"Our family has had a great experience at Combat Principles. Our 5-year-old son takes both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Sanda classes there, and he absolutely loves it. The coaches are patient, encouraging, and amazing with young kids. They create a fun and positive environment while also teaching discipline, confidence, respect, and teamwork. Our son always looks forward to class and enjoys training and spending time with his friends there. Since joining, we’ve seen a big improvement in his confidence, focus, coordination, and overall happiness. The gym feels welcoming, supportive, and family-oriented, and it’s clear the instructors truly care about the kids and their development. Highly recommend Combat Principles to any parents looking for a great martial arts program for their children."

"The best martial arts experience I have ever had. I have trained Karate, Tae Kwon Do, BJJ and wrestling for over a decade. However, this was the first place I felt like I truly belonged. The owner, operator, head coach and incredible man that is Joshua Peters is a welcoming coach who has no problem teaching newbies the fundamentals or black belts nuanced to improve their game. The environment is friendly, playful and skillful. I do not say this lightly, this is my third bjj gym and Josh is the first teacher I've had that I call coach."
