"Im in South Korea and I’ve been training at a gym called MAD Jiujitsu. The gym has massive mat space and about 40 students at any given class. The instructor is a big Korean black belt former pro fighter and he’s a pretty big deal over here. He has lots of blue/purple belts under him and a few browns. I’m pleased to report that the training we get from Brandon will prepare you to hold your own at most any gym you go to. I’d put Brandon’s quality of training against the best of them. We’re pretty fortunate to have our gym in Fort Scott."

"Great group to train with! I really appreciate the morning class so I can progress in martial arts around my busy schedule. Getting a great workout before work and having the evenings with my family works the best for me. As the club grows it will be able to accommodate the toughest schedules in believe. The instruction is awesome. Lots of one on one development and investment if you put in the effort to learn and progress. I am thankful for The Fort. “When fully understood, the same principles that lead to success in a fight, will lead to success in all areas of life.”"
