What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ellie Barr
"I can't say enough great things about Combate. My son started Kindergarten in the Fall and really needed an outlet for his energy after school. Luckily, I found Combate. My 6 yo son has grown in so many ways, not just in physical strength, but in his ability to cope with losing for example. The core values being taught in each lesson are amazing too (solidarity, sportsmanship, respect, etc.). As a mother, I am so grateful for the compassion Prof. Lima and Mr. Will give to their students each day. I 100% recommend Combate to parents who are interested in starting their child in martial arts!"
Trevor Tardanico
"Professor Lima has created an incredibly welcoming and supportive community that goes beyond jiu-jitsu. His lessons not only refine our skills on the mat but also teach valuable principles applicable to everyday life. He helps his students grow as both technicians and individuals. I started earlier this year and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m grateful to learn from such a skilled and inspiring instructor!"
Dan Gaunya
"This gym is fantastic, Alan has a very in depth knowledge of jiu jitsu that only comes from someone who is incredibly passionate about the art. He pushes you to grow and learn while still having fun, the gym has an easy going and welcoming environment"
Paul Girard
"My son has been comming to this school for six months now when he first started he was shy and had no confidence. Since being here professor lima has worked with him and the class to gain confidence in themselves. He also takes the time to teach them skills and discipline. I have noticed a big change in my son .he now has confidence .I as well take adult classes here and I love the fact that professor takes the time to teach us proper skills .I highly recommend this school for children and adults ."
