CSC offers exceptional martial arts training services as well as a variety of other fitness and movement coaching options. As a certified strength coach, professional in the field, and someone with some complex orthopedic issues i am generally highly critical of training spaces - at CSC I know I am in the highest quality hands and feel safe and empowered in their space every time. Their staff is highly educated and experienced and I would recommend them to anyone. 💪🏻
Absolutely fantastic gym. Great location in the heart of a vibrant, college town. Welcoming to visitors with no pretense or ego. I had a great time training there while visiting Manhattan for work and bought some schwag to support them and represent when Im back home. Just keep in mind that with a college and a military base nearby (and in the middle of the Wheat State) these guys and gals are strong! Lots of wrestlers and soldiers to pit yourself against. Cant wait for my next trip to the area.
Ive taken my 7 year old there for several classes, and hes had a blast. I know Joe and Josh personally - they are great guys who love what they do and I trust them completely to train my son.... They and the rest of the trainers are awesome with the kids - they challenge them and encourage them to develop toughness, but its always in a closely controlled and respectful environment, and theyre constantly encouraging and cheering them on.I also know several guys who train there, and they love it, especially because Josh & Joe both fight professionally so they understand and can teach not just the physical skills but also the benefits in mindset from BJJ. They train female self-defense, too...
The best people. Awesome instruction. Its like Cheers but with submissions
Combative Sports Center is the home of SEVEN Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts. I have always felt welcome and right at home in this establishment. As a female, it can be very intimidating to join a marital arts gym where you’re the minority, but I have always been taken seriously amongst them. All of these men, women, and children have become my second family, and I am so thankful for this gym and its leaders. Every female deserves the opportunity to learn to defend herself, and I am quite lucky to be a part of something so profound. COME CHECK THIS PLACE OUT!
This place completely changed my life, youll get in shape, learn how to defend yourself and meet amazing people. Check it out!
I have trained most of my adult life, since 1974 actually, not counting 14 years of competitive wrestling. I started training in martial arts in 1974 as a infantryman in the Marines. At this time I hold 2, mid-level black belts in different arts and have trained at multiple gyms/schools. CSC is unquestionably the best: the most competent staff with, I dare say, one of most experienced, and some of the highest standards youll find, meaning they do it right. If youre wanting to learn Jiujitsu, MMA, Self Defense, or just do something to get in shape Combative Sports Center is the real deal. And if you dont think you can handle that stuff, did I say that Im pushing 62 years old? Ive been treated with nothing but respect and like family. Great Place!
With DECADES of Brazilian jiu-jitsu experience from 5 BJJ black belts...why would you go anywhere else?!?! This place has single handily changed my life. The self confidence I’ve gained from time spent at CSC is unlikely anything else I’ve done in life. When I started I was 209 pounds now I compete at 155. Not only is it a great workout, I’m learning a potential life saving skill. Thank you CSC!!
I have trained at almost every martial arts gym in my hometown of manhattan and surrounding area over the last 15+ years and i can say without doubt that this is the only quality self defense, MMA andjiujitsu offered in manhattan. Multiple blackbelts in Brazilian jiujitsu, Blackbelt coach in judo, Professional MMA fighters, Muay Thai kickboxing. Great crowd of tough, kind, and helpful training partners.
