Mesa Self-Defense Workshop

I've taken self defense classes before but this is the first time I feel like I'm actually truly learning techniques that will work in a real life situation. Steve is a fantastic instructor, he doesn't just teach "cookie cutter" techniques, he teaches you that if one doesn't work, try another and works with you to figure out what works best for you. I highly recommend Faction Combatives.

This is an excellent studio for both new and experienced self defenders. I checked out multiple places before deciding to join this one and I haven't been disappointed. The instructor and other students are all really supportive and great to train with. My kids have now both joined as well and they absolutely love the Teens class. KR

Faction Combatives and Combat Sports is very impressive school. I feel very confident that my baby girl will be prepared to defend herself effectively based specifically on the lessons that they taught her. Faction Combatives and Combat Sports is the best investment I ever made for my family.

I have had my 7 year old son in the kids mma class for about six months now. Coach Maiston and the youth coaches have been great and my son has learned a lot and loves it. I’m impressed with how patient the coaches are with all the kids especially with my rowdy son.

So much fun, I’ll definitely be back for more classes. I learned a lot and the instructor, Steven, made it relatable and kept me interested.

I love Faction Combatives! I feel like I have gained confidence and strength that I didn't normally have before I joined. To give you insight, I'm very petite and I'm self assured in my abilities to kick ass when necessary! He teaches different variations of Krav Maga, combatives, and self defense techniques geared towards kids and adults. Not only are we learning effective self defense techniques, but we have a lot of fun in class!

Love this program. It's so much better than just working out because you also learn a skill that may come in handy one day. Steve is terrific and very accommodating. I hurt myself and had to take some time away from classes, Steve put my membership on hold while I healed. What health club would do that?
