Extremely clean facility, high quality instruction, great group of members. The mats and facility are cleaned constantly, there are also showers that are always kept clean. Instruction is top tier, the instructors know what they are talking about and actively compete using techniques gone over in class. Whether you’re a day one beginner or a black belt these guys provide a wealth of knowledge. Very supportive gym culture. I’ve made friends there that I mountain bike with, exchange books, discuss jobs and all sorts of things. I was new in town and lucked out to find this place, I’ve made a lot of friends and I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made in my Jiu Jitsu since joining here.

Magnificent facility! My gf and I were on town for a couple days and dropped in for Saturday class. We couldn't have been treated better, very welcoming and friendly. Top notch instruction and great rolls. Highly recommended to anyone in the area.

Amazing gym with world class instructors. I drive from Canada to train Brazilian Jiujitsu and wrestling here. I’m a female competitor and have struggled to find the right gym. Alex is an amazing instructor and very technical. They have both wrestling and Jiujitsu world champions teaching their wrestling and Jiujitsu classes. They also have a fantastic kids program. I’m one of several athletes who drive over an hour to train here. Everyone is super friendly, feels like family. Not to mention the best looking facility in Michigan and very clean! You should definitely give this gym a try, you won’t be disappointed.

I’d first like to point out that this is the cleanest state of the art training facility I’ve been to. The adult and kids programs are well worth the investment. The culture in this school is extremely welcoming and loving. Alex is an amazing and intellectual instructor with a well constructed program. He’s exceptionally personable and has a personal relationship will all members. I’m honored to be part of the roots family!

Hands down the best martial arts gym in Michigan and arguably one of the best in America. I had gone to several other gyms prior to Roots and none of them compare. World class jiu-jitsu coach, world class wrestling coach and world class striking coach. The facility is spotless clean and all students respect one another. Great gym for individuals looking to do martial arts as a hobby or want to train for more serious professional matters. Best decision I've made all year is getting a membership at Roots.

Incredible gym. Super friendly staff, extremely clean and well kept facility. Phenomenal instructors and members of all experience levels and ages. The Roots rash guards are sick too

Roots Combat Club is an exceptional gym that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great workout in a family-oriented environment. The facility is modern and clean, providing a comfortable and inviting atmosphere for training. Alex Hodi, the instructor, is a world champion and has an incredible insight into the techniques and strategies used in combat sports. His explanations are clear and concise, making it easy for anyone to understand and follow along. The kickboxing program, led by Paul Lee and former UFC fighter Justin Scoggins, is top-notch. Their skills and knowledge of the sport are unmatched, and they are both excellent teachers. The classes are challenging yet fun, and they really push you to reach your full potential. I have seen great improvements in my own skills since joining the kickboxing program. What really sets Roots C apart, however, is its family-oriented nature. From the moment you step through the door, you feel welcomed and supported by the staff and other members. The atmosphere is positive and encouraging, and everyone is there to help each other improve and reach their goals. I have made some great friends at this gym, and I feel like I am part of a community. The facility is modern and clean, the instructors are world-class, and the community is welcoming and supportive. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to improve their combat sports skills and become part of a great community.

Alex is great! He’s a great teacher for someone that is new. He makes sure to break down the moves slowly and gives the needed feedback to make sure you’re doing it right. The community he’s built is open and everyone has been very welcoming and helpful. The facility is beautiful, clean, and very well taken care of. You can tell there is a lot of pride surrounding Roots.

From beginner to experienced this is the best gym I have found in Michigan to be at. Fun and competitive environment. Knowledgeable coaches. Highly recommend.

I joined Roots one week ago and have had an amazing experience with the team here. Everyone has made me feel welcome and have been extremely helpful in my learning experience. Within a short amount of time I already feel like a significantly improved wrestler and boxer. I have all of the trainers and coaches at Roots to thank for that. I signed up with their one week free trial which made it easy for me to learn about the gym and gave me enough time to realize if Jiu Jitsu was for me. After my experience in the trial I am most definitely signing up full time so I can continue to learn this new art and improve upon myself.

Roots is a great place, if your a beginner intermediate or advance with either BBJ or any kind of striking there is great knowledge in every coach/teacher in there and you always come out feeling better and feeling like you have learned more. Kids seem to love it too. 5/5

Roots is a special place! Amazing instruction and and Wonderful facility! Everyone is Very welcoming! This is the place to be in downstate Michigan! Cant recommend them enough! Go and see for yourself!!

GREAT PLACE FOR BIRTHDAYS TOO! Our kids have benefited tremendously from Roots. I was pleasantly surprised to find out Alex and his team also do birthday parties. Nerf Gun wars and dodge ball. The place is spotless. It is clean, safe, fun and the kids had a blast. Thank you for making our 6 years old's birthday memorable for us and the entire family. If the grandparents were shooting nerf guns. Thank you!!

