"I tried a Muay Thai kickboxing class and Greg and team were clear professionals. The gym was impeccably clean. The equipment was modern and also very clean. There is an atmosphere of kindness and respect. This is not a place of giant egos, but rather discipline, safe practice, and thoughtful leadership. Kudos to Greg and team on a well thought out and sustainable community."
"My 12-year old son and I visited my brother for the first time since he opened the gym and decided to take a class. First off, the space is very clean, well organized, and in good shape. It's obvious as soon as you walk in that as the owner/operator he wants the best environment for his students. The session itself was engaging, informative, and structured appropriately. We had two instructors, my brother and another gentleman. Both of them (as well as the students) were very helpful as two first-timers worked our way through the class. You could clearly see the positive and supportive culture that has been created. We had a great time and could see how much he cared about the kids and their families."
"My husband and I enrolled our young daughters ages 3 & 4 in the Junior Champs program, and admitedly were apprehensive at first… this program has been nothing short of amazing. I am so thankful and impressed each week with the coaching staff, Coach Chris, Coach LaDonna, and the weekly helpers (forgive me on not having everyone’s name) are devoted to the success of each student, new or old. The coaches provide constructive feedback and praise when deserved. My girls have developed an identifiable increase in their self-confidence, which is exactly what we were looking for. They work hard, they are taught more than just the techniques, respect and the benefits of hard work are engrained in this program. I am so thankful we found Northville Gracie and highly recommend this program for your kids. My husband also does the adult program and has had great experiences with Professor Greg, who devotes ample time to his students and ensuring their success."
"Amazing! These guys have a great space with fantastic instructors. Clean gym, friendly atmosphere, 5 stars all the way. Really appreciate your hospitality. Check out this wonderful academy, you won't be disappointed 👍👍👍👍👍"
