From the reviews
UFAI has extremely skilled instructors who truly want to see you develop your skills. They put in so much of their own time to help develop others and reach out to the community; it's abundantly clear that this is their passion.
UFAI has great coaching and an amazing group of dedicated people to train with. The amount of knowledge in this gym is very impressive. Striking, Grappling, Muay Thai, BJJ, MMA, Self-Defense, they do it all! I love this gym.
although I don't train here I know the owners very well . I do visit quite often and it is a very good place to train. the people are very friendly, courteous ,the atmosphere is superb. the instructors have a very close bond with the students and I think that is very important .
AMAZING GYM! I dropped in from out of town after talking with Mike. before I came in, he gave me all the information on all the gyms in the area to let me take my best pick for my training style. then, when I finally went in to roll everyone was very hospitable, friendly, and respectful.
Your first BJJ class at United Fighting Arts Institute, LLC
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.
