My daughter has been going to the grounds for a year now! There has been a tremendous growth in her self-confidence. All of the coaches are absolutely amazing! They take the time to get to know each individual, both children and in their older adult classes. It is amazing the amount of respect that they gaine from the kids in such a short amount of time. They have amazing self-defense, Jiu-Jitsu and self-confidence lessons. They teach solutions to situations that the kids could actually, potentially get into. My daughter has an immense respect for all of the coaches there! She enjoys going weekly and also enjoys the summer camp and parents night out that they offer. This has been an amazing class and I look forward to her continuing for many years to come!!

So glad I found this gym. Everyone is very welcoming. Professors are knowledgeable and take time to help you understand the purpose of each move. Can't recommend this gym more. If you're new to jitsu or looking to change gyms, definitely give the Grounds a visit. Can't wait to get back here.

The Grounds MMA Academy has proven to be more than just a martial arts school for my husband and me; it has become a powerful catalyst for personal growth and family bonding. The exceptional training provided by the skilled and dedicated instructors at the academy has not only taught us self-defense and fitness but also cultivated a newfound sense of confidence and discipline in our lives.

These guys are good! Naturally, I was intimidated coming into the program as a 42 year old and a few back surgeries under my belt. The Grounds staff has done the best job with my orientation. I am learning at an accelerated rate and I'm having a great time doing it. If you're contemplating a new work out and you are intrigued by martial arts, don't hesitate and come check them out!

The Grounds staff/coaches are outstanding. My son has been training there for a bit over two years and my daughter now for a few months. I have nothing but high remarks for the kids program. Their tiered structure for the kids programming is broken down by age groups as well as skill level which works out really well. The adult programs are no nonsense, legitimate martial arts with a variety to choose from. Again, only good things to say about the coaches and the folks who train there. 10/10 Would recommend for anyone looking for a martial arts academy to train at.

Joining Training Grounds was one of the best decisions I have made. I have been taught self defense Jiu Jitsu along with the sport side of Jiu Jitsu. This may be a martial arts gym but that is not all you get when you join the team. Training Grounds and all of the gyms members offer great care and friendship on and off the Mat and in and out of the gym. I joined the gym around 4 years ago with a medical issue and all I have received is support and help. You join a family when you join Training Grounds. I have had a blast learning Jiu Jitsu while meeting some of the nicest most caring people I have met to this day. There is NO other gym like Training Grounds!! Great teachers and amazing friends.

The Grounds our Mat Family- I have been at this academy for about 2 years personally, but my review is about thier kids program. My son Ethan is now 8 he has been training for almost 4 years and he absolutely loves it finding something your kids love and keep up with is a beautiful thing and I am fortunate we found The Grounds so early in my son's life. Fast Forward my youngest started last year in a parent/kid class for 3-4yr Olds called Tiny Bulldogs. It spoke to me immediately for my youngest who was turning 4 years old at the time. My son is now 5 and just graduated to thier kids program without a parent and it has been such an amazing growth experience for him. To be so young and grasp control of yourself,your emotions, other kids coming at you and in an environment that promotes a positive learning experience and keeps it a fun environment is a challenge,but thier kids programs do exactly that. Special thanks to The Grounds and thier coaches Brian,Zeke,and Derik for holding these kids accountable and pushing them even when they dont want to always show up.

My son loves his classes at The Grounds. He has been attending for almost a year, and I think he will make it a permanent part of his life. The instructors are an amazing group of positive people. I'm so glad we found this. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Very welcoming gym. I came in to the area from out of state for work and wanted to get some training time in and they welcomed me right away. I’ve only been training for a short time and I felt very safe and comfortable in the environment instantly. If you’re a local or in from out of town, I definitely recommend stopping by!!

Coach Brian and Team are the best! Patient, skillful and filled with lots of love for every ninja. Check this wonderful martial arts academy out! You will not be disappointed!!!! Our son has been coming for a year now! So impressed with his self-confidence and discipline. His first report card reflected straight outstandings! Thanks to The Grounds!!

The Coaching Team is amazing. After experiencing bullying on his baseball team, we decided it was time to teach our son how to defend himself *properly* I am so glad we chose The Grounds to do this! They’ve helped my son with so many things, like: listening better, showing more respect, and knowing exactly what to do and how to handle bullying situations. He is always excited to go to class and has already used the new skills he’s learned in real life situations!

The grounds is an amazing place if you are looking to get started in martial arts. It’s a welcoming and safe environment for you to get acquainted with martial arts and get the best workout you’ve ever had. One thing that makes grounds unique to me is their ability to use martial arts for personal development and not just fighting. Here, you will be able to learn to defend yourself, stand up for yourself, have confidence, set goals, build discipline, and get healthy! I always enjoy my time at the grounds because they motivate me and help me set goals that I can work towards.

