I’ve been training at MIA for almost a year, and I love it. I drive an hour one way, and the excellent classes and awesome coaches make it worth it. There is so much I get out of their program, that I feel like I can’t get anywhere else. It is very professional, and I love that there is something for everyone at MIA. I take part in BJJ, kick-boxing, boxing, wrestling, punches & Crunches, and yoga. I’ve been to a couple other gyms before, but I feel like MIA really helps me grow as a person, and as an athlete. The coaches are very involved, no matter the level of the student. You meet so many talented people. We are all one at MIA. You’ll feel the support from your coaches and your team mates, whatever your personal goals may be.

An unexpected blend of "something for everyone". We were first introduced to MIA's owner James Gray about 7 years ago when my son took his first Jiu-Jitsu class (under Scorpion Fighting Systems). We were nervous as he was a non-athletic, timid and claustrophobic 12 year old. One thing became quickly apparent. James Gray is incredible with kids. He is a gifted jiu-jitsu teacher and practitioner that also connects and is compassionate with kids. What impressed me most was seeing how my son grew in confidence and abilities through this program.

This guy that is so great with kids is also a true warrior that trains up other warriors. Along with competing at the highest levels of jiu-jitsu and MMA himself, Jim and the rest of the MIA team have developed dozens of world class fighters including some that have made it to the largest of all stages - the UFC.

That covers two ends of the spectrum while I fell in the middle training as a guy in his mid-40's that just wanted to stay in shape while learning practical self-defense techniques. To be honest, it was the most satisfying and enjoyable sport of which I have participated. I unfortunately had to step away but I still have a great love for the program.

MIA is a great place for any athlete wanting to up their game to the next level! It’s also a great place to bring your children. We have an exceptional coaching staff, that has been working with kids of all ages for many years.

It is absolutely amazing what James Gray has done. What started out as a Jiu Jitsu gym in the basement of his house, is now a compound containing everything an athlete or an aspiring athlete needs. Literally everything!

MIA has something to offer any athlete, no matter their experience or fitness level - mixed martial arts, brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, boxing, yoga, wrestling, nutrition guidance, massage, and more - all under one roof. There is literally no better place in the state for martial arts instruction, whether for beginners or experienced athletes looking to up their game. I've been a member at MIA for over 18 months and I can honestly say it will be a life-long gym for me and my family.
