I joined back in March of 2024. The reason was because I wanted to learn how to fight and be confident in myself. Overtime, I got very fit and became more confident. I participated in a tournament and fell more in love with the sport. Even during a small period when I was out of training, I still kept the discipline of wanting to stay fit and healthy. This gym has great coaching and a great atmosphere and it has helped me to become the best version of myself.
I have 3 kids ranging in age from 11 to 19 and they all attend this gym. It’s been a really positive place for all three of them. I have seen tremendous physical growth and confidence, but also mental discipline. I appreciate that coach Nick teaches life skills too, like confidence, hygiene, and even how to clean the mats. My kids have really connected with coach Nick and the community he’s created, which is welcoming, encouraging, and supportive. I truly never thought I’d be an mma mom, but the mental, physical, and emotional maturity I’ve seen develop in my three very different children has been really incredible. I am grateful we stumbled across this gym. It’s really made a huge positive impact for my kids.
Great gym. Show up ready for some martial arts. On day one, I was thrown into the mix of all the various levels and was given direction to participate and have learned so much over the course of my 4 months participating at this gym. Im grateful for the skills I've gained. This is a small business, veteran owned, making all the right moves to make sure the students are given the tools needed to properly understand martial arts. It is no easy feat, but it is worth the time spent to practice in this environment. Bravo Zulu, Coach! Nick.
It’s been 4 months since I joined MMA Bravo Zulu and this is my first time practicing martial arts. I would say this has been one of the greatest experiences and things I learned. Before working out was “to burn calories and to stay active” but after joining MMA Bravo Zulu and learning jiu jitsu and muay thai, I have found purpose and joy in working out and learning jiu jitsu and muay thai. Coach Nick’s teaching and interaction with the class makes it easier to learn and enjoy yourself. He makes sure to explain and demonstrate every thing and come back to it if needed. He will point out and correct what you are doing and it’s always very helpful. And everyone in the gym is respectful and helpful, pointing out important tips during class when you’re drilling together. I competed in my first competition a few weeks ago and using the skills I learned in class in real life scenario and being placed 2nd was very rewarding. This is all thanks to Coach Nick. Highly recommend MMA Bravo Zulu for whoever wanting to learn martial arts!
