Plus One Defense Systems

My 15 year old daughter has been training at Plus One for a few years now and she loves it! She has benefited so much physically and personally from their programs. The staff is excellent and the gym is always very clean. We have had a wonderful experience there!

If anyone is looking to start training martial arts, then Plus One is the place to go. I've been going to Plus One for almost a year now and have loved every bit of it. The coaches are friendly, encouraging, and challenge you to grow. I'm confident that no matter what your martial arts goals are, Plus One will help you get there.

Let me begin by saying I was looking for the right gym for me for awhile. I tried out a few Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gyms in the past and didn’t feel they provided the framework and beginning adults classes I was looking for. I have been going to Plus One Defense Systems for a month now and I cannot give this place enough praise. From the instructors to the students, everyone is there to teach you or help teach you and learn to the best of their ability. The atmosphere it provides will bring you back alone. The instructors won’t forget your name and they take the time to structure the classes to provide the proper framework for your level of knowledge no matter what stage you’re at in the art. It is extremely organized and well put together to create the perfect recipe for you to succeed. This is the gym to be at.

Plus One Defense made learning BJJ incredibly fun, effective, and rewarding. Every instructor is pleasant to be around and extremely knowledgeable. Very clean and family oriented environment. I plan to start my children here in the future. Easy 5 stars.

This is a great place to drop in and visit if you're visiting from out of town. Darin and his staff were very welcoming. The facility is really clean and completely comprehensive. There's a weight room, three different mat rooms, an octagon and boxing ring. So whatever form of martial arts, this is the place to train. There are two showers available at the facility, if you need to get clean right after you train. Your training partners here make great and friendly rolls, highly recommend this place!

My boyfriend and I were looking to learn something new together, so we joined Plus One a few months ago. It has definitely been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time!! We have so much fun each class, and I walk away every day feeling accomplished and more confident. We came for Muay Thai, which is a lot of fun and a great cardio workout, but we've really gotten into Krav Maga as well, and it's incredibly useful. We recently did groundwork in a Krav class, so now I'm interested in trying jiujitsu too...If you're looking for a gym where you can learn to master a new art - this is the place for you. The instructors are very knowledgeable and always have great answers for our questions on form and body mechanics.If you're looking to have structured exercise classes and get fit, this is also the place for you. I tried a few cardio kickboxing classes before coming here, and I felt like there was little motivating me to go to those classes day after day. Plus One teaches technique, so you might not get discouraged if the needle on your scale hadn't moved, because you've noticed that your right hook is getting stronger and your kicks are higher! I've actually been motivated to eat healthier, not to "diet", but so I can have more energy for class! For me, that's a much healthier mindset.

8 months ago I decided to get off my ass and do something I had been wanting to do for a few years, learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.I tried a free trial class on a Friday morning, and have been going 2-3 times a week ever since.The staff and students are all very welcoming, and made me feel welcome from my very first day.The instruction is always technical and on-point and I've learned so much in less than a year of classes.I've also made great progress on my fitness goals and have lost over 40 pounds since joining.If you're looking for the best place to learn martial arts in the area, Team Plus One can't be beat!Edit: I'd like to revisit this review a few years later and say that, if anything, this place is even better than it was two years ago. If I could give it 6 stars I would! I'm looking forward to being a part of the Plus One family for years to come.

I am brand new to martial arts, and I have found a incredible place to begin my journey. The staff, the instructors, and community are so welcoming. Especially the amazing people who attend the Plus One Defense System's capoeira class. It my favorite by far. Learning something brand new means there is a period where you are constantly making a fool of yourself. However, you have never met an instructor and group of people who make you feel so good about being so bad. Baby steps! :)

I've been participating in martial arts for 15 years and have attended 5 or 6 different schools in this time, but no school/gym has ever compared to the facility at Plus One. The facility itself is spectacular with top of the line equipment, an mma cage, boxing ring, full gym and lots and lots of clean matt space. This is the only gym I've been to that offers MANY different styles of martial arts with instructors specifically trained in each so there is literally something for everyone and the knowledge of the instructors is beyond anything I've ever experienced. The welcoming environment is one you cannot pass up, this gym is THE premiere gym in the state, definitely check it out if you are interested in any type of martial arts.

Plus One defense, a phenomenal place. I started here over a year ago, looking for a martial arts school that had a strong emphasis on flexibility. Each and every interaction I have had is amazing. This goes for instructors as well as students. The staff here is first rate. They care about the students, are eager to share their knowledge, and go above and beyond to insure your success. From offering an amazing array of classes covering a variety of martial arts, to providing a schedule that can meet almost everyone’s needs. The combination of multiple disciplines, a fully equipped fitness center, and first rate instruction makes the value of this school nearly unbeatable.Although in life you often find that there is always that one person with whom you can’t get along, I have yet to find that person here. Darin and his staff at Plus One may just be a magnet for people that are warm and caring, or perhaps they foster an atmosphere that creates that camaraderie. Although my cohorts often make fun of the line from Karate kid that “Karate is for whole life”, this spirit pervades the school at Plus One. Martial Arts and the lesson learned at this school, as well as the attitude fostered, most certainly can and should infuse your lifestyle choices.In short, you can’t go wrong if you choose Plus One as your place of Martial Arts instruction. I highly recommend it, and believe that it can fundamentally change your perspective on life.
