I am thrilled to share my families experience with Grit MMA. My two sons, aged 6 and 3, have been training in kickboxing and grappling here on a weekly basis, and the progress they’ve made is incredible! Coach Carson Frei is not only an exceptional teacher of the arts, but is also an outstanding professional fighter! He brings incredible patience, top-notch technique, and a warm demeanor that truly makes a difference.

Grit MMA offers a fantastic range of classes, including the 5-12 year old class that my oldest boy attends, as well as “the littles” class for ages 3 to 5 that my youngest attends…

I can’t recommend Grit MMA enough. If you’re looking for a supportive, family-oriented gym that delivers exceptional results and a fun environment for both kids and adults, then this is the place for you!

This place is AMAZING!! I signed up my young son, unsure of what to expect… however after one class with Coach Carson, my little guy was HOOKED. Coach Carson is patient, kind, firm and VERY knowledgeable-exactly what my son needed. I saw immediate respect displayed by my son because he respects Coach Carson so much-he also incorporates fun in between skills to keep the kids engaged (and tired by the end)! We are thrilled we found this place. I cannot say enough good things about how this gym is run! Haley S.
