"I've been raving about this place for years to friends but realized I should also write a review for other folks to know. Parents- this place is amazing for kids. Our kid has been enrolled for a couple years and we have been beyond thrilled with our experience. Coach Maiston is AMAZING with kids. He meets them where they're at, and strikes a great balance of challenging them, but also not being over bearing. We love how right away, even with such a small introduction to skills, they had my son sparring/wrestling with the other kids. I've seen how having the kids just jump right in helps when to understand what they're being taught and gives them a chance to learn from the other kids through the experience of rolling with them. The kids and culture is very sweet, very supportive. A great blend of being laid back sufficient to allow kids space to learn without feeling overwhelmed, but also opportunities to be well challenged."
"An amazing combat gym with expert coached for all disciplines. Our kids have been training here for years and love everything about it! We will be members here for life!"
"My daughter likes going here. It's improved her confidence in terms of interacting with people outside of her family. The coaches are knowledgeable and patient. The people that come here to practice their craft vary in age group, but all seem to share the desire to help each other improve. Highly recommend taking your kids here, even if they are not in any official fighting competition."
"I have trained at multiple mma/Muay Thai gyms, yet I have never had an experience quite like this, Faction combative a is an okay gym, but after being told that I would only want to pay for a one time one month membership, I was still charged for another month. It’s absurd that the only response I had received after reaching out early in the month to verify my memebership was canceled, was “we require a 30 day cancellation notice” which had been sent to me later near the end of the month . I had already told them initially that I only am paying for a month. I was charged for over 100 dollars of services that I hadn’t used and can’t use since I don’t live in Arizona, and had only been there to visit. This is outrageous and I’m still shocked at the lackluster assistance, and blatant inconsideration, I’m no wealthy person and I want to use fighting as an avenue to better my life; it gets hard to do that when people go pulling this kind of things when I already don’t have much money to my name. be careful signing up with these guys, I won’t put it down but I definitely won’t recommend it."
