Everyone there is great! The 1st thing my daughter said after her trial class was" i love it! When can I go back?" Very professional, friendly, and they make it very affordable. Great for my daughter's mental and physical fitness, spirituality, confidence, as well as being able to defend herself.

G1 Academy is a true five‑star place. You feel comfortable the moment you walk in—no one makes fun of you, everyone trains seriously, and the whole team genuinely cares about you. It’s the kind of environment that makes you want to keep showing up and getting better.

We are so thankful for this place and everything they have done for our son. Since joining, we have watched his confidence grow so much. Not only has he learned discipline and respect, but he has also gained the skills and confidence to protect himself if he ever needs to. The coach truly cares about the kids and push them to be their best, both inside and outside of training. We couldn’t be more grateful for the positive impact this business has had on his life.

Safe training place, great people who will help you grow and improve. Coaches that actually care about you, not only your skills, but how are you are doing. There’s not one thing i would change about this place. The team is phenomenal.

My daughter has been training in kickboxing at G1 Academy Martial Arts, and the experience has been outstanding. What sets this place apart is the balance between discipline, encouragement, and genuine care for each student’s growth. The instructors are not only highly skilled, but also patient and attentive they take the time to make sure each child understands techniques while building confidence along the way. The environment is structured yet welcoming, which has helped my daughter feel both challenged and supported. I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in her focus, coordination, and self-esteem since she started. The emphasis on respect, accountability, and perseverance goes far beyond just martial arts it’s shaping her character in a meaningful way.Classes are well-organized, energetic, and engaging, keeping kids motivated while maintaining a strong sense of discipline. Communication with parents is clear and consistent, which I truly appreciate. Overall, G1 Academy Martial Arts provides more than just kickboxing training it’s a positive, empowering community that helps kids grow mentally and physically. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a structured, confidence-building activity for their child. 🫶🏻

If you want a great place to train that puts God first, teaches your kids about discipline and respect, take them here! I absolutely love this place, the atmosphere, the people, and the owners. I’ve trained here, I take my daughter here and I am not going anywhere else!

I've been doing MMA/ kickboxing/ jiu jitsu on and off for about 10 years now. This gym is probably the best I've been to. Mostly because of the community that come with it. Coach Larry is very dedicated to each and every student and builds a relationship with them past the gym. It's a gym where you can feel safe going to beacuse Larry keeps a good eye on sparing and doesn't let people go crazy or let people have egos. I've seen politics ruin gyms before and this gym there is none. I train twice a day here and I always come in with a smile on my face ready to train hard. I found a forever gym. If you can't do afternoon classes we have morning classes and vice versa. This gym has striking and grappling classes so I can do both and don't have to pick one skill. I absolutely love this place thank you Larry for making a positive change in my life. I love this gym whole heartedly.

A late, but well deserved review. I came in as a stranger and left with a family. The coaches and staff genuinely care about you, your goals and are there to help you every step of the way.

Great martial arts gym! The owners treat you like family from the moment you walk in the door! My 6 year old son looks forward to going and I’ve seen positive changes with him. I love that they incorporate good self defense moves into his training! We love all the coaches that are super motivating!

5 stars hands down!! I have never attended an academy like G1 and I’ve been in the ring before and trained at other academies over my 32 years. The kickboxing classes here had me hooked from day 1. Not only did I get into the best shape I’ve been in, I’ve gained tons of knowledge and confidence in myself. Everyone here including other students want to see you succeed and motivate you to bring out the best in you no matter what level you are at.Coach Larry and Jada treated me like family from day 1.My son took the BJJ and Hybrid classes and he absolutely loved it! It’s an amazing structure you the younger kids and their approach keeps kids interested and loving the classes.Thank you coach!
