Diana Saenz

"NWD is one of the best places I have ever been. The coaches are caring and strong, the ambient feels safe and super clean. Just be ready to work hard and have some new respect for self defense. Thank you to all the coaches and to Alexis and Juan you have a remarkable place here."

Dylam

Erika Kopyta

"NWSD is an amazing gym! Amazing group of people, very diverse, inclusive, clean. The coaches are incredibly knowledge, talented, and work with your learning style! 10/10."

Rachel McIntyre

"My family and I have been training at this gym for nearly three years now. It is a great gym, with diverse training options: Boxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, Kettlebell Sport, Crossfit, etc. The owners, Juan & his wife Alexis are constantly working to make the gym the best it can be. They care about each of their members like family. This gym is literally their life. They take pride in selecting and training excellent coaches & trainers for their programs. Coaches conduct themselves professionally, provide an atmosphere of acceptance, and are great resources for information to supplement or support your goals. Unlike other gyms that can have an atmosphere that is uncomfortable, cliquish, or overly competitive, New World really does offer a different feeling. If you are looking for a top notch fitness facility that offers a wide variety of training options alongside others who are friendly, motivated and committed to their goals, New World is the place for you."
