Fusion has been a blessing to me in so many ways. Amazing culture of men and women who take pride in fitness and respect the tradition of martial arts. Super welcoming staff, great instruction, and the facility/equipment is first class. …

Fusion MMA is the best MMA gym in the area! Anyone who wants to get started in Gracie Jiu Jitsu should check this gym out, as the curriculum is very structured and great for beginners. The instructors, Jeff, Kyle and Ian are all very passionate about BJJ/Muay Thai, and are great people to be around.

Great academy to learn Muay Thai and BJJ. The gym is clean and well put together; and the members are not cut throat with one another - which makes it a great environment to learn. …

I am not one to write reviews but I can't say enough about Fusion MMA. The structure of the Jiu Jitsu program is top notch. Instead of randomly working on skills they designed the program to make sure each student understands the basics of the Martial Art before moving on. They also have done this with me for the past year in a safe and positive environment. Jeff, Ian, Kyle, and all of the instructors are great teachers and super knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough. Time to join.

I’ve been apart of three different gyms over a span of about 7 years and fusion does Thai boxing better than any other academy I’ve been a part of. It’s the only gym that I have gone to that has a fundamentals level to acclimate beginners before graduating to the more advanced class. It’s has a little bit for everyone. If you’re a beginner looking for self defense tools or have previous training looking to become a competitive fighter, this is the place for you. Ian, Kyle and Josue have a way with mind muscle connections that help you understand the different striking techniques and it has been invaluable to my development. Can’t recommend this place enough.

This is one of the best martial arts schools I've ever been associated with. I've trained Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido and now Jiu-Jitsu for most of my life and the instructors at Fusion are some of the best ever. The Gracie University program that's taught is first class too.

Five Stars all the way. There are too many good things to say!I did the jiu jitsu classes for almost two years before I had to move across county. The culture is great, everyone makes it point to learn your name and get to know you. They take lessons at your pace. If you can only make it once week and learning is slow, it's no problem. If you want to go everyday and roll you can.Master Kim-- Jeff, really makes a huge difference as well. He instructs a variety of other martial arts such as Judo and Kyuki-do. He really is a master of multiple arts and it comes through in the self defense and jiu jitsu classes. He has obviously been teaching for a very long time and knows how to structure a class and explain and demonstrate concepts in understandable way. If you have been rolling for years or its your first time I guarantee you will improve! When I told him I had to relocate across they country, Jeff spent a lot of extra time reviewing and getting me through to my last test, you can tell he very much cares about your progress.They also offer Muay Thai classes and many people would double it up with the jiu jitsu classes-- not something I did but the guys who did do it got a great work out.If you have researched other classes you may think that this school limits you by making you focus on certain set of self-defense skills but I have rolled at A LOT of other gyms since I have left (as a 4 stripe white belt) and it has been extremely easy to transition to other gyms and see that those moves they make you learn are ESSENTIAL! Some schools tend to jump all over the board on skills which can be very confusing for a new student.If you are at all interested in the martial arts or getting a good workout, check out this gym. They really do help you to reach the goals you want even going out of their way to do so.

I've been going to Fusion Fitness MMA for about 3 years. It all started with an interest in learning more about the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai kickboxing. Little did I know it would turn into an obsession. The instructors …
