Chris is a phenomenal teacher and gifted martial artist. He is very willing to help on anything you have questions on. The gym has a great comfortable feel to it, as well. The prices for disciplines and training are very cheap compared to most MMA gyms in the area, and the instruction is far better than said gyms for the price you pay.

With my job, I have the privilege of traveling all over the US and while doing so, I make it a point to stop into local gyms to keep up my chops. I can say with no reservations that Chris is one of the best instructors out there. This is a GOOD gym with good students taking on the characteristics of their instructor. Chris is one of the most down to earth and approachable guys I have had the privilege of training under and instantly makes anyone feel welcomed; he also has the tenure and experience to back up his coaching with multiple awards and US army decorations humbly displayed around his space. if you ever have the opportunity to stop by here, I encourage you to do so, as it might be one of the best representations of what martial arts is meant to embody.

Great training, Chris is known for his strong jitz but I REALLY dug his traditional muay thai. I'm training In Thailand right now and it's pretty dang close! Chris did a great job bringing back his time here and is a super kind man (that will make you tough as hell) More...

Great gym and very affordable. I was finally able to find a gym close to home that is family friendly. Everyone at the gym are helpful. Chris is very great instructor and he will always help out and if there is something you would like to learn, just ask him and he will incorporate it into the lesson. His assistant Thom is also very helpful and great instructor also. Also Chris is willing to work with you on payments. Which is also great. One of the best gym in Northern Utah More...

Chris was very hospitable on a business trip I had. I had an extra evening where I could do a little kick boxing and he said that I could drop in for free even though he knew I wouldn't be a long-term customer. I donated a little bit because of his kindness. Everyone was very welcoming to a newbie! More...

I have known Chris for a long time in the Army. I've seen a lot of his fights and competitions. He's been around the world and trained with some great martial artists. I have trained with him and trust his knowledge. The only reason I'm giving him four stars is because I know his gym can get better and I know it will because every dollar he earns goes into his passion, and this is his passion. More...
