What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Erica McLaurin
"My son regularly attends the Red River gym, but you are able to go to any gym in their system. I love the Alexandria gym because they accepted my son to train with open arms. They didn’t skip a beat to show him how they train and the other students welcomed him too. The space was clean and easy to find. The instructors were so upbeat and happy and you could tell they love what they do!"
Haley Vickers
"All 3 three owners and instructors are amazing people. They care for you like family and very professional. The facility is nice and clean. A wonderful place to bring your family (adults and children) for training. Safe and welcoming."
Rick Below
"The best and only place to train in Alexandria. Knowledgeable instructors and a clean environment. They make you feel like you are part of the family the moment you walk in the door."
Blake Lavespere
"Great group of guys! I am from New Orleans and was passing through Alexandria. Stopped for the open mat. I didn’t have clothes and Professor Philip was kind enough to lend me everything I needed. One of the warmest and most welcoming gyms I have ever been to. Awesome rolls with high level grapplers."
