👍👍 I started JiuJitsu at Fusion hoping to have a hobby that keeps me active while teaching me valuable skills to protect myself. Not knowing a single thing about JiuJitsu, I valued the time they took to make the transition easy. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive to the students. 2ish yea... People often mention Thai, learn, Muay, Fusion, great, time, years, program, year,

    I started JiuJitsu at Fusion hoping to have a hobby that keeps me active while teaching me valuable skills to protect myself. Not knowing a single thing about JiuJitsu, I valued the time they took to make the transition easy. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive to the students. 2ish years (and a lot of tosses and chokes) later, I have fallen in love with the martial art thanks to the awesome instruction and leadership I have had the honor to receive.

    Five Stars all the way. There are too many good things to say! I did the jiu jitsu classes for almost two years before I had to move across county. The culture is great, everyone makes it point to learn your name and get to know you. They take lessons at your pace. If you can only make it once week and learning is slow, it's no problem. If you want to go everyday and roll you can. Master Kim-- Jeff, really makes a huge difference as well. He instructs a variety of other martial arts such as Judo and Kyuki-do. He really is a master of multiple arts and it comes through in the self defense and jiu jitsu classes. He has obviously been teaching for a very long time and knows how to structure a class and explain and demonstrate concepts in understandable way. If you have been rolling for years or its your first time I guarantee you will improve! When I told him I had to relocate across they country, Jeff spent a lot of extra time reviewing and getting me through to my last test, you can tell he very much cares about your progress. They also offer Muay Thai classes and many people would double it up with the jiu jitsu classes-- not something I did but the guys who did do it got a great work out. If you have researched other classes you may think that this school limits you by making you focus on certain set of self-defense skills but I have rolled at A LOT of other gyms since I have left (as a 4 stripe white belt) and it has been extremely easy to transition to other gyms and see that those moves they make you learn are ESSENTIAL! Some schools tend to jump all over the board on skills which can be very confusing for a new student. If you are at all interested in the martial arts or getting a good workout, check out this gym. They really do help you to reach the goals you want even going out of their way to do so.

    Fusion has been a blessing to me in so many ways. Amazing culture of men and women who take pride in fitness and respect the tradition of martial arts. Super welcoming staff, great instruction, and the facility/equipment is first class. Couldn't imagine a better gym and can't wait for the years of training to come as part of this awesome family

    Great academy to learn Muay Thai and BJJ. The gym is clean and well put together; and the members are not cut throat with one another - which makes it a great environment to learn. I’ve train in multiple gyms around the area, and even trained in a couple gyms in Florida and California (where the fight scenes are heavily popular), and they don’t compare to Fusion. The duo affiliation in BJJ makes learning structured for beginners, and exciting for competitors. The Muay Thai program is the best across the country. Beginners have picked up the sport with ease at this academy. A very welcoming gym.

    Hands down, these guys are the BEST around. Really solid fundamentals from Coaches Ian, Kyle, Josue and Hector. These guys pour their heart and soul into what they do and they are really patient when instructing the kids. If you want to learn from real fighters who treat you like family, look no further. My son Jared loves it here and he gets challenged to become better every time he steps into the gym. Real Muay Thai from really genuine people. Glad we made this place our home for many years to come. More power to the Fusion Family!!!

    I’ve been apart of three different gyms over a span of about 7 years and fusion does Thai boxing better than any other academy I’ve been a part of. It’s the only gym that I have gone to that has a fundamentals level to acclimate beginners before graduating to the more advanced class. It’s has a little bit for everyone. If you’re a beginner looking for self defense tools or have previous training looking to become a competitive fighter, this is the place for you. Ian, Kyle and Josue have a way with mind muscle connections that help you understand the different striking techniques and it has been invaluable to my development. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    I am not one to write reviews but I can't say enough about Fusion MMA. The structure of the Jiu Jitsu program is top notch. Instead of randomly working on skills they designed the program to make sure each student understands the basics of the Martial Art before moving on. They also have done this with me for the past year in a safe and positive environment. Jeff, Ian, Kyle, and all of the instructors are great teachers and super knowledgeable. Can't recommend enough. Time to join.

    Great staff and great place to start learning Jiu Jitsu. Having never trained before I didn’t know what to expect but came into a great environment to learn and feel comfortable learning.

    Love this place! First time I’ve been through such a structured “beginners”training. Dials you in to the basics prior to swimming with the sharks. Instructors are very attentive. I also enjoy the Gracie University online so I can view the class prior to attending. I’m glad I found this place team mates are all laid back and welcoming so check your ego at the door.

    Muay Thai program is excellent. Josue helped me big time with the Muay Thai fundamentals and is an outstanding instructor. You don’t have to worry about taking unnecessary punishment to your body with them. As a complete beginner to martial arts, fusion does a great job of introducing you to both sports; Muay Thai and bjj in a safe way. I am extremely thankful for that. If I could split my review into parts, I give the Muay Thai program 5 stars and the bjj program 3 stars. My biggest problem comes with the bjj curriculum. Once you get to the master cycle, you have to wait an entire year to get back to learn a “chapter”. They divide everything into mount, guard, half guard, leg attacks, etc and you have to wait an entire year to get back to re learn and review that material. I’m one who learns by continuous repetition and the fact I have to wait a year to come back to review one concept was very annoying. Another aspect I do not like is how they only offer 1 day a week of no gi training for 8 months of the year. The summer season they switch to no gi, but the rest of the year it’s only 1 day of no gi per week.

    Fusion MMA is supportive of both adults and kids of all ages and ability levels, giving options for tiered growth building towards monthly membership. They help you set and track goals based upon skill development and have a staff that is friendly and relational. Fantastic place to learn Muay Thai and more!!

    I love every second! Everyone is cool and willing to teach something new. People are patient with one another and the vibe is never negative here. I always look forward to coming back and that will remain a constant.
