Our children take self defense with fusion combat and we are pleased with how much they have learned and how they continue to grow. Coach Jesse and coach Pedro create a great environment that focuses on technical skills, advocacy, responsibility and respect - skills we see our kids carry in and outside of their lessons. While our children took martial arts before Fusion Combat - their previous experience in large classes that focused on kicking speed challenges and kicking and punching through wood fell short. Fusion Combat is the best martial arts experience we have had so far. If you are looking for a great opportunity for your children to learn martial arts and learn how to be responsible community members and leaders, I highly recommend Fusion Combat.

It was a whole different experience for me to train Muay Thai here. My other trainees were nice, and the coach managed us all with ease. Thank you very much!

Jesse is awesome! We took the orientation class and my daughter learned so much in an hour it was amazing! I highly recommend this program because the teaching style and philosophy behind it are so beneficial and it teaches a young lady how to not only defend herself, but self esteem and discipline as well!

My two boys have enjoyed the classes very much. They have learned great techniques for defense and it has helped them with discipline and self confidence and above all to burn off some energy! They love it every time we come!! I totally recommend these classes!

Lot of fun. Jesse is a great instructor and will work with your schedule. Once you get comfortable with the basics and begin grappling and striking drills with other students, the classes become way more rewarding and practical.

Fusion combat is a great place to learn applicable self defense and meet cool people. The instructors do a great job teaching no matter what your skill level.

The best decision I made was to take the first step to see what this is all about. Short story - some history with martial arts. In comparison to Fusion, it was really more like a kick boxing class. A little older so the '70's body and skills have long since resigned. With Fusion, you will find movement with a purpose and the stepping stones to grow physically and mentally. It will build coordination, physical fitness and confidence. You will find professionalism and fun with everyone working toward the same goals and supporting each other along the way. That only comes from great leadership. If my schedule would allow, I would be there daily! I encourage everyone to check out Fusion. It is a place that I have sought for a long time. Simply put, It Fits!

Finding the Right MMA Gym for You

January 8, 2018

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that combines striking and grappling techniques from various martial arts. It has become increasingly popular in recent years, with more and more people looking to get involved. However, if you’re just starting out, it can be difficult to know where to begin when it comes to finding the right MMA gym for you. Here are some tips on how to find a good MMA gym.  Ready to begin your martial arts journey? Find the perfect training path at Fusion Combat Training Center!

Do Your Research

The first step in finding a good MMA gym is doing your research. Look online for reviews of local gyms and read up on what other people have said about them. You should also check out the gyms’ websites and social media pages to get an idea of what kind of classes they offer and what their atmosphere is like. This will help you narrow down your options and make sure that you find a gym that meets your needs.

Ask Around

Another great way to find a good MMA gym is by asking around. Talk to friends or family members who train in MMA or who have trained in the past, and see if they can recommend any gyms in your area. You can also ask people at local martial arts schools or even at your local sports store if they know of any good MMA gyms nearby. This will give you an idea of which gyms are popular among experienced fighters, as well as which ones may be better suited for beginners.

Visit Different Gyms

Once you’ve done your research and asked around, it’s time to visit different gyms and see which one feels right for you. Make sure that the gym has experienced instructors who can teach you proper technique, as well as a safe environment where you can train without fear of injury or intimidation from other students. Also look for a gym that offers classes at different levels so that you can progress at your own pace without feeling overwhelmed or left behind by more advanced students.

Evaluate Schedules

As you schedule visits at different gyms in your area, make sure they have a schedule that fits your needs. When you first begin training, you’ll want to train only 2 to 3 classes a week to allow for recovery time. But if your schedule is less consistent, you’ll want to make sure that your gym of choice has a schedule that suites you. Look for multiple daytime, evening, and weekend options.

Understand Membership Options

Many gyms only offer 1 membership type: unlimited classes for an extended period of time. If a gym requires a long term membership (6-month, 12-month, etc.), you’ll want to be careful. Giving long term options for a discount is certainly reasonable. It can also motivate you to continue your training at times. But if your gym doesn’t allow a month-to-month option, you may want to choose another gym. In addition, a good school with a more robust schedule should have tiered options for the number of classes per week or per month. Someone who attends only 2 classes per week shouldn’t have to pay as much as the competitor training 8 classes per week. Good questions to ask include:

  • Can I makeup a missed class?
  • Can I freeze my membership?
  • What discounts are available?
  • How do I schedule classes?
  • What classes or class times fit my experience level?
  • What is the cancelation policy?

Check Out Online Resources

Finally, don’t forget about online resources such as YouTube videos or online forums where experienced fighters share their advice on training and technique. These resources can be invaluable when it comes to learning about different styles of MMA and getting tips from experienced fighters who have been there before you. Plus, many online resources are free, so they won’t cost you anything but time!

Conclusion

Finding the right MMA gym doesn’t have to be difficult – just do your research, ask around, visit different gyms, and check out online resources such as YouTube videos or forums for advice from experienced fighters. With these tips in mind, you should be able to find the perfect gym for your needs!
