Josh Cogan
"From Hickory originally, visiting for the weekend. Fenix has such a great atmosphere, coaching, and training partners! Welcoming atmosphere. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!"
Leilani Facun
"Fantastic jiu-jitsu gym! I was visiting from Asheville and immediately felt welcomed by the friendly and supportive atmosphere. The mat space is spacious and clean, providing a great training environment. Angela’s instruction was top-notch—she taught excellent techniques and was open to covering anything we wanted to learn. Cindy at the front desk was incredibly sweet and helpful, answering all my questions. Great people all around! I can’t wait to return to Hickory and train here again!"
Alfredo Cifredo, Jr.
"My job requires me to travel frequently, and I am constantly looking for new places to train and learn. Throughout my time in Hickory, NC, this academy made me a part of its community. A great facility, excellent coaching and an amazing community for practicing martial arts safely. Highly recommended."
Dustin Chase
"When I travel for work my first thought is where to roll when away from home. I called ahead and Jason was more than inviting. I attended the fundamentals and all levels classes with Jason, Angela and Andrew. The instructionals and drills were clear with good guidance. The partners and live rolls were all very friendly but competitive and the space was large and clean. If you are looking for a school in this area, please do yourself a service and come here. Thank you for mat time guys! -DC"
