5 star review because I absolutely love training here. Jiu jitsu has become a very special part of my life thanks to Fighteria. The benefits I have experienced both mentally and physically secondary to jiu jitsu is what makes me relentless about never giving it up. The coaches and training partners here are like family, nothing but positivity and fellowship. The facilities are top quality. Thanks Fighteria, looking forward to continuing to grow in Jiu jitsu here

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff, with a nice atmosphere from all the other students. Facilities are A+ and exactly what I was looking for. Instruction is on-point, and regardless of skill level, has something for everyone. Both my 13yr old and 15 yr old boys attend classes too, and while hesitant at first, absolutely love going and training. If you have interest, give it a roll with the 2 free sessions offered and see if the fit is right for you. Great for boys and girls of all ages (44 here)!

I had a great experience at Fighteria! They have friendly staff and patient coaches. The coaches will help push you to work harder without being harsh. The large and well kept mat and gym are a big plus too! Feel free to try out their free two classes, like I did, if you're interested at all. You might really like it!

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! If you plan to signup your child for FIGHTERIA classes, especially one who is younger and not sure if this is their sport, than KNOW THIS! If they decide they dont like the program then you have to FIRST give them ONE month notice THEN they also require you to pay TWO MORE months of membership so thats a total of $360 dollars!!! I understand an adult being able to make that commitment, but for a 7 year old? Just way too extreme. So yes... as you can figure... I am out $360 dollars. They will let you (your child) continue to practice during that time! But if you

Ive been training martial arts on and off for years. Fighteria offers professional level instruction from PoneY that is hard to find anywhere else. For the price you also get top notch, experienced training from strength and conditioning coach Michael that is adjusted to all levels without letting you off the hook too easy. They have a great community and great work ethic and the gym. Lots of gyms can get cliquey but I felt at home day one. The gym is big, lots of bags and room to move around and train. I walked in august 2020 at 237 pounds and now Im at 195! The combination of technique
