Just about a year now and I’m still thoroughly enjoying the training, as well as the people I’m training with. There’s great camaraderie here as demonstrated through so many pleasant attitudes & willingness to help improve skills/techniques/concept absorbing, and everyone’s congratulatory fist-bumping at the end. I appreciate Jesse’s consistency with repeated lessons, while also throwing in new techniques/scenarios depending on the students in attendance — Jesse seems to pay very close attention to each student’s experience level at every class. Lessons are always demonstrated several times and Jesse is attentive to keeping the lessons very safe. Tt really seems there is no end to all the myriad moves/techniques/scenarios he knows. And don’t let it concern you at all if you’re older like me (55); there’s a few of us. I highly recommend joining Fusion Combat.

I came to fusion with no combat/martial arts experience. I was looking for something fun to keep me active and to learn some self defense tactics which was exactly what I found! Jesse is a great instructor and he really breaks down the movements and the reasons they work. Fusion is a comfortable environment and everyone is there to learn together and is super kind and helpful. I definitely recommend fusion!

We've been coming to Fusion Training for more than a year now, and it's been so fun! My kids really enjoy learning various self-defense techniques like arm bars, evasion, and punches. I love that they also learn the basics of becoming a leader and a well-rounded individual. Even on days when my kids aren't feeling super motivated, Coach Jesse is patient, positive, and firm, helping them get back on track. This has been especially great for my son! I've noticed a change in my kids' attitudes towards chores, their conversations with me, and their personal hygiene. These are just a few of the topics that the coaches and kids discuss at the end of each class in addition to when and how to use the techniques they learn.

I knew this was the right place to go to get some training in. It's been a while since I was in MMA and wanted to get back into it. Fusion was by far the best choice. I've been going for almost a year now and I've gotten two yellow stripes and finished my whole striking concepts card while still focusing on my defense altogether. Jesse is an incredible coach. He ensures that the class is educational, enjoyable, he can be funny and is very thorough with his teachings. Struggling? He's got your back. Need motivation? Covered! His motivational speaking skills are fantastic. I always learn something new and feel challenged to my exact level. I'm so excited to keep learning so I can take my first test! These classes bring my skills to a whole new level and I'm very happy with what I've learned so far. I'm grateful for having a bomb coach and for being able to take courses that actually teach you skills that improve and grow overtime. There's now slowing down here because coach keeps you on your toes. I've come a long way and I'm going to keep going! Love it here!

Fusion combat is a great place to train regardless of level. My fiance and I joined with completely different levels of prior exposure to training and we both had a great experience learning from Jesse. Jesse also does a spectacular job ensuring all folks are comfortable, polite, and safe when training. I was very impressed with his teaching and explanations, and especially the consideration he takes when introducing a newbie to fighting/self-defense.
