For years we've had younger siblings in our 3-4 year old class wanting in, and occasionally we let them in for pieces of the class or to come in and play a game with the "big" kids. And they do amazing. But obviously at this age they need a little more attention then they can get in a class working with other kids and often have some anxiety around new people such as instructors.
What a child grows up with defines the rest of their life. A child that grows up without confidence, discipline or the ability to stick to and achieve goals will have a very hard time overcoming those things later in life. They may enter as students, but they will leave as leaders.
By mixing an age appropriate, modern martial arts curriculum with research based character development we will help your child become an amazing athlete who will succeed not only on the mat, but in life.As a Mixed Martial Arts school your child will learn a mixture of striking, grappling, wrestling and at times basic weapons.

If you want to transform your body, sharpen your mind, improve self-confidence and easily get in great shape without getting bored then you've come to the right place! Whether you want to start competing in Jiu-Jitsu matches or keep it purely recreational as a fun way to get in and stay in shape this is a sport that has a lot to offer.
Kickboxing is the art of using punches, kicks, knees and elbows for either sport, fitness or self-defence. One of the most popular and effective martial arts amongst adults, every great MMA fighter must train kickboxing to get there. Kickboxing is practiced for recreation and as a competitive sport all over the world.
Martial Arts based fitness has been around for a while now, with cardio kickboxing classes running out of just about every gym. The problem is they don't really work, just like most trends in aerobics classes. This means we are not just taking the same aerobics class structure and throwing punches and kicks.

Friendly instructor and training partners. Decent rate. Lots of kids programs available. Might be a good place to get in shape, however, not a great place to learn good bjj techniques.
I would like to know where the instructor got his bjj black belt from. Both physical demonstration and verbal explanation of the techniques were not up to par, comparing to other bjj black belts that I trained with.
Poor hygiene - both on and off the mat.

We hosted my son's birthday party at this facility. The instructors were very able to keep a rowdy bunch of 14 kids in line and engaged in learning Jiu Jitsu. Literally every parent said afterward that their child loved it. I highly recommend this for birthday parties or regular training. They were very patient and willing to teach the kids. Instructors went above and beyond expectations for hosting a party. When the website says "you show up with a cake and a camera" they are not exaggerating, everything else is covered.

I had enrolled my son into this martial arts gym on a promotional month Did not see any certification on who the owner is certified to be teaching classes. Class sizes are large and often out of control. I was looking for more respect and self control to be taught. I have found that with a Brazilian Jui Jitsu certified balck belt instructor.
Also sent several requests to be removed from their spam email list took almost 9 months afterwards!
Agreeed the bathrooms are disgusting I have seen better in third world countries! Would not recommend this group.

The staff are great. The party I attended was very fun for the kids, they did a fantastic job with them. Where they lost my 2 stars was the cleanliness of the facility. If I could give a zero for that I would. The bathrooms were beyond terrible. Toilets probably never cleaned and the soap was water in a soap pump bottle. Grossly disappointed in that and for that reason alone I am sorry to say I would never send my children back there. I have pictures but I won't post and hope the owners read this and if they choose not to clean then they should really consider a company to do it for them.

Great gym to get your little one (3 yrs+) started in mixed martial arts. Instructors are very patient and organized. Strikes, take downs and weapon training can be expected, as well as core essential skills such as attentiveness and sociability. Currently have moved gyms due to personal scheduling, and can tell you Innovative Martial Arts is by far the best gym for little ones starting off. Keep up the good work guys!

You won't be disappointed by any class Innovative has to offer. My son is enrolled in the mma class and he loves it. It has boosted his confidence and his overall health has improved immensely. I would highly recommend Innovative to anyone from children to adults. The adult workouts constantly change so your never bored. The staff makes this place the complete package.

I was so nervous to start but within a few classes, I was in LOVE! I go as often as I can and when I have to miss a day I get pretty sad. My fiancé and I have now been members for almost a full year. In that time, I have lost weight (gotta fit into that wedding dress!), made new friends and discovered that I really enjoy the MMA elements. I am continually seeing improvements in my endurance, strength and confidence. On top of all that, it is the best stress reliever to get to beat up my fiancé!
Andrew and the staff are fantastic and make you feel right at home. Classes are challenging yet fun

My experience at innovative martial arts has been amazing. I've been attending for almost a full year. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff is always so helpful and positive. The fitness classes are fantastic and I like how Andrew incorporates everyday movements which helps me with my balance and range of motion especially at work (industrial plumber). Me and my fiance really enjoy teaming up together, its a great way to keep fit and have fun (body break!) as a couple!! I highly recommend you check out innovative martial arts, you won't regret it!

If you are looking to improve your overall fitness levels or want to have fun while learning MMA skills then I highly recommend that you check out Innovative Martial Arts.
I've been a member of this gym for 2 years and thanks to the owner and main instructor Andrew Green, I am in the best shape of my life at age 38. When I first started I had been training at home and at some of the larger gym's. At that time my motivation to train and fitness progress had plateaued and I didn't know what I needed to do in order to make the changes to drive my progress. I had always wanted to learn to fight and

We signed our son up just over a year ago, and it was probably the best decision we could have made. He started there a little on the shy side and nervous side and now he is full of such confidence thanks to the amazing staff at innovative martial arts. Not only do the kids learn valuable martial arts lessons and how to work hard for their new belts, they learn valuable life skills with the character building words of the month. My son has gained so much physically with all of the exercise, and since he's having so much fun he doesn't realize the hard work he's doing. He's also learned discipline
