Best Gymnasium School Springfield Near Me

D Sinopoli: Positive:ProfessionalismGreat school , great people , state of the art facility and one of the most talented , well rounded martial artists I’ve ever had the privilege of training under. You definitely want to check this school out you won’t be disappointed.

Keegan Yentsch: I’ve been training with Shihan Walt since 2002 and during that time he has brought in numerous living legends and other World Class coaches to help us his students reach our utmost potential as Martial Artists. But, during that time I have still yet to meet another Martial Artist, or person for that matter who is more dedicated to their craft, their students, becoming the best version of themselves possible, or a better living example of what the Samurai called the Bushido Code than him. If you want the absolute most “no nonsense”, well rounded, practical, constantly evolving, passionate, grounded in Reality, and family oriented Martial Arts instruction out there, look no further than Shihan Walt Lysak Jr and his school Sento MMA Academy.

Tom Clare: Great insight and technique. Highly recommend .

Yedi Waiters: Great place to train

Hyabussa: I trained under Shihan Lysak for many years and can honestly corroborate the reviews posted before mine. Lysak's Sento Method is a complete training package that gives you the tools to feel safe and get fit! With the strong emphasis on core values I would entrust my children under Shihan Lysak(s) guidance!

Mikes Funky Fam Blog: Sehan and the guys are exceptional. Great enviroment and awesome trainers. No wonder this place have perfect reviews.. bless

Shawn Antunes: This place is awesome

Jonathan Metcalf: This school reflects the deepest commitment to its students desires to be strong and decent people. You will not find a more educated staff on the subject of self defense or in martial arts. If you want to be more fit or feel more safe, look no further.

Gus Sanchez: I agree with Mr. Burgess, Walt Lysak's education provides an all around superior technical skill combined with interpersonal skill to all who trained and live by his principles. I also had the luck to observe my son Alex's incredible growth for 8 years (from 9 to 17 years old) with Walt's Mixed Martial Arts training and it provided the deep foundation he carries with him today.Walt's system is methodical and provides deep understanding of Martial Arts defensive and offensive techniques. It provides immediate hands-on application from day one. It adjusts to everyone's level and challenges you all the way through. Walt will pair you with other students with the same skill, or higher, to challenge you all the way through all his "belt" degree levels, making you earn everyone of them. He also pairs you with lower level students to let you help others with lower skills. He makes all his classes very dynamics including active grappling and combat situation. Students have total control of the intensity on these exercises.You can not get a better Martial Art's education than at: "Lysak's Academy of Mixed Martial Arts!".

Frank Mallette: I love it but need to no how much it cost and do we have to pay monthy or weekly

Edward Burgess: My three children attended classes at Lysak's from the time they were 5 or 6 until they were teenagers. As a parent, I can't say enough good things about Walt, his program, and the rest of the staff. My son is now 25 and a U.S. Marine. He still loves training and stops in to the dojo whenever he's in town. My daughters don't live at home anymore, (NYC and UMass) and I worry a LOT less about them since they each have about 10 years of Walt's training.Most importantly, Walt stresses values and principles like discipline and respect, and I believe his influence helped them make good decisions as teenagers and become better, happier and more productive adults.Walt made my job as a parent easier, and I will always be grateful for the positive influence he and his program had on my family.

diajiah guzman: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Valuei reaally like it im have my gym but this is a nice one

Titus: Everyone there is extremely nice

Animal 413: The diamond in the rough. While being low key f.a.a. has produced top level fighters who have gone to perform in the UFC, bellator, and many other organizations. But don't worry they offer classes for all levels children to the retired. Training offered for bjj, muay tai, boxing, wrestling, kickboxing and cardio training. Get in shape, learn to defend yourself, gain confidence and create some friends. Stop in and try it free for a week.

imad awkal: Positive:Quality

Marie Rodriguez: Its friendly and you learn so good fighting moves

Piotr Syper: FAA is great place for anyone that wants to stay in shape while learing how to fight. Jeremy is a great coach. You can tell that he loves what he does and likes to teach. This is a great place for begginers of all ages. I started going 6 months ago and if anything i wish i signed up sooner but i was nervous thinking its just for people that want to be fighters and i wouldn't fit in. There's people here of all skill levels and everyone's willing to help out the newcomer. Dont hesitate and sign up.

Stephen Hupfer: I hate going to the gym. Like REALLY hate going. I've been going to FAA for just over a week now and I've never had more fun getting in a workout than I have here. All the instructors are very friendly and helpful through every class I've done. The environment is all about learning and growing. Jer has a really great place and I can't wait to learn more. Can't recommend it enough.

ziad awkal: very friendly people, they treat you like family

Jim Stanczak: I can't say enough good things about FAA. It is rare to find a place with this level of expertise while still being welcoming to participants of all levels. Jeremy is the freakin' Yoda of combat sports, a terrific motivator always pushing students to do their best, and on top of all that, does a phenomenal job with the children's classes. It is no surprise that the other coaches and students drawn here share those values and are just great people to be around.

Tim Flores: FAA has been nothing less than excellent since I have joined. I've been to many gyms but none have what FAA offers. Many gyms are heavy in one aspect of MMA and can be shallow when touching on other arts not of their specialty. All the coaches here are deeply knowledgable in their art and work well individually with their students. The head Coach is a wizard When stringing all arts together. Everyone who is apart of the team is great and a family. The atmosphere, attitude, & hard work here is like none other. Love it!

