Academy of Mixed Martial Science
"From the moment you arrive, you can tell there is something quite special about the Academy of Mixed Martial Science. The brand new studio is spotless, well-lit, and spacious, is adorned with Buddha carvings and features brand new equipment. Watching the previous class finish up their exercises, one notices that people are enjoying themselves, but also that this studio and its participants take their study seriously. Unique to other boxing gyms around town, AMMS adheres to the philosophy of the crafts they teach, combining skill with discipline, and respect to the culture of origin. Some classes even conclude with a brief meditation session, and according to AMMS literature, qi gung is Incorporated into their curriculum as well.
AMMS couldn't have provided a more friendly environment for my friend and I to take our first Brazilian Juijitsu class. The quality of teaching was impressive, with pacing that allowed us beginners to feel adequately directed, but seemed to challenge the people who'd been coming for a while as well (the classes are broken down by level). I came back shortly after my initial visit to try Muay Thai for the first time, and once again was impressed with how well Coach Jeremy managed students whose experience seemed to range from one day to several months. The Muay Thai class, in particular, was a great work out with lots of partnered sparring work. With Coach Jeremy and his assistant coach continually making the rounds, a lot of personal attention was given to each student, despite the class size of about 25.
What was perhaps most telling of the quality of the AMMS, however, was the enthusiasm of the students. Several students sincerely and independently introduced themselves, welcomed me to the school, and expressed how much they enjoyed coming to classes. I haven't witnessed such camaraderie and collective spirit in a long time. I highly recommend checking out a class here, especially since AMMS offers free trial classes for new students. They can do this because, in all likelihood, it seems, you'll be coming back."

"This is by far the best martial arts experience I've ever had. I only wish I found your club sooner. For me it's a combination of the overall attitude of the coaches and the students - combined with your program, which is concise and clear. Every time I've tried to do BJJ and Muay Thai I've been lost. They just throw you in and show you some moves that everybody is supposed to be able to figure out and I just get frustrated and don't come back. But I'm excited to go to AMMS and learn more everyday."