If someone is coming to Michigan and want to train BJJ or if you are looking for a gym you need to stop by Roots combat club, Alex will show you the best jiu-jítsu, the gym is beautiful and ppl are amazing! 10⭐️

My son loves Roots and it has been A great experience for him!! He has built up his confidence. It has been fun. Alex is so amazing with all kids and he works very hard with the children!! Highly recommend Roots:)

Great instructors, they’re all super knowledgable and experienced but welcoming to beginners too. Really friendly community as well.

I've been training at Roots for nearly a year now it's a great facility with a friendly environment and extremely dedicated coaches. It's always a great time at Roots.

Best gym in Michigan. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. If you want to compete in jujitsu or just stay fit I highly recommend roots, they have a variety of classes for everyone.

Roots is a great gym for people that are new to jiu jitsu and people that have years of experience. Everyone there is like family and really friendly. You’ll learn great techniques and also have great experiences. I highly recommend checking it out

My son loves it here! After the first week trial it was his favorite sport. He learns a lot but it’s in a low pressure and fun environment. We’re excited for his first tournament!

Awesome facility! Everyone is super friendly and always lending a helping hand. This place really makes you feel like family while helping to improve in one’s jiujitsu skills. I recommend this to anyone who’s new to the sport or someone who’s been doing this for years. Osssss

I came into Roots not knowing a single thing about Ju-Jitsu or any fighting style in fact. It’s been my second week in class and let me tell you, this place is the REAL DEAL. 1)This place is one of the most welcoming places I've ever stepped foot in. I found the place online without knowing a single person, knowing nothing about the sport, and didn’t even call ahead, and I felt beyond welcomed. I own tech companies, so I spend 70% of my day glued to a computer and get limited interactions with people so to go somewhere where everyone is nice and supportive is super cool. If you feel scared or intimidated to try BJJ trust me, give this place a shot. There are day one beginners to 10 year veterans and everything in between and all age groups. 2) The instructors at this place are top-notch. Come in and watch Alex(Bjj Coach) or Paul(Kickboxing) spar for 30 seconds, and you will realize these guys are masters at their craft. They are both extremely patient and willing to work with your skill level. 3) The place is extremely clean, has showers, and has a beautiful design. Always got a dope playlist playing making you feel like you're at the club. I had tried a few gyms before this, and I knew this was the one within the first class.

The roots family is so encouraging and welcoming every single day that I have been training here, I started about 5 months ago and will be competing in my first tournament in a few weeks, I’m truly blessed to have such amazing people in my corner!!! Whether it’s for self defense, an exercise, and or for competition I give this place a 10 outta 10!!! they have my stamp of approval. Tell your friends

Alex is a very passionate and dedicated individual. He has superior knowledge in all aspects of jiu jitsu. Alex takes his time with all his students and displays a keen attention to detail with their best interest in mind. He maintains a positive attitude and is quick to build strong relationships with others. His teaching will give you the confidence to believe in yourself.

Alex is an amazing coach and the facility he’s built is nothing short of amazing. This gym has been extremely welcoming to newcomers such as I and I can attribute that quality to Alex’s inclusion and commitment to teach.

Everyone is very welcoming here. A very safe environment with great instruction for anyone training either as a hobby or more seriously. The facility is beautiful and as clean as it gets.

I just started coming and the environment is great. All the people surrounding it and the aspect of learning jidtsu. Alex is a great instructor and has an amazing course I recommend.

Awesome, clean facility with amazing instructors. Coaches Paul and Alex are very personable and very thorough in their teachings making sure the techniques they demonstrate get across to all their students. The students that do come to practice here are all friendly and all egos(if they even have any) are checked at the door. I can safely say I’m comfortable and confident in training here. Thank you to everyone at Roots ✊🏼

My kids and I absolutely love this gym!! Alex is a wonderful instructor; he’s patient and knowledgeable and has made learning jiujitzu such a fun experience for my kids. The atmosphere is super modern and always very clean, which makes me feel at ease as a mother. I recommend this facility to everyone I know!

My boyfriend and I dropped in for a visit from out of town. The facility was very clean, great instruction, and welcoming environment. Would drop by if in the area again.

I visited from another gym for a seminar and the environment and Prof. Hodi and his team were very welcoming and professional. Would definitely love to come back for training.

I received a recommendation from Coach Luke to take advantage of the free week trial at Roots which afterward, made me eager to join the tribe. Not only is there a wonderful staff, community, and work ethic that is unmatched; but if you are interested in MMA, this is the place for all people who truly care about earning their stripes from world-class competitors every step of the way!

I recently joined Roots Combat Club and have loved it! It is a very welcoming environment for all levels! The coaches and staff are also very friendly!
