Marc Renville
"The gym is huge with a very welcoming team. Definitely one of the nicest facilities I've been to. I highly recommend to check them out"
Shannon Rose Farrell-Jackson
"Getting my first belt with Coach Justin was so rewarding. I had never experienced any martial arts training prior to starting in November. Since then I've trained with some of the most honorable and skilled coaches, with fellow fighters who have had years of diverse experiences and styles, and have an incredible time while burning heaps of calories. It feels so good to be in shape, to feel secure and strong in my own body and to know that if needed I could dominate an aggressor and escape. I plan to continue to progress with my belts and to be an outstanding example of feminine strength for my two little girls. LIFE CHANGING - THANK YOU ACADEMY!"
