    It's the best and most welcoming environment and the classes are what i look forward to, I am always learning something new. The coaches are knowledgeable and happily give you the tools to succeed. By far, the best gym in Windsor.

    Central Combat has been awesome for me starting out in my MMA journey. Never judgemental, all the coaches have been very welcoming as well as encouraging. Thankful to have Travis Szalay as my BJJ and striking coach!

    I started my first day, learn a very neat technique. Then I got into sparring in BJJ. And it was the most exhausting thing I’ve ever done. I loved it! It’s a great workout!

    Great place to start learning MMA, very welcoming environment and amazing coaches. Matt was great help when I was getting set up and everyone is friendly towards those who are just starting out. Cannot stress enough how great it is to come to Central Combat Sports and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to begin their journey in MMA.

    All-around facility, with great classes! Coach Travis’s Jiu Jitsu class is top-notch. He is really dedicated to the sport, and it shows. I highly recommend checking this place out.

    I had just started taking classes with my girlfriend and we are in love with the place. We started private lessons with coach Travis and we couldn’t be any happier. Already 3 classes in coach Travis has really pushed us to our limits which is what we want. He really wants you to always have a perfect understanding of the art, and he will always make sure you are satisfied and confident in what you are doing. Coach Travis is very understanding of people’s schedules and very friendly to talk too. You always feel that you are welcome at central combat because the staff there is immaculate. I’ve signed up with more private lessons with coach Travis and I am very excited to complete them! He is a very great coach, and a very nice guy. If you want private lessons ask for coach Travis!

    I'm excited to share my thoughts on Central Combat Sports. It's become like a second home to me, where I'm refining my skills in Jiu-jitsu and Kickboxing. The instructors are truly exceptional, offering expert guidance that not only imparts valuable skills but also ensures an enjoyable learning process. What's even better is that they offer conditioning and mobility classes, which have helped me become stronger and more flexible. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced practitioner, Central Combat Sports offers a welcoming and supportive environment to grow in your martial arts journey. The facility is impressively clean, adding to the positive experience. If you're searching for a place to learn and grow, Central Combat Sports is truly remarkable!

    By far the best training environment I've ever been apart of, I'm a new member of this gym and it's quite evident after your first class why they have a 5 star rating. There is certainly no exaggeration when it comes to claims of professionalism. Eric certainly make you feel welcomed as though you've been there for years, he is very helpful and encouraging. Something that stuck out most to me is that the head coach, Coach Peter had not been present at my first few classes, the first class that I was at with him instructing he found out my name, just to come to me and coach and encourage me personally. When someone goes out of their way to welcome you like that, it does not leave you. Can't say enough good things about Central Thanks for everything so far guys.

    This is the perfect gym in every sense of the word. The gym itself is always extremely clean. The equipment is top notch. It is a very comfortable non judgemental environment featuring some of the best people you will meet. A lot of new students often have anxiety about starting a gym. Here, it's different. There are no inflated egos, there are no "I'm better than everyone else" attitudes. The coaches are extremely patient and very detailed in their techniques. They break everything down step by step and run through it multiple times so the new students can understand and apply what is being taught. Whether you are training to fight, want to learn self defense, or are looking for a killer workout, you're definitely going to find it here. Classes run both morning and evening which fit perfectly in to anyone's busy schedule. It's crazy to think that in a month I've learned how to properly throw kicks, I've lost weight, and I can comfortably remove someone from on top of me. Joining Central has been one of the greatest decisions I've ever made.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    With my hectic and constantly changing work schedule I didn't think I'd be able to get back on the mats and I've been trying to find something that worked for me in Windsor for a while now. Central makes it too easy to get a proper workout in my day. Whether it's catching an unlimited class or bagwork in the dark hours of the morning, I'm making gains the way I love doing it most.

  • 5/5 Thomas B. 7 months ago on Google
    Amazing people who treat everyone with the utmost respect. My 16 year old son has been attending their Teen BJJ and Adult Kickboxing classes regularily for the past 8 months. It has completely changed his personality and given him a ton of confidence. He was greatly affected by the lockdowns the previous couple of years and lost out on years of his previous sports such as soccer and taekwando. He was getting into trouble with drugs and had become very depressed. We tried to get him to rejoin sports but he was extremely resistant. It eventually came to a point where we dragged him out to just watch a class from the lobby, The young man working the lobby, Matt, convinced him to go sit in the class and at least watch, if not participate. He then agreed to a week long free trial and has not looked back. He loves all the coaches and everytime he leaves I see high fives and handshakes between him and many of the other adults and teens he takes the classes with. I have nothing but great things to say about this place and all the people attending.

  • 5/5 uzair c. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff is friendly and highly trained. All the coaches at the gym go out of the way to help you learn and make you feel welcomed. Wouldn’t have started my journey elsewhere. I’d definitely recommend this gym to anyone interested to learn MMA.

  • 5/5 Jesse S. 1 year ago on Google
    I just finished my trial period, and immediately signed up for full membership! From the first phone conversation I felt welcomed, was treated w respect and professionalism and Eric and Matt made it very easy to get started. I'm here for muay thai/kickboxing, so I have only met Coach Dom and Coach Megan and they have both been awesome, understanding and encouraging! I can see myself training here for years to come! The facility is extremely large, modern and spotless, w a full gym area and class options 6 days a week. If you are looking to get started, this is a great spot!

  • 5/5 LiveLifeLikeMac 2 years ago on Google
    Having spent some time here I really appreciate the friendly environment as well as the attention to detail from the staff. They clearly strive for a clean and safe facility, while providing excellent coaching and training in every discipline of mixed martial arts. Eric C provides a warm welcome at the front desk for every training session, then comes to the mats to snatch ya neck, everything you want from your MMA gym and more. 5 stars

  • 5/5 Nicholas H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is the best gym the city. The environment is obsessively clean. The club has all kinds of equipment at the ready for your training needs, regardless of what you're working on. Each coach has his or her own style so the classes are well rounded and never boring. Whether you here for fitness, a hobby, or a profession the gym and coaches adapt to your needs. The best part is your training partners, there's a full range of experience levels so you can work with someone your own speed or spar with someone who will challenge you. No egotistical meat heads drilling your legs or busting your arms to make themselves superior. Everytime I walk through the doors I feel like a part of the team.

  • 5/5 Dane K. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve been a fan of MMA for about 2 years and decided to try it out. Joining central has been by far the best decision I’ve made in a long time. The coaches actually care about teaching you properly and you aren’t just another face in the crowd. Amazing facility with everything you will need to train mma and even more equipment to lift weights. Im so happy i joined this gym and will continue to train here for a long time.
