I have been practicing here for quite some time. I have had issues in the past with lower back pain…read moreand have scoliosis of the lower back. It used to hurt when I would go to sleep and was just sore all the time. When I practice Oom Yung Doe, I feel so much better. Its like the scoliosis is no longer there. But it is of course. So, I had my chiropractor monitor how I am improving. He told me that what is happening is all my muscles around the spinal cord are being strengthened and is correcting my spine. If I stop practicing though, it will go back to what it was before. So I will never stop. My chiro was pretty amazed as to the result of my training. He is also a life long Judo expert and still he was pretty amazed at how this practice is affecting my back in a positive way. My arm also used to go numb at times and no longer does. This is awesome. Asst head instructor Nate is an extremely courteous instructor and cares for each individual and will tailor your training to you. If you are serious about your health, please give this place a try. Its for real!

Over the years, I've had the honor of earning my black belt in 2019 and winning two Grand Champion titles at the International Chinese Martial Arts Championship--accomplishments I wouldn't have achieved without the incredible guidance and support of this school. More than just a place to train, this school is a family. I met my husband here when we were kids, and I've built lifelong friendships and connections that go beyond training. The instructor and students create an environment that pushes you to be the best version of yourself while fostering a deep appreciation for martial arts. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of such a dedicated and supportive community, and I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to grow both in skill and in character.

I've had the privilege of training under coach Bill for a few years. I cannot express enough how…read morepassionate and enthusiastic he is about martial arts that is actually practical. I say that with an emphasis because there are a lot of Brazilian jiu jitsu (BJJ) gyms popping up these days that focus on wining matches and scoring points. You must do your own research and due diligence to pick a gym that's right for you. I have been training BJJ for over 10 years now and my best advice for you is to register for a free trial class. There's no amount of review-reading you can do that will compare to the feedback you get from your first class. Then, decide if it's for you or not. Fair? One standout aspect you should know about Blast MMA and coach Bill is that he is a well-rounded martial artist. He doesn't just do jiu jitsu. He does wrestling, Judo, and striking (MMA) as well. It's natural to assume oh if he does other things, maybe his jiu jitsu or his striking may not be as good. Uh uh. That's not the case here. He's at the same level in all of them! The way I see it, coach Bill views them all as different parts making up one single, complete art. They aren't siloed or separated for him. I've seen him coach BJJ tournaments, Muay Thai matches and MMA fights - big and small. He's done it all. You can expect to absorb all of his knowledge here at Blast MMA! I don't personally do striking but you'll surely be doing a lot of take downs (Judo, wrestling, MMA) here. Once you advance in ranks, you will learn many kinds of leg locks. You will also learn back attacks, chokes and submissions that coach Bill has tested and refined over the years. You can expect powerful techniques that work in any settings - a self-defense situation, a BJJ tournament, or an MMA fight. The "Power Kimura" that he taught me is still a part of my game today. In case you don't yet understand all the above BJJ and MMA lingo, don't worry about it. If you have been wondering about starting your fight journey, all I have to say is register for that free trial class. That's exactly how I got hooked - a free trial class. I had been thinking about training for a couple years before that. I wished I started sooner. Don't do what I did. Start NOW! If you live in the area, I cannot think of a better, well-rounded gym than Blast MMA. You're going to learn so much!
