What local members say

Check out my husband Coach Steven Martinez at Dominion MMA!! There's Muai Thai, Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, as well as kids classes. This Saturday was Women's Self Defense 8am... they did great!! *more defense classes upon request* Come by to see if this martial arts gym is for you!

Not much of a reviewer but I gotta say that if your were ever interested in martial arts and are scared to try it out, this would be the place to take the jump. No matter your fitness level, your age, these guys will treat you like family.

I have waited for a great moment to write my own review. I am a veteran with the U.S. Coast Guard. I am 37 years old and really out of shape. But I am not the only one. My time here for three months of training, I feel like a whole new person. I am getting that feeling of camaraderie I once had amongst people.
