FREE TRIAL CLASS

AWESOME class and really great instructor. Steven is a great teacher and highly skilled. He is the only MBC certified instructor in the region. Class times are convenient, tuition is extremely affordable, and, again, the skills you learn you can't even put a price on. I would recommend TAC self-defense to anyone and everyone.

So it’s been 4 months since I started at Faction Combatives. I’ve been taking the MMA class with Maiston every day at 8:30am and sometimes hitting the evening class. I’ve managed to learn a great deal In this time as we focus on BJJ, Kick boxing, Muay Thai, and wrestling. One of my biggest reservations about training earlier in my life is that I just didn’t want to get seriously injured or knocked out in sparring. I discussed this with Steve the owner before hand to see what the vibes were. I was assured that they do not run the gym in that way, and now I can confirm this. Everything is focused and controlled so if you have any reservations like I did, ditch em and jump in. Best thing I’ve done in a long time. As an individual I’m hyper focused on music, so I needed that interest Outside of my main focus. This has checked all the boxes for me and I don’t feel like I could have lucked out better than getting a trainer like Maiston. He’s such a well rounded athlete with a super inspiring attitude toward combat sports. I’m even thinking about enrolling my daughter in the kids class. Other members are rad, super respectful of others different abilities and experience. I’ve made a few friends from there. If you’re interested and want to try out they have a free week where you can check out the classes. They also offer straight BJJ training, Krav Maga and much more. The gym is super clean, all the mats were just updated and the loaner gear is cleaned daily. Couldn’t say a better word about the place.

Started attending classes at Faction about two months ago. Steve is hands-down the best martial arts instructor that I've come across, and I have experience with a few prior. I say that not only due to his knowledge, which seems extensive, but due to his approach, attitude and demeanor. He's approachable, he listens, he's pragmatic, and he's empathetic. After a 12-year hiatus from martial arts, Steve's approach has been a breath of fresh air for me, and he provides all students with a self-tailored approach to how they want to learn and apply what they have learned. The classes I've attended mostly have a diverse mixture of attendees, spanning age groups and genders. It makes for a great learning environment. He also offers classes for kids and I've watched some of those while waiting for my classes to begin, and he's really great with the kids. He also incorporates cardio and strength training into most if not all of his classes. And while Steve draws upon numerous martial arts during his combatives instructions, like Krav Maga, you can also attend other classes at Faction if you want to, including Muay Thai, Thai boxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ). This is a 5-star place and I'm planning on being a longtime member.

Such a cool place! They were so friendly and invited myself and my kids in to check it out. Evan was awesome and I’m so excited for my first class!

I've been coming to the combatives/krav maga class for 2 consecutive weeks now, after having a free week a few months ago I decided to sign up. The atmosphere is awesome, the teachers are super knowledgeable and encouraging and I feel very comfortable and safe. Honestly I couldn't recommend this place enough. As a woman looking to learn self defense I can personally say it's exactly what I needed.
