From the reviews
I have attended CMA for over two years as of this review, and I look forward to continuing my training here. This has been one of the best confidence boosters, and the best physical training that I have ever had. And not only do they train your body, but also your mind and soul.
This place is excellent! The instructors there make you feel right at home, and like you can fully be yourself! They push you to, and pass your limits, they understand if you have a bad day or if your going through a hard time.
Very skilled instructors with a rich history in martial arts! This is absolutely one of the best if not the best in a 60 mile radius! I visited 5-6 different gyms, watched classes, asked questions, gathered details, and called more then that before landing here.
Action Zone CMA is an excellent Dojo. The owner, instructors, and staff are very professional and educated trained experience in the teaching of Martial arts. They have the understanding on how to teach and train each student on the level that the student is at and that within itself create a self confidence in…
New to BJJ? Start at Action Zone CMA
Action Zone CMA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Action Zone CMA
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
