The experience I've had at the academy has changed my life. I've been studying Bjj for 7 months and have lost 30 lbs. All the coaches are very hands on and friendly. Everyone there is very nice and respectful. So if your looking to start a martial art I highly recommend coming to the academy.

It all started when I decided I wanted to have a better exercise regimen. I was unsatisfied with working out in a regular fitness gym, I worked in health care, and I understand that their primary culture was to live it. I was all for it, and it did spark me to get in gear. I was due for another weight loss, I gained too much from not enough exercise and I was tired of dragging around my spare tire.

I have been training at The Academy for the last 3 years in private lessons and classes. I remember being one of the three women in classes and you are treated very well. I'm happy to see that more women are joining classes and I think overall it's a fun experience and you're learning to defend yourself!

I have to say this was one of the better choices I have made for my physical fitness and having played high impact sports all my life, this was a great fit. I lost 40lbs in the first 6 months, and then another 20lbs in a year. I was very committed to coming because the curriculum is interesting, the coaches are positive, awesome, and push you to do the best you can. The members that are there are very kind, friendly, dedicated and supportive.

You will be challenged and pushed, this gym isn't for people that are not committed in making a real lifestyle change.  They offer you a potential to really see what you're made of.  It is hard for a reason, and the coaches and people that are there are willing to get you to your goals.

You will find some of the hardest working and passionate individuals at this gym.

I really have appreciated what I have been able to accomplish at The Academy, and I will continue to attend The Academy as long as I can.

I dropped in for the Friday 7pm no-gi BJJ class while visiting from out of town.  The instructor Matt was extremely welcoming and introduced me to the class.  His class was challenging yet suitable for all ranges of experience and he provided great personal feedback to all students.  Great atmosphere and an incredible facility!

I started my martial arts training here before moving out of state. I come train here sporadically when I'm in town, and I'm always happy that I attend; the instructors greet me by name, and the students in the class are focused and make great training partners. The professor/instructor attention to detail is wonderful. I enjoy learning a style different from my 'home' school. 

I'd recommend The Academy to anyone!  Thank you for your awesome hospitality!

I've been in the MMA Foundations class for about four months.  I've lost weight, learned a lot, and have had a lot of fun.  I've met several instructors - all seem great.  Jack Wu runs the Foundations class, and does a fantastic job teaching a group with a wide range of sizes, skills and experience.  His private lessons offer a great workout while learning several practical skills.  I recommend his Foundations class highly for anybody looking for a great workout without realizing you are working out (it's that fun), anybody looking to learn self-defense tactics, and anybody thinking of eventually competing.
