"Dropped in for a GI class while in town for work and will 100% visit again! The owner was super kind and responsive via email beforehand and equally nice in person. Pat taught an awesome side control escape series with some slick details, and all the students I rolled and drilled with were friendly, skilled, controlled and tough. The facility is clean and spacious, with showers etc on site. Highest recommendation, I'll 100 percent be back next time I'm in town."