Training Grounds is a truly special group of people learning some LEGIT self defense and martial arts skills. The owner, Joshua Frye, teaches many of the classes himself. He has an impressive pedigree and many years of experience in Martial Arts and Krav Maga. Coach Josh does a fantastic job of keeping things fun, but at the same time keeping classes focused and practical for real life application. Josh and his instructors teach every adult class to a wide range skill levels and challenge them all. Attending any of the classes also gives students FREE access to Fit 4 Combat, a High Intensity Interval training program to help prepare students physically for potential combat and overall fitness. I have a great deal of respect for all of the instructor's knowledge, teaching styles and most importantly the atmosphere they have created. This is a special place and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Great experience! Kids love it. It’s teaching them discipline, respect, and what team work is all about.

If you want a great workout and to learn Mixed Martial Arts, this is the place to do it. The coaches are super nice and the skills and training are elite. It's a very friendly environment and everybody (students and coaches) are ready to help. They never make you feel bad for asking questions or reviewing a technique. I highly recommend The Grounds MMA to my friends and family.

I love this academy! I kept walking past looking in the windows I knew it would be somewhere I could call a home I just had to walk in the door with a open mind. Thank you to everyone who takes part as team making each other better every day proud to be part of the Mat Fam. Jacob.M

As someone with no experience coming into this facility and being completely out of my comfort zone, it has been my experience that the team goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and supported. I've only had Coach Jordan and Coach Brian in class and both have been patient, present and very helpful. I.would assume nothing less of the others. The community is wonderful too. Highly recommend.

I don’t usually write reviews at all unless it resonates with me in some way. If you’re looking to take that leap of faith and push your limits, this is the place to be. I was hooked since my first day and have been met with nothing short of excellent hospitality and smiling faces. I’ve learned so much in the little amount of time I’ve been here and I’m only hungry for more. If you’re looking for the sign to start something new, this is it!

The Grounds MMA academy is one of the nicest fighting gyms I’ve been to. All the coaches really care about your journey in what ever discipline you choose to go down, and are always willing to spend extra time to make sure you progress!

Zeke and Brian were great for my first class! Really broke things down in a language that I can understand. They made sure I wasn’t in my head but was in the physical motion. I am excited to come back and further my education from these men!

On my honeymoon my wife and I decided to stop by and take a beginners class in jujitsu and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was friendly and helpful the instructor was knowledgeable and was able to provided feedback. The mats were kept clean which is always a plus when it comes to martial arts training. I wish I live in the area so I could take more classes with them.

The grounds gym is so nice, great experience every time I went, the instructors are accommodating and pay attention to you individually even though you are in a class. Would recommend to anyone who wants to better themselves in a positive way.

Excellent MMA gym. I was visiting family in Florida from Ontario Canada and reached out to the grounds to do some Muay Thai training while I was in town. Brian was super helpful. Everyone was so welcoming, no big egos. They had gloves to lend me, showed me around the facilities. I will 100% be coming to train here any time I am in the area. Highly recommend checking it out, beginner to advanced fighters- this is a great gym.

My daughter Juliana has been coming here for a year now, since day 1, she has loved the coaches, the team and everyone there. She has learned so much and continues to grow every training day. The coaches are kind and patient, they have a goal, it's to make sure your kids learn defense and be respectful. Rest assured your kids are going to love it here. 😀

Super awesome experience and, honestly, I learned so much. Coach was super kind, but stern with a great sense of humor. Better than that- he was a fantastic teacher. He did not hesitate to answer my questions or that of my husband's and his rationale for the decisions on the mat made sense. I can definitely see the power and grace of the Gracie name prevalent. Would recommend to anyone interested in a solid education of BJJ or just curious about another form of martial art.

Incredible group of coaches and staff who have built a great mat family. When I first joined, I signed up for a two-week trial. I was so nervous, I asked my husband to accompany me until I felt comfortable enough to go on my own. I ended up signing up for a membership by the end of my first class and told my husband I didn't need him to come with me anymore. Of course, he fell in love too and joined me instantly. Everyone, from the coaches to the other students, were so welcoming I instantly felt like it was a safe space. We have made great progress, physically and in my confidence, along with great friends in the short 6 months since we joined.

We love their positive attitude, teaching style, and how well our child responds to this type of positive reinforcement. For our teenager, he was in the adult class. Loved the push, the drive and encouragement from the coaches and everyone in the class. This is taught and fostered. Not to mention, I appreciate their cleanliness and teaching how to properly clean your gear after each practice!
