The atmosphere is one of respect, compassion, hard work, and friendly humor. They've really helped my cousin build her confidence, and her skills and strength have improved exponentially in a short period of time. They have you work on different techniques against several partners in each lesson, so there's never a shortage of variation and action. There is also no shortage of passionate and knowledgeable people with whom to connect, learn, and practice. Seeing my cousin's experience there, her deep love for it and her happiness with herself, I highly recommend this dojo to anyone interested in taking up Aikido or any traditional martial art.

I have to give a huge shoutout to Eddie and the entire team for creating such an incredible MMA gym. From the moment you walk in, Natalie and Isabella at the front desk make you feel welcome. I still remember my very first day--I was extremely nervous as a tiny female stepping into such a combative sport. Natalie took the time to personally show me around and walk me to my first class so I would feel comfortable. That small act meant so much to me and is a big reason why I chose this gym. The coaches I've had the privilege of training with--Liana (my main coach), Gustavo, Bobby, and Bryce--are all professional fighters who made me feel like part of the family from day one. They push you to improve while creating an environment that is supportive, respectful, and fun. This isn't just a gym; it truly feels like a second home where you can learn, grow, build confidence, and, of course, beat each other up a little bit along the way! If you're thinking about trying MMA for the first time or you're looking for a new gym, don't hesitate. Join this place. You won't regret it. Programs Include: Brazilian Jiujitsu, No-Gi, kickboxing, competition kickboxing, and mma. They do offer private lessons and gym fitness classes as well. I do the kickboxing class.

Fight Ready really stands out as one of the best gyms our family has tried. We've sampled MMA and…read moreBJJ studios across the Valley, and nothing compares. My son only gets a couple of months each year to train these days because of his travel hockey, but he looks forward to every session. We're hoping his hockey schedule cooperates so we can stick around long past the summer. Cleanliness & Facilities: The overall cleanliness of the gym really stood out. You typically need to worry about the tumbleweed of dust and hair at a martial arts gym, but the staff seems to truly care about the cleanliness here. Front Desk Crew: The front desk team has been fantastic from day one. They welcome everyone with a smile, handle all of our questions about schedule and classes effortlessly and keep things running smoothly. Their upbeat support sets the tone for every visit. Coach Bobby's Youth Kickboxing: Bobby's kickboxing class strikes the perfect balance between challenge and fun. He encourages the kids to push their limits, celebrates their progress with high-fives, and maintains a positive, motivating atmosphere. He is also so loud and clear (in a positive and respectful way) with instruction, which is helpful to keep the attention of the kiddos. Coach Jackson's Kids BJJ: Jackson's BJJ sessions are so well organized it's like clockwork. No chaos, no random sparring from day one, just smart, safety-first teaching of cool techniques. We've seen other gyms where kids get tossed in the deep end and walk away with bumps and bruises. Not here. Coach Adam's Kids MMA: Adam's all about the fundamentals, and he makes it feel more like playtime than a drill. He's right there tweaking little details, keeping everyone moving, and cheering them on. You can practically see the "aha!" moments on their faces. Expertise & Credentials: The best part is that every coach is a master of their craft. They are professional fighters with impressive accolades, and they bring that real-world experience to training the next generation of athletes. Coach Helpers & Student-to-Instructor Ratio: Every class includes additional coach helpers, which keeps the student-to-instructor ratio low and makes a huge difference. You can tell the kids love all the coaches; they're always trying to team up with their favorite coach groups. That level of engagement shows the staff is doing a great job keeping the kids focused and interested.

I finally got around to going there one night with the intention of sitting in or participating in a class. This was after Sam invited me to do so. He said he was away, but go there and see if I like it. So I did. I got there about ten minutes early abd there was a middle aged woman teaching a group of younger students. During a break I briefly introduced myself and explained that Sam had invited me. She said I could not participate or even watch and I had to leave right now. Really abrupt and borderline rude. So I left. I texted Sam and described what happened, less any editorial comments. He said I'm gonna have to wait then until he gets back. That was about 10 weeks ago. Finally, just recently, I deleted Sam's number. Why go where you are not welcome. Why beg to spend your money and contribute. I have no idea how well or not they teach there, or the atmosphere, so I can't comment on that. I can say they treated me like crap for no good reason. From a customer service and human relations pov they such. Grade as far as treating new customers and prospects. D.​​​

I grew up with a lovely but overprotective mom who wouldn't let me participate in risky sports like football. Finally I got to play as a junior and it opened up my eyes to team sports / respect / discipline / control like nothing I had experienced before. These are things that are hard to teach in the home, it takes a village to raise good humans. As a parent of an almost 8 year old, I'm always looking for ways to help them grow and stretch their abilities and confidence without putting them in danger. This is the PERFECT place for that kind of challenge / growth. The way I see it, my kid gets all the benefits of team sports like football but at a fraction of the risk. This family is incredible and I have nothing but good things to say about their ability to challenge and help my son thrive. We've been coming for more than a year now and couldn't be happier with every aspect of the services they offer.
