Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy

Feb 21st, 2023

I cant recommend Defensive Edge enough. From the beginner walking into their first class, to a high level fighter, DE is highly credible gym. Their kids program is fantastic, they win competitions constantly, and the classes are always packed with kids and the smiling faces of parents. The adult fighters work hard here and respect each other. When I first came, I was a bit nervous walking into a fighting gym, rightfully so lol! I was greeted with nothing but kindness and welcoming energy. Thats what kept me coming back. I have brought many friends here over the years to train and they would say the same. It is truly a community of friends with the same goals. Connor Barry is one of the best jiu jitsu coaches in the area, highly recommend hitting his classes or taking a private lesson with him. Ive been working with him since day 1! I also took the gun safety course with my wife that Rick holds. It was awesome to say the least. We learned a ton and even got to handle prop guns for more realistic practice. DE will always be my home, and I look forward to bringing my kids here one day!

Defensive Edge is an amazing school, ive trained there off and on for many years, Rick is a great guy and his whole staff really knows how to make you feel like your part of the family. The MMA and jiu jitsu programs are great for both beginners and pro fightets! Bare Knuckle Connor Barry is a great coach, trainer and fighter himself

Ive been coming to defensive edge for over a year now and hands down one of my favorite places. The crew of guys and relationships Ive built there are amazing. The training and discipline Ive learned from Josh and his crew has been life changing.
