What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Houston Lawless
"Solid gym where amazing coaches and martial artists of all kinds gather to share knowledge and better each other. I started here with barely any experience and in terrible physical shape - and in just a few short months not just the coaches, but even the OTHER STUDENTS have worked with me at the pace I need to improve my health, my confidence, and of course my technique. I could not recommend this gym any more highly, this is a place that will not just make you a better martial artist but a better person, neighbor, and friend - if you are open to letting them."
Chelsea
"This MMA gym is seriously great. The coaches are super knowledgeable and down to earth—they make you feel welcome right away. The training is legit, whether you're into striking, grappling, or just want a solid workout. The people here are friendly, no egos, and the vibe is all about learning and getting better together. It's a great mix of challenge and fun, and you can tell everyone really cares. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re looking for a solid place to train and grow."
RE Michal

"Great place for kids! Our daughters have gained so much knowledge, experience, and confidence since starting at Combat Performance. Practicing martial arts has also helped with their other sports/activities. I love that this school focuses on character as well, not just ability. Nick is an excellent coach who has a passion for teaching. Our girls also love the all girls jiu-jitsu class with Emily! All the coaches here really invest in their students."
