Preaches acceptance on the website but judges you harshly if you don't walk on egg shells. I was told I cannot train cause I didn't say " Thank you " to people at the end of class. And I won't be given a 2nd chance. I have never met someone this petty before. It's a waste too cause I'm a dedicated martial artist with 5 years of Muay Thai experience. I have won competitions with the IKF.

I decided to practice for a couple of months before reviewing this gym, even though I knew from my first class I was staying here. I have some experience from years ago at a different school so I had an idea of what to expect. This gym, team and coach are phenomenal. The camaraderie is unmatched. This team is full of support and positivity. Coach Prue is a true martial artist on and off the mat. You will not meet another coach with the same support he has for his students. A genuine guy with a tremendous understanding of bjj and an extraordinary style of teaching it.

Ive been to a few martial arts academies over the years, and this is by far the best place to train. Coach is very passionate about good technique, safety and helping each individual to reach their goals. You wont find the high tuition, belt testing gimmick, or feel pushed to buy merchandise like the local McDojos. The teammates are truly a mirror of Coachs leadership, and that says a lot to me personally.

Very good gym to train at. Coach is very knowledgeable and invested in the success of his students . If you compete in anything you are never alone if he cant make it there himself (very rarely that he cant ) he will ensure one of his upper belts will. I have enjoyed my martial arts journey here and will continue coming , and you can not beat the value if being a member here.

I absolutely love combat fitness. From the first day I came in the environment was always friendly and loving. I loved that it was a safe space to learn how to defend yourself and to build trust with others. Meeting Coach Graeme was one of the best things that could have happened for me. Through his coaching and leadership I was able to compete and win. He is an amazing coach that cares about the people who attend his gym. Not just to train them but he takes the time to talk and get to know people on a personal level and helps them fight through whatever troubles they had when they came. If you
