What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Ryan Sutedja
"Awesome place!! I’ve been training No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu here as a total beginner with no previous martial arts experience for about 2 months now, and I have to say, the coaches and students have been so nice to me and it's been really welcoming. Coach Justen is a skilled teacher and attentive to all of the students. They also offer Muay Thai, BJJ (Gi and No-Gi), wrestling and MMA classes which is a great variety of martial arts if you are trying to expand your skills. Beyond the teaching and students, the place is very clean, organized, and Cherie has always helped me out with all my questions about the gym. I would recommend Modern to anybody regardless of skill level."
Ivan Becerra
"Absolutely love this place! Was originally nervous about joining a martial arts gym but the people and coaches make you feel right at home. Justen is an excellent coach and the people around you are always willing to help. The culture and community in this gym is truly one of a kind. If you are interested in getting in shape and/or meeting some great people, I would highly recommend Modern!"
Laura Borquez
"An amazing experience! I was nervous to try martial arts as a more petite female, but joining Modern Martial Arts & Fitness was the best decision for me! Justen and Cherie are so welcoming and each training is challenging and organized. All of the people here are friendly and supportive. I always look forward to Muay Thai trainings here which is the perfect way to end a long day. This experience has made me feel much stronger and confident after only a month. Would highly recommend anyone who is interested in martial arts!"
Chew Ren
"Huge thanks to the amazing team at modern martial art for their incredible hospitality. We are from Malaysia and going to Las Vegas for World Masters. The atmosphere here is friendly and welcoming, making it a fantastic place to train. A special shoutout to Instructor Justen for his clear, methodical, and precise teaching. The live training sessions are active and engaging—I’d give it a 6-star rating if I could! Oss! 🌟"
