What to Expect in Class
You will be welcomed into a family like atmosphere. Egos are checked at the door. Every class is fun, engaging, and different. You will start off with a warmup, followed by practicing simple strikes that lead into the focused techniques for the day. Lastly, we finish up with a burnout that tests what you have learned that day and pushes you to new limits. Everyone goes at their own pace, but we do push you to give it your all!

Both of my boys attend the teen classes at Faction and have been for about six months. They love it!! The owners Steven and Kim are amazing! They work with the kids on all types of self defense and talk with them a lot about when to fight, times to walk away, difference between a kid your size and an adult and what to do based on those factors. My boys told me they NEVER want to stop going!

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.

Love this gym. Steve is a great instructor and a great guy. All of the instructors are great, the gym is nice, and the schedule format and flexibility is awesome. I would highly recommend Faction Combatives & Combat Sports to anyone interested in learning how to better defend themselves and their loved ones, while also improving physical fitness and mental toughness. A+ organization.

My brother attends Steve's teen combatives class and loves it. Steve can relate to the teens and has fun with them. I have seen my brother get stronger and more confident. This is a great place to learn some great self-defense moves!
