What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Matt Zuniga
"Dropped in August 2023 for a 0600hrs class and had a great time. Great atmosphere, solid rolls, good attitudes. I travel to Rhode Island every year, this will be my go to gym when I am there. Nothing but love and respect. Drop in fee was super reasonable, but it was waived and they refused to let me pay so I supported by purchasing a couple shirts and leaving an honest review because that's the right thing to do. I would gladly pay the drop in fee anytime I train there. Thanks and see you in the summer, again. Highly recommend this gym"
Mauro Ayres

"I've been training for over 7 years and LOVE it! It's an community. A bunch of eclectic folks who workout and train together and enjoy each others company. The instructors are great. It's clean and bright and open. There is a ton of mat space and everybody makes anybody feel very welcomed. I've met a TON of great people over the years and consider it one of my great enjoyments. If you are looking to compete, to learn self defense or looking for a new and challenging workout you will definitely find it here. If you are mildly curious come check it out....you'll be hooked! -Dr. John Flaherty"
