Incredible and intentional curriculum, coaching, and community! Jesse does an amazing job teaching the why behind the technique and is a very encouraging teacher.

Jesse was amazing as an instructor and definitely made me feel comfortable as a beginner. If it wasn't for me moving I would be at his class for years to come.

My 10 y/o daughter absolutely loves her self defense/combat training at Fusion. The atmosphere is relaxed, coaches Jesse and Pedro are very professional, not intimidating, have fun with the kids and know how to keep them engaged. We tried other self defense centers, but in terms of curriculum and approach only Fusion Combat was the right one for us. Convenient location in DTC is a bonus. I highly recommend Fusion Combat to anyone considering self defense training!

The owner and head coach Jesse has a great personality and teaching style. He's very approachable and will take the time to give personalized feedback. The atmosphere at the gym is incredibly positive and helpful too, with any attitudes left at the door. I seriously haven't met anyone who isn't willing to help, or be patient with newcomers, or just isn't happy to be there.Being new to martial arts and a woman, I was intimidated with the prospect of going to a gym by myself especially when I didn't know of anyone who went there ahead of time. But there's a really good mix of men to women at the gym and with everyone being chill and super helpful even when classes are lopsided it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.I just completed my 6th month there and I'm super stoked to do even more!

Did a trial class and immediately signed up. I'd highly suggest just seeing for yourself. To be more wordy: fabulous intro and obviously well thought out curriculum, focusing on a little 'love triangle' of styles to bring you up to speed on personal defense and overall discipline of body. Highly recommended.

I have been loving this place for a little over six months now. The coach always explains what we're doing and why we're doing it so well, which helps me stay focused throughout. Not only am I learning important skills to protect myself and others in emergency situations, but I am also getting a great work out in. Highly recommended!!

This is one of the best experiences I've ever had with a self defense school for kids. My Son (7) gained a lot of confidence and a will to face challenges head on after starting with coaches Jessie and Pedro.His classes were well sized and all the students get a great amount of personal attention and most importantly, encouragement!They learn the importance of defense, being vocal, and being aware of their environment. If you're interested in bringing your kiddo to learn a noble art and have a purpose for leaning it... Bring them here.Orientation is very personal and it encouraged an interest in excelling in the effort. I hope we can find a school and instructors this committed to their student success.

Update: I've been training for over a year now. Just got my first belt. The training continues to be top notch. I also enjoy working with normal people and not people that are so competitive that they cause injuries.I've been training here for 3 months now and love it. This is self defense, taught in a controlled manner from an experienced instructor. The lessons are broken down such that each piece builds on itself. You will feel more confident that should the need arise, you can get yourself out of a bad situation.It's not cardio kickboxing. you won't always leave pouring sweat. Sometimes it's important to slow down and focus on technique and safety for both you and your partner. After the boxing classes though I can barely lift my arms.

There aren't enough words to describe how much I respect and admire this business. I was the person that always had "look into self-defense classes" on my to-do list. Anytime I would try to look for classes they were always too intimidating and intense. Scheduling the introductory trial lesson with Jesse was the best thing I ever did. From the outset of talking to Jesse it's clear that this program is incredibly well thought-out and research based. Jesse walked me through the theory & philosophy behind the approach, gave me some hands-on practice, and answered any questions I had. Their approach strikes me as incredibly pragmatic and functional. This business also truly cares about their members' sense of safety and comfort. Jesse never tries to "convince" you to sign up for a membership -- he simply gives you all of the information you need to decide for yourself if this is something you want to pursue, and needless to say for me it's a no-brainer. I will happily be joining Fusion Combat's monthly training program this Fall. If you're on the fence or nervous about trying this out, based on my experience I would emphatically say "just make yourself go to the initial consult"-- you will be glad you did.
