This has been my home gym since starting my BJJ journey almost five years ago. It was something that I always wanted to try and Im so glad that I started here. The instruction is high-quality and the other teammates are class act folks. Some of my best friends have come from this sport and gym, so it means more and more to me every day.While the whole touching sweaty people is initially uncomfortable, youll quickly get over it and enjoy the sport, the art, and the lifelong friendships. One of the unique aspects of our gym is that we truly want everyone to improve. The better you get, the better we all get!
Just signed my 6 year old up for some bjj. We did the free week and he love it. Place is clean. The coaches are really nice and personal. The owner made me feel welcomed and made me feel like i made a good choice for my son. They even take your temperature at the door and make sure every ones wearing a mask witch i like and appreciate. Give this place a look you cant beat a free 7 days
Spacious, clean, well lit facility with some gear and snacks for sale. Great location and parking. Comfortable for visitors to watch from the multiple sofas. Loaner gear is in good shape. They take credit card for membership fees and purchases which is very convenient. Instructors are professionals, actual fighters who train fighters. They have good customer service skills and are very approachable.
Combat Sports Center is the best MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school in the Salem/Keizer area! I have trained at other local academies and felt like I am just a dollar bill to the instructor - Not here at Combat Sports Center where the instructors truly care about their students success. Head BJJ coach Daniel Priebe is a very legit black belt under Carlos Farias. The MMA and Muay Thai instructor, Dave Hagen is an MMA Official for the UFC. The coaching here is top notch! I love the atmosphere at this academy and hope you will give it a shot and come train with us! Oss!
I recommend this place to anyone whos interested in martial arts.
The coaches are really good people with a lot of skill and wisdom to impart. Good prices and parking as well as multiple locations. The facility in Salem is awesome as well.
Combat Sports Center is one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. Jiu Jitsu instructor Daniel Priebe is superb, offering Jiu Jitsu classes from Mon-Sat. MMA & Muay Thai instructor Dave Hagen offers a wealth of knowledge in his Mon, Wed, & Fri classes. The team of people that train here are so friendly and welcoming. People of all skill levels and athletic ability are welcome. Martial arts is a life changing endeavor, and I’d encourage everyone give it a try. Be ready to sweat; we work hard here! Bring your mouthpiece!
Best BJJ gym around. A place where I have seen great progress in my kids abilities. Leaps and bounds better than other places I have tried.
This place is welcoming to those new to martial arts, or combat sports! A clean, safe, and family-centered studio geared towards learning.
I love everything about our gym! The whole family trains. The coaches are the best around.
The Combat Sports Center is a clean and welcoming gym with plenty of parking. Classes focus on technique, so it is great place to learn no matter your skill level, gender, or age.
Danielle and Dave are great instructors patient and make it a fun and safe environment to learn something new. Come give it a try First couple classes are free to try it out you wont be disappointed
High quality instruction. Very family friendly. Been doing this a while and still continuously learning something everytime speaks without saying.
The instructors are always there to help hone your skills no matter which student theyre training. Not to mention great people to train side by side to help not only to better yourself but others as well.
All levels are welcome. Strong culture of building eachother up. Best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym in Salem. All levels have a place here whether you are a beginner or a higher belt and all will get better by the world class instructors.
I always wanted to try jiu jitsu, and Im so glad I decided to go to Combat Sports Center to learn. Since I had never done any martial arts, I was nervous about starting jiu jitsu. However everyone at CSC was very welcoming and friendly, and very helpful to beginners such as myself. The instruction from Daniel and the other coaches is top notch, and you can tell they all have a passion for teaching and sharing their knowledge. Love this place!
This gym is full of great teammates and coaches. My son and I both enjoy the jiu-jitsu classes and have reaped the benefits. There is a great comradery that we are proud to be a part of.
I was telling a friend about the Combat Sports Center gym and the instructor thanked me for the kind words and requested to post them to this review. I have been a student for 6 months. At first I just did the BJJ and now the BJJ and Muay Thai. I have lost over 30 pounds and think I may try my hand at an MMA fight. I have been training and the instructor Dave Hagen has worked with me to prepare me for my first experience. He really seems to know his stuff as my skill set has brought me to the point of sparring proficiently with other experienced fighters. The atmosphere is one of caring but hard pushing. His and other instructors really stress technique and the weaknesses of each technique so that a proper defense can be prepared against the counter. Absolutely amazing amount of knowledge and experience with Impact BJJ also part of the mix. I am a better person and better athlete as a result. My wife kinda likes the slimmed down effect as well.
Great for adults and kids of all ages.
More than a gym, something like a family
