I can’t say enough good things about this place! First off, the parking situation is fantastic—plenty of great and safe parking available, which is a huge relief. They have a dedicated kids' playroom, so while parents focus on their Jiu Jitsu classes, their kids are happily occupied, allowing for peace of mind. This gym is the cleanest place I’ve ever seen; it’s evident that the owners take pride in maintaining an immaculate environment. The classes offered are exceptional, catering to all skill levels, and I particularly appreciate the women’s open mats and classes that foster a supportive community. What truly sets this place apart is their commitment to giving back. They actively work with the community to collect used gear for underprivileged families, which speaks volumes about their values. The owners are personable and respectful, making everyone feel welcome and part of the family. If you’re looking for a gym that combines quality training with a strong sense of community, I highly recommend training here.

I can't recommend Combate Academy enough! Super welcoming vibe from the second you walk in. Everyone from the coaches to the students was friendly, down-to-earth, and helpful. No ego, just a bunch of people who love jiu-jitsu and want to help each other get better. The gym itself is really clean. Mats were spotless, and the whole place just felt well taken care of. They have lockers rooms for women/men separate from bathrooms. Can tell they put effort into creating a good training environment. Whether you're brand new or have some experience, this place makes you feel like you belong. I love Combate Academy, definitely recommend!

Combate Academy is truly an incredible place to train! The facility is always spotless, showing the care and dedication put into maintaining a top-tier training environment. The coaching is second to none—knowledgeable, patient, and committed to helping everyone improve. My daughters and I both train here, and we consider it our home. The people are extremely welcoming, making it a fantastic community for beginners and experienced practitioners alike. If you’re looking for high-level training in a friendly, supportive atmosphere, this is the place to be!

Absolutely LOVE this place! I tried several schools in the area after moving here and Combate Academy is the best by far. The environment, cleanliness, and attention are unmatched. I attend the morning and evening adult classes, as well as yoga. There is a great variety of skill levels from elite competitors to brand new hobbyists and everything in between. There is also an active group of women who are incredibly supportive of one another! My daughter attends the homeschool classes and we are extremely happy with that program as well! As a curriculum designer and former teacher/coach myself, I can admit to being extremely picky about teaching styles and class environments, so believe me when I say that the kids coaches are FANTASTIC and leave me with no concerns. They have also been extremely accommodating to her disabilities, taking extra care to check in with her and work with her 1:1 when needed. As a parent and athlete, I absolutely could not be happier with Combate Academy and would recommend it to anyone.
