*Update* New location is awesome and way better for parking. Fight Academy strikes a perfect balance between family-friendly accessibility, and high level competitive training. As a professional fighter myself, I'm always impressed with the staff and the fighters I'm training alongside. Everyone at the gym understands the concept of taking care of your teammates, which means if you're new the more experienced people won't be trying to destroy you which is an issue that the majority of MMA gyms have unfortunately. If you're just starting out, a seasoned fighter, looking to get in shape ect. Fight
