  I currently train here, so my opinion may be a little biased. But I have trained all over Sierra Vista, and have visited other schools (from PowerMMA in Phoenix to some in Washington), so I'll try to be as objective as possible.
  
  The coach, Tony Torres, is the most knowledgeable man I've met in regards to fighting --and I've been to each of the major gyms here in town. He was a close quarters combat instructor for Blackwater (so he knows about real world fighting situations), Search & Rescue for the Navy (those guys have to stay in shape), nuclear weapons security for the Navy, and has other notable resume entries (find it on Google, that's how I did). He is exactly what I wanted out of a coach: knowledgeable, patient, and doesn't need to prove anything. There's no ego with Tony, so if a punch gets through and you accidentally hit him too hard, he doesn't need to hit you back to prove he's the coach: he just rolls with it and continues on. Every class has been previously planned, so no improv "uhh, let's do leg triangles today." He gets to know his students, their injuries, their pace, and their character.
  
  I take the Gracie Jiu Jitsu (BJJ from the Gracie family, more street applicable then BJJ), Keysi Fight Method (KFM, what they use in The Dark Knight), and Mixed Martial Edge (MMA with strategies and techniques enhanced by coach Torres). There is a focus on technique and application (disciplining the mind, teaching your body to flow, and staying cool under stress) rather then cardio and strength, so if you're looking for a cardio kickboxing class then look elsewhere: these classes are meant to train you for fighting on the streets, on the mat, or in the cage. KFM is completely different then anything you'll train in: many days we're surrounded by opponents and must defend and attack from this position. It's a brutal and efficient self-defense style (I see why they chose it for Batman). To simulate worst case scenarios we've also drilled outside or in the dark --so the class is always exciting.
  
  The prices are high, but the quality is the best. Period. You're getting what you pay for. I only recommend this school if you're serious about fighting and combat sports and want the best strategies, technique, and are willing to do anything to get that.
