“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

Sensei is very knowledgeable and has passion for what he teaches, after a year being here, my daughter now decided to practice it and she loves it! The staff is super friendly and respect is the most important here! Highly recommended!!!“

“I went to Square Circle for a few years. I came in with absolutely no idea on how to kickbox let alone Muay Thai kickboxing. Not only did I learn kickboxing but I learned Brazilian Jujitsu as well. The instructors in both Kickboxing and BJJ are experienced fighters who professionally have completed in professional tournaments. I have made friends that I still talk to and have stayed in contact with. The school itself is well kept with the equipment and floor being sprayed and sanitized after each class. Cleanliness at a gym is utmost important and, in this facility, you will find it to be very well kept. The atmosphere during class is high energy and friendly. The instructors do an excellent job in welcoming new people and are attentive to their skill level. There is this tight bond that everyone has with each other before, during and after class. Whether you are an experienced kickboxer or have experience with BJJ or you want to learn either one I would highly recommend this school. Its friendly, knowledgeable, clean, the instructors are well experienced and the people who come to train are very diverse they come from all walks of life.“

“Strong is a great gym with great teachers. I have been taking the adult kickboxing classes for over a year and I love it! The gym provides a safe, friendly atmosphere and it is amazing what a great workout you get in one hour! Students range from 16 to 60, men and women.I had worked out in other ways over the years but had never done kickboxing before. It is definitely challenging at first but in 2-3 weeks, you get in the groove for both the conditioning and the kick-boxing parts. And it's way more fun than programs like Orange Theory or just lifting weights.I highly recommend Strong Martial Arts. It really is a great workout option for all skill levels.“

“My son loves Master Joe, he was first introduced via his school. Now I got him signed up for unlimited classes. 100% recommend ?“

“My 9 year-old son has been a student with the academy (formerly Edgewater Kung Fu Academy) for the past 2 years. He enjoys the classes and has made many friends. The instructors (Sifu Romain, Sifu Robinson, and Jiao Lian Begolli) are excellent and make the classes challenging and fun. My son is excited to work towards his sash (belt) rank journey. Our family highly recommends this martial arts academy.“

“The best wrestling club I've ever come across. Tons of mat space and equipment, tons of talent, incredible pedigree. All the best mma and bjj guys cross-train here. Other reviews seem to be somewhat out of date, this is mainly a wrestling gym now and no longer offers muay thai or boxing.“

“Amazing place! My son loves each class and has been going for almost 2 years. He has learned so much in this time! They staff is supportive and helpful and really cares about each and every one of them. Highly recommend.“

“I have been a member of CruzMMA for about 2 weeks now and my experience has been nothing short of amazing. All instructors are clear and concise with instructions. It is a competitive environment but everyone at the gym is nice and truly cares about each other. I have improved technique and form in a short matter of time. Professor Plinio and Professor Thiago are the best instructors I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend CruzMMA if you live in the area or if you are looking for a new environment to get great training.“
