Spent two weeks training at JacksonWink and it was like Disneyland. I initially stopped by just to ask if I was allowed to peek inside. I was filled with anxiety and excitement to find out I can easily train there everyday of the week (for a price). I went to all the 6pm - 7pm classes. Every class was packed full of great techniques and valuable information. You'll stand side by side with some of the most talented MMA fighters in the world and you'll learn from legends of the sport (1st class was with Joey Villasenor and I couldn't even contemplate I was seeing this man in real life. I'd seen him

Moved here from houston back in November to take my training to the next level. The staff does a top notch job of ensuring cleanliness and keeping the gym and cafe up to standard all the time. I especially love how the gym is handling Covid, we all had to get tested to resume training and after fights in order to prevent the spread. When it comes to mma, the staff here is comprised of a wide range of fighters and coaches each with different areas of expertise that allow any style of fighter to walk through the doors and form a team around them to optimize their abilities. Would highly recommend
