Amir Academy is the best MMA training facility in the area. Have tried a few and there is nothing like this one. I have had my son there for 4 yrs. Beside jiujitsu, kick boxing and defending himself he has learned discipline, respect and patience. Thanks Mr Amir you are the best !

My 8 year old daughter started training with Amir 2 times a week. Saying that she loves it here is an under statement. Master Amir truly cares about the kids, their well being, discipline, and respect for others. My daughter and I are so thankful to be apart of such an amazing place. She looks forward to going to class every week. This gym is extremely clean.

Master Amir is an amazing coach, mentor, and citizen. He has been providing a safe place for MMA for all ages for decades. The discipline and structure he instills with a kind, stern demeanor. Truly developing young minds and bodies into disciplined athletes. Highly recommend.

Where do I start? Amir Academy has been a complete game changer over the years with the staff and Mr. Amir with my son. Mr. Amir truly cares about the kids, their well being, discipline, respect, and demeanor to others inside and outside the academy, all while instilling in them self confidence and integrity. We are lucky every day that we are able to step foot inside Amir Academy.

I was looking for somewhere to learn actual practical grappling for self-defense, and found Amir Academy. The instructor is friendly and very knowledgeable! The classes run 5 days every week, and the prices are reasonable. They do kickboxing, wrestling, judo/jiujitsu, and other MMA. The other students here are great, and the place seems very welcoming and accepting.

There's a gym area for personal training, as well as a full boxing ring in addition to the MMA/sparring area - it's open late if you're a student, too, which helps if you have a tight schedule.

As far as the training itself, they don't make it easy here: if you're looking for somewhere that hands out belts for free then this isn't it! What I've learned here has all been very practical and authentic. I've definitely enjoyed learning here, and I very much so recommend giving it a try!

Best place I've found for martial arts training. I trained for several years and now all my kids are/will be going here. There is the proper balance between strict/demanding and fun/encouraging. This is not a belt factory. You progress when you earn it.
Plus, Amir is just an all around good guy.
