What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Amber & Mark Bouwkamp
"I love that they offered a free trial before requiring us to commit financially! My daughter fell in love after the first night; going nearly every night that she could. When it was time to commit, I appreciate that they give options that can be adjusted for our family's schedule. Coach Josh is great with all of the different ages and experience levels that participate. My daughter says he teaches in a way she can easily understand. We look forward to seeing her skills develop."
Dawson Nibbelink
"I’ve been training at Rivers Edge and it’s been an awesome experience. The coaches are skilled, the atmosphere is welcoming, and everyone helps each other grow. Whether you’re new or experienced, this is a great place to train and get better every day."
Jacob White
"I have trained here for a couple of years now after training in multiple other gyms over the last 15+ years. The people here are great and I always get a good workout and have a good time. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn grappling or striking, or if you just want to have a fun workout and meet some wonderful people."
Brian Wood
"Highly recommend taking advantage of the two week free trial. We did for our 10 year old son. He was hooked and found his passion from the first class! Josh and his assistant coaches do an amazing job. They do a great job teaching all kids at varying skill level. My son has developed a true passion and love for the sport!"
