Member stories
Heard on the mats.
"I walked in with zero experience and a lot of nerves. Six months later I've lost 30 pounds and had my first amateur Muay Thai bout."
Chris M.
Member since 2025
"The coaches care about technique over ego. Sparring is hard but controlled, and I've never felt unsafe."
Priya S.
BJJ blue belt
"Joining the fight team changed my career. The camp structure here is as good as anything I've seen in bigger cities."
Andre T.
Pro featherweight, 7–1
"I signed up to learn self-defence and stayed for the people. The beginner track made the first month feel doable, not scary."
Megan L.

Questions Before you
Before you
walk in
Still unsure? Our front desk replies to every message within one working day.
Ask us anythingDo I need any experience to start?
None at all. Most of our members started as complete beginners. Fundamentals classes teach stance, movement and basic technique before any contact.
Will I have to spar?
Only if you want to. Sparring is optional and limited to dedicated sessions. Coaches will clear you once you're ready.
What should I bring to my first class?
Athletic clothing, a water bottle and a towel. We'll lend you gloves and shin guards for your trial. For BJJ, a rash guard and shorts are fine.
Is there a minimum age?
Adult programs are for ages 16 and over. Members aged 16–17 need a parent or guardian to sign the waiver.
Can I freeze my membership?
Yes. You can pause for up to three months per year for travel, injury or any other reason, free of charge.
