I've been training at FTF since 2011. This is not a normal gym. If you're looking for staff and…read morecoaches that care about you and your health this is the place! They offer challenging classes and it doesn't matter what age you are or what fitness level you are. The classes are fun and rewarding. They teach you that life begins outside of your comfort zone. They even let you try your first class free... so you have nothing to lose! Come join the FTF family!

These folks are very helpful and friendly no matter where you are in your fitness journey. You can quite literally not know anything about self-defense or fitness and still get a pretty great workout here. I love all of the people including the ones that work out here and the ones that coach here. Definitely give Fit To Fight a try!

Everyone was a pleasure to talk to, drill with, and roll with. The mats are high-end, clean, and spacious. The instruction is top-notch. Professor Jeremy clearly loves jiujitsu and teaching, and both of these facts are apparent in his detail-oriented instruction and his well constructed curriculum. I have been back several times since my initial visit (including flying back from Seattle) for both the good training and the good people. I can't recommend training here enough.

Our 10 year old has been going for 5 years and is now working towards his junior black sash. Our 7 year-old just started, and wants to take classes every time they are offered. Both are members of the Leadership Club and are currently reading "The West Point Way of Leadership" as part of their training. I have been taking Tai Chi and Kung Fu for a year now, and have lost 20 pounds, plus have gained much greater strength, stamina, flexibility, and confidence. Classes are more than what you might pay at a strip-mall martial arts school, but you are getting a richer, more vibrant community and a more robust training.

The instructors are great with the children, even those who seem overly excited to be there (the one's who don't listen so well). The instructors are patient, and keep the sessions fun, but also manage to stay firm at the same time. In addition to being wonderful with the kids, they even remember each child's names --even after only seeing them once, which is quite impressive based on the amount of kids they have. The classes are a great size (our son is in the beginners class [he's 5]), which contains only about 5-6 kids per session. I highly recommend this place. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is simply because I have nothing else to baseline this experience from.
