I've had my 6 yr old enrolled in their after school program for about a year and just signed her up for summer camp.This facility instills hard work, the importance of being healthy and discipline.Sensei Ross has worked incredibly with our law enforcement/military family (conflicting schedules at times). I appreciate his understanding and allowing our kid to stay a little later than usual. We appreciate you guys and all your hard work. Keep up the great work.

Champions mma is my second home, all the fighters are very helpful and experienced. I would recommend signing up at champions mma for male or female, any age group. …

I'm pretty confused with my experience I can't comment on the classes I didn't get that far. So I talked on the phone with them and they seemed nice and set up an appointment with them to discuss classes for my two kids and a tour, afterwards they kept sending me text about confirming my appointment.I get there the place smells very musty, furniture stained and pretty gross anyway I go to the office I let the lady know who I am she hands me a piece of paper with the days they offer classes tells me $150 for both kids and says they can go join a class for free for the day. What happened to the tour what happened with coming out and atleast meeting my kids. The whole thing felt very rushed and not very welcoming needless to say we are going else where. We ended up going down the street to Carlson Gracies and wow what a totally different experience they are a little higher priced but seems way more worth it

Definitely one of the greatest gyms I’ve been in. Mats are cleaned after every session. Definitely has a family atmosphere, they welcome you in with open arms. There’s so much they offer if I didn’t move away I would’ve stayed there. I recommend this place if your seriously thinking of becoming a fighter or even just looking for a place to get cardio in to lose weight. Again love this place, old or young they take you in as family.

Not a great place at all. They went on a trip in their van and didn't have working seatbelts for everyone. My son told the main lady he didn't have a seatbelt on and she ignored him. When I went to pick him up there was NO supervision and I …

I started my 6 year old son here just over a month ago, and the change I have seen in him is huge. He is learning discipline, responsibility, positivity, and self confidence. The staff and management are very hands on, and I am very happy with the way they treat my child. Highly recommend!

I have been training here since I was 5 years old. I have learned jiu-jitsu along with confidence and how to solve problems a nonviolent way I love the people at this gym like they were my family. I love the instructors. They are like my uncle's. This is a very good place to learn communication skills. I definitely recommend this place.

I have been training at Champions MMA for about 15 years. In that time I have seen the growth of hundreds of kids who have become phenomenal young men and women! I have trained with young and old adults who have sought out everything from fun and fitness to professional fighters who have and are fighting at the highest levels. The instructor is fantastic; Ross is attentive to the levels and needs of all his students. He is a well known BJJ Black Belt and respected by his students and the BJJ community.I personally received my Black Belt from Professor Ross a year and a half ago. My BJJ lineage is as follows: Mitsuyo Maeda>Carlos Gracie>Carlson Gracie>Murilo Busamante>Leonardo "Leo D'ilha" Borges>Marcus Santos>Ross Kellin. I absolutely recommend Champions if you are looking to train for the first time, for a new home, or if your just in the area and want to train! See you on the mat!
