What Our Students Say

Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.

Alisha Winegarden

"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."

Leonor Torrens

"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!"

Dustin Jamison

"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!"

Tony Llamas

"My 6 year old daughter has found her happy place. I can not say enough good things about the owners, Coach Matt and Coach Danny. Ericka is amazing too! Good vibes - great people - awesome place"
