see each other succeed. If you are looking to actually get better and get quality coaching definitely check out this gym.

Josh Cate's gym is incredible. Josh welcomed me as a complete novice and fosters an environment of high level instruction paired with mutual respect between all gym-goers. Aside from being a master of his craft, Josh is one of the best coaches I've had in 10+ years of athletics, who genuinely wants to see you succeed in whatever your aspirations are. Consider becoming a part of this safe space to struggle.

I came to Cates's as a 38 year old guy brand new to martial arts. Joining this gym was, without a doubt, one of the best decisions I've made. For over two years now, I leave every class and open mat feeling glad that I showed up and put in the work. Coach and my teammates are highly valued and I welcome anyone who wants to come in and train to improve their lives on multiple fronts.
