I would recommend The Edge MMA school to anyone looking to learn about self-defense, get a good workout, or gain self-confidence. I send both of my sons to train there and I cannot say enough about the environment, the instructors, the quality of the school and the style of teaching. Before choosing The Edge we looked at a number of schools and self-defense styles before deciding on The Edge. At The Edge we feel like our situation matters and not just another customer. I have seen an adjustment in my sons in only under a month of attending. After seeing the success in my children, this 40 year old husband and father of two decided to give it a try as well. Everyone is respectful and greet you as soon as you walk in the door. Hands down this is the best decision we have made for our family and future. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed!

We started at the Edge when my grandson was 5, he had difficulties focusing, and we thought this would help and give him self confidence making friends, and it's almost 5 years later and he has come such a long way because of the instructors patience and knowledge , and people skills. Sir Justin has been amazing, patient, and understanding and my grandson loves it there. This is one of the best things you can do for your child, boy or girl, with or without issues of any kind, it is a welcoming, friendly, and great experience for adults as well. Sir Justin is the best, and respected by all. More...

Upon a few recommendations I decided to check out the Edge for my 7 year old son. The minute I walked in the door I had a feeling this was the place for us. We immediately felt welcomed & were not pressured. The instructors are excellent - firm yet so patient with the kids - i truly appreciate how Sir Justin works with my son to help him with his focus! My son is truly enjoying The Edge & I love how excited he is to go to class!! I highly recommend The Edge!! More...

My son has been a student at this academy for 6 years. There is nowhere else he will ever train. Everything that is taught works. There are no boards to break. Not everyone gets a prize. Your ranks and belts are earned and not bought. This sets The Edge apart from the rest. With all that said, I'd like take a minute to talk about Master Justin Rios. When we started looking into the martial arts for my son, it was mind numbing. I checked a few before The Edge and when I mentioned my son had high functioning autism, their faces scrunched up and they looked confused. They treated every child the same. That doesn't work in our world. When we met Master Rios, he didn't bat an eye when I said my son was on the spectrum, he wanted as much information as he could get so he would know how to work best with him. He never let him quit. He never gave up on him. He learned my sons limits, EARNED his trust and slowly pushed him & then pushed some more. He's now a 4th degree blue belt. This isn't a school, it's an academy and once you step inside you'll see the difference. More...

While traveling on business, I stopped in on a Tuesday evening for the no-gi and gi BJJ classes taught by Rich. It was an unbelievable experience both on and off the mats. Very friendly environment, well suited for BJJ practitioners of any skill/experience level and for beginners too! Rich taught and emphasized some fundamental principles which will help close some gaps in my game. It was easy to follow, as he built sequences of techniques from the same principles & set-ups throughout the duration of class. Had some great rolls, intense but friendly, and made a bunch of new friends. Looking forward to coming back for another visit soon!

Whether you are an experienced martial artist/BJJ practitioner, or are considering trying martial arts for the first time, I would encourage you to come by - you will feel very welcome and have a great place to learn & grow � More...

I heard of Edge from another parent who was extremely happy with this place.. and I can now totally see why.. I am a mother of a 5 year old boy who began at Edge almost a year ago, when he was only in preschool. . My son absolutely loves this class.. It never gets old for him, he is up to 3 xs a week now, sometimes 4, and yet still he looks forward to attending the class each day he has it.. He has grown tremendously since he began.. Not only are his punches and kicks way stronger, and his technique improving all the time, but also I see a difference in his confidence level as well as his ability to focus.. The kids are all like a family there, they are a great bunch, and it is nice to see that they feel they are a part of something.As for the staff at this academy, I am beyond impressed by what "Sir" Justin Rios brings to the table... He shows commitment to the kids he teaches. He is strict with his students, as he should be (he doesn't mess around! He keeps them focused which is great!).. but yet, he also makes sure the kids are having fun and that they get some laughs in here and there...(He even has us parents cracking up at times, he's a pretty witty guy! ) Justin shows he cares and gives the attention each kid needs, and as far as price, for what these kids are getting from these classes, it is WELL WORTH it.. I have been to other similar businesses that charge way more, yet they don't give the kids half the attention that Sir Justin gives.. Overall we are very happy with Edge, and we feel fortunate to have heard about this place .. 5 stars!!! More...

My two boys (ages 7and 9) have been going there about 6 months and we are so glad we decided on sending them here. The atmosphere and experience that the instructors provide is second to none. They teach the students how to defend themselves and how to have confidence but also about respect! Our younger son has showed the most improvement and it's been recognized by our family and his teachers! I cannot thank Justin Rios and the other instructors for their dedication and commitment. I look forward to seeing what the future brings for my sons! If you are unsure of where to train or have your children train then send them here. You will not regret it! More...

Having studied a variety of martial arts off and on for 30+ years and as a fitness professional, when it came time to choose a school for my three daughters it was not something to be taken lightly. I could have easily selected a school out of convenience, but instead did my research and checked out several area schools. There are at least a half dozen martial arts schools closer to our home, but the curriculum and instruction is well worth the trip. It is the most comprehensive program in the area addressing both stand-up and ground fighting. The confidence my girls have received at The Edge has translated to the soccer field, the basketball court, the classroom and the playground. Founder Rich Raciti, Executive Director Justin Rios, and his instructors not only teach technique but also life skills, such as how to deal with bullies and how to treat others with respect. Justin Rios is a gem. His ability to teach advanced skills and techniques, yet make the classes fun while instilling discipline at the same time is very unique. It's rare that you find an instructor that instills discipline, but can also make you laugh while doing it. If you can't tell, I highly recommend The Edge. More...
