Fantastic coaches and a great environment. They’re patient, skilled, and know how to motivate kids while keeping things fun. My son trains in both striking and BJJ, and he loves it. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for quality instruction.

Trained BJJ and then some boxing with instructor Darrvi Calotes. The BJJ class was thoughtfully structured so that each drill logically progressed from the prior one, and the challenge level of each technique also increased gradually. I think you learn and retain better that way. Very good fundamentals class!

I had a good experience here when my son came for a trial class for Brazilian jui-jitsu. Everyone was very polite and welcoming from the front desk to the coaches and instructors. It was such a great feeling seeing my son's enthusiasm that I signed him up. Thank you Strategic Academy for the warm welcome. Looking forward to this journey.

Strategic Academy is absolutely top-notch! It’s more than just a martial arts school—it’s a community where kids can thrive. The environment is fun, safe, and perfect for learning self-defense, discipline, and confidence. My 3 boys love going every week—they’re always excited to train, learn new techniques, and interact with other kids and the awesome coaches. The coaches and staff are friendly, professional, and genuinely cares about each student’s progress. It’s a family-friendly space that makes you feel welcome from day one. If you’re looking for a place where your child can grow physically, mentally, and socially, Strategic Academy is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Strategic Academy is an amazing environment to train in. Coach John is the nicest dude and an incredible teacher in the morning kickboxing classes — super knowledgeable and always pushes you the right way. Coach Ness’ night class really pushes you, gives you incredible cardio, and teaches great techniques every session. The atmosphere is always positive, the people are great, and I’ve already learned so much since joining. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

IS THERE A FREE TRIAL CLASS?

Absolutely. We invite all prospective students to try their first class free at Strategic Combat Academy. It's the best way to experience our training environment, meet our coaches, and see if BJJ is right for you. No experience or equipment needed — comfortable athletic clothing is fine.

DO I NEED ANY EXPERIENCE TO START?

No experience necessary! Strategic Combat Academy welcomes complete beginners. Our instructors break down every technique step by step, and our community is known for being welcoming and patient with new students. Everyone starts as a white belt, and that's exactly where you should start too.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY FIRST CLASS?

For your first visit, comfortable athletic clothing works perfectly — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants. Once you commit to training regularly, you'll want to invest in a gi (kimono). Our coaches can recommend quality options at a range of price points.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TRAIN?

Most students at Strategic Combat Academy train 2 to 3 times per week and see consistent progress. Showing up regularly matters far more than training intensely once in a while. We offer multiple class times throughout the week so you can find a schedule that fits your life.

DO YOU OFFER CLASSES FOR KIDS?

We primarily serve adult students. Please contact us directly to ask about availability for younger students — we're happy to point you in the right direction.