Michael Rodriguez: FFA has been and continues to be a wonderful experience. Instructors are knowledgeable and willing to help. They teach a variety of different fighting styles, for all ages. The gym is clean and includes a cage, open mats, punching bags and a weight room. I highly recommend FFA.

Joe “The Artist” Leonard: My experience with FAA has been better than expected. Jeremy Libiszewski along with his talented group of instructors brings combats sports to Western MA in a great way. The gym is one of the finest in the area with open mats, a cage, a kick boxing ring, and plenty of bags. They are very involved with their community frequently having the local high schoolers in to work off season wrestling drills, host benefit submission grappling tourneys, and entering the many talented fighters training in part or entirely out of FAA in MMA competitions. If you are interested in experiencing MMA in a safe and well taught manner then head over to see these guys.

Paige Couture: Gabriel Gladiator Training Center offers three drop-in style kids classes during the week, which helps with my family's crazy schedule. Gabriel has created a family-friendly center that encourages family engagement and support. Kids are taught skills both on and off the mat, including teamwork, good sportsmanship, and resilience. The coaches are approachable and available to answer questions and comments. If you're interested in jiu jitsu, this is the gym to go to. It's a big family here.

Melanie Lubas: Gabriel Gladiator Training Center is very family friendly and extremely welcoming. Jiu Jitsu and other martial arts were never my thing but my husband and daughter love it!!! After a year of her training, I even started the women’s cardio kickboxing class with Maya and hooked!!!! Couldn’t ask for a better team of trainers!! Thank you for all you do!!

Crystal Rocco: I’ve been a member since 2015 and this is by far the best place to work out. This is a family friendly gym where everyone is accepted. My son is on the Autism Spectrum and was being bullied so after watching many of my classes for years he asked Gabriel to join the kids Jiu Jitsu classes and Gabriel knew exactly what my son needed and set him up for success. He has loved it ever since. I highly recommend becoming part of the Gladiator family.

Axel Bracero: My son was here for 2 years and he didn't learn anything because Gabriel the owner never worked with my son, Gabriel only works with his own son and the others students that are advanced and the staff are rude and this school is only for white people no black or Spanish kids 😕 🤔 and at summer is so hot inside because they don't have air conditioning this is the worst school 👎👎👎👎👎

Sarah Dunn: Such a great place! The instructors are professional and respectful. My kids have learned so much and gained a lot of confidence. Gabe, Mark, Nick and the rest of the staff are so encouraging and helpful to all the kids.

Bob: Excellent staff and environment. Various skill level training. Multiple disciplines. Respect for Gladiator. A jewel in West Springfield. Matar o Leão 🦁!!!

Tara Kavanaugh: Love this place! Women’s conditioning and kickboxing classes are outstanding. Love the instructors! Super supportive, encouraging staff. Love Gabe! Children’s jiu jitsu class is best in area. Highly, highly recommend Gabriel Gladiator Jiu Jitsu and Training Center and would recommend to everyone!

BJJ GG: Gabriel Gladiator Is The Best BJJ Coach I train there and they are all so nice to me andThey have good service there good place to go to!

Anamaris Oyola: Worst place ever to have a child in, very UN professional, disrespectful teachers, save ur money & run somewhere else, my son spent 2 yrs & learned absolutely nothing 🤦‍♀️🤣 was always treated very poorly by teacher's & staff, & teachers only help who they want NOT ALL KIDS!! ALWAYS FEALT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE & UN WANTED!! 🤦‍♀️

SHSNI OUTREACH: Gabriel does a great job at training the kids and the other folks that help out they're really caring to get the kids to work out challenge yourself so I'm looking forward to staying there have a blessed day

Jacob Rodriguez: Love it here! Because of the great teachers, fellowship, challenges, fitness and more I’ve won 4 gold medals with zero losses at the naga tournaments. I’ve been her for a about a year now and I have 4 stripes on my white belt, it’s nice to learn, and grow from where you started. The staff easily help you do that. So that’s why I really love this place.

Dianabel C: Took my 9 year old for an initial class and had a hard time finding someone to notify that we were there. There are so many kids in the class and so few instructors that my son pretty much just stood around observing. He was barely even acknowledged. It all looked like a mess. Parents also have to stay the entire time (which I would do anyway), but there is hardly any seating or an area to accommodate everyone.

-Spence -: Best gym I've been to with a lot of great people. Wouldn't go anywhere else!

Cameron Hartling: Positive:Professionalism

Brendan Sheehan: Positive:Professionalism,QualityI have been here for almost 9 years, great family atmosphere! Gabe is an amazing teacher and mentor. I have seen Gabe and other instructors there give 110% for everyone. My Granddaughter absolutely loves going to class and helps her build self-confidence. The new expanded area for training is just amazing as well.

Damaris Ortiz: I love it, love going to classes. Gabe and the staff are awesome, definitely recommend this place it's both adult and children friendly.

Vladimir Valchev: Started here some 4 months ago, as a 3rd stripe white belt. The guys are super friendly and make you feel like one of them really fast! Knowledgeable and extremely good passers!Gabriel is amazing and his knowledge in MMA makes things even better !Ossu! 🥋👊

Dominic Garcia: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Devlin Petifer: Only been here two days and I already love the environment, the trainers, and the facility
