If your looking for a MMA and Ju Jitsu school, then this is your place. I've been here since the day it opened and I can easily say it has changed my life. Coach Tom, Stefanie and John are amazing people. Beyond their credentials, their personalities are well suited for coaching. They're patient, kind, encouraging and thorough. They have well thought out courses to help build a solid foundation and then have all the know how to elevate your performance to a higher level if you're ready to put the work in and commit. Step by step, they'll be there with you. They also have an amazing kids class. The kids are always having fun as they learn, creating a great opportunity for them to build discipline, respect and a healthy hobby. The students who go and train there are just the best, hands down. I've never found myself in a group of people who have nothing but support and love for each other like I have found here at Militia MMA. Words of encouragement and fun laughs are abundant here. My home away from home.

Amazing place to train, Tom and Stefani are awesome trainers and really break everything down in a way to easily understand and make you feel at home. Update, after nearly 2 yrs training here I can honestly say this place has me in the best shape of my life, and the training is hands down the best I've ever experienced, I have more ability, endurance, and strength now then I had even in the Army when I was 20, all the instructors are extremely knowledgeable and qualified, Best place to be bar none

When I moved to the area I was looking for a gym that would push me to my limits but be my safe haven. Militia is that, for me. Finding a strong female presence to train under in the sport of Jiu Jitsu is far and few between, and the ladies that train at Milita are some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. We spend time together on and off the mats. We are family, not just training partners. Tom and Stef have such a strong passion for this sport and for MMA, as a whole, that it becomes infectious and addicting. The hardest part is showing up, but I can promise you this: once you start showing up, you'll never want to leave. There's a different type of class for everyone, from Jiu Jitsu to wrestling to boxing to Muy Thai. Militia has everything you're looking for if you're ready to be the best verison of yourself. Tom and Stef expect nothing but the best from their students, and they'll do everything in their power to make sure you feel confident and comfortable. Now GET TO THE MATS 💙💚 #MilitiaMafia

This gym is so well structured and extremely welcoming for new-comers. I’ve trained at other gyms that I’ve left due to trainers having huge egos and focusing only on their “star pupils.” That’s not an issue at all here. I love the way they make it a priority to make you feel like you belong, no matter how much experience you have. It’s an amazing gym. Coaches with tons of experience and knowledge to pass down. 10/10
