Been going to F2D for over a year and couldn't imagine training with any other coach. Coach Scott is a great trainer who has helped me gain confidence and pushed me beyond my comfort zone.

A lot of people can be nice, but it’s rare to find genuine and authentic-to-themselves individuals, but this place has got it. From the coaches, students, and even people that drop by to visit, i have been showered with only kindness and genuine interactions by everyone I’ve been fortunate enough to talk to. Not to mention the jiu jitsu in that room is unbelievable, every time I drop by to train I’m learning something new and the coaches are more than happy to give all they know not just to their students, but to the art of jiu jitsu. We need more academies like Fit2Defend….

My kids and I have been training at F2D for over 4 years. I’ve learned a lot about myself and had growth opportunities beyond martial arts. Scott is a leader. High level training partners, varied technical skills. Kids, adults, all levels welcome. Great community and safe place to train.
