My family has been attending various classes at Faction Combat Gym for about 2years. All of the classes have been amazing.<br>We started my youngest child in the MMA class with Maiston Hattery because he was being bullied at school. As a concerned mom, I wanted my child to have the confidence and skills to properly defend himself. Maiston is extremely kind and works well with all of the children there.<br>Recently, my kiddo decided he wanted to try the Kids BJJ class with Brenden Richardson. Brenden is another amazing instructor. He is always patient with the kids and keeps them actively engaged by adding in a "ninja course" game during class. The kids love it. My child loves attending the classes and making friends here.<br>I also started taking the MMA and BJJ classes here. The instructors I have worked with are phenomenal. I decided to try out a few classes to add into my regular gym routine. As an older woman trying martial arts for
I've been raving about this place for years to friends but realized I should also write a review for other folks to know. Parents- this place is amazing for kids. Our kid has been enrolled for a couple years and we have been beyond thrilled with our experience. Coach Maiston is AMAZING with kids. He meets them where they're at, and strikes a great balance of challenging them, but also not being over bearing. We love how right away, even with such a small introduction to skills, they had my son sparring/wrestling with the other kids. I've seen how having the kids just jump right in helps when to understand what they're being taught and gives them a chance to learn from the other kids through the experience of rolling with them. The kids and culture is very sweet, very supportive. A great blend of being laid back sufficient to allow kids space to learn without feeling overwhelmed, but also opportunities to be well challenged.
If you're looking for a place to learn Krav Maga you need to visit this place. Come try a week. It's a place where there are no attitudes except good attitudes, the instruction is very good, very thorough and Steve, the instructor, is very knowledgeable in Krav as well as several other fighting methods. He is great about explaining why techniques work the way they do or even why a certain technique may not be such a great choice and that's based on his vast experience in all of this stuff including defending against a knife attack. You will also get a great work out when you start the session. I watch Steve work with kids in the class that is ending when we get there. He is very good with kids and they are all ages. My wife and I went ahead and signed up for a full quarter after the free week. We will be here for a long time. You can also do MMA, BJJ, Kickboxing and Knife Defense classes. If you are thinking about doing any of this come
I have been a member of Faction Combative since February. In my experience, this MMA gym stands out for its exceptional community and training environment. The instructors and fellow members foster a supportive, family-like atmosphere where everyone looks out for each other. Additionally, the gym offers outstanding value, with rates that are more affordable than other MMA facilities in the area. I highly recommend Faction Combative to anyone seeking high-quality MMA training in a welcoming and encouraging setting.
Steve is amazing. When I first took a complimentary class, I noticed a few things. First; the people working out and the instructors were very welcoming. Second; as the class started, I could tell Steve was extremely knowledgably in the subject area. His teaching style was one of patience, guidance and motivation. Third; the gym was clean and full of equipment. The whole workout from beginning to end was incredible. I was hooked the first 30 minutes in. I signed up immediately and have been enjoying the workouts and meeting new people ever since. Amazing place.
I’m really happy being a member at Faction. I’ve learned so much and I’m more confident in my skills to defend myself. Steve is a great instructor, super knowledgeable, detailed and patient. Classmates are really friendly and helpful too. It’s a laid back environment and Steve breaks all the techniques down so they are easy to understand. It’s fun to see how much kids love his class too! I’ve had an awesome experience and I definitely recommend this gym!
