Elias Fortoso
"Outstanding facility! Clean mats, clean restroom, clean lockers. Great instructors. I've been in contact with Professor Curran for years. Finally visited and was amazed. Very professional. Pedro Sauer lineage!"
Ambrocio Avitia
"Love it great gym, great instructors, family oriented very kid friendly and a very well rounded MMA Academy. My loves that gym and has done wonders for my teenage daughter, and my oldest daughter. I definitely recommend this Academy for everyone."
Paul Gurnig
"Top notch place. Great instruction. Fun, safe, well-structured and challenging classes. Team Curran helped me say goodbye to 30 lbs in three months. Because of my schedule I don't typically attend Jeff's classes; he still knows me by name and will always take time to ask how classes are going. For me, that goes a long way and shows how interested he is in everyone coming through the doors. Chuck and Corey do a great job teaching classes -- depending on when you go, classes can be larger or smaller. Being a little older beginner student didn't matter a bit. There are people of all ages here, and I felt very welcomed from the first time I walked through the door."
Paulo Matias
"Jeff the owner was and others were kind enough to let me drop in months ago while I was visiting family in the nearby area from Florida. It was a pleasure to train in such a nice facility with a wide mix of skill levels and very kind staff/students. A big thank you to Jeff and everyone else for the hospitality."
