‘To Be or Want to Be’ If your goal is to not just watch it but to live it, then show up and train. The name of the Fight Team is "The Crucible". The term signifies a severe trail or test. A crucible is a place were molten metal collects to begin its journey, it's transformation into steel. This is the warriors way - for all battles are won before they begin. Within the “Crucible” team members undergo extensive Mixed Martial Arts training. Rigorous in our approach, training is physically, mentally, and emotionally demanding. The fighters’ bodies must be hardened, the mind tempered, until the desire to win burns inside. While some claim to be it, we teach it. While you watch it, We train it. While others dream of it, We live it.

All Team Members receive unlimited training: (T,TH)10:05-11:35am, (M,T,W,TH) 6:35-9:35pm, (S)9-10am. Fight prep sessions (S) *10-12*, and each year Team Members are able to train directly under (3) time World Champion Erik Paulson. Erik is recognized as one of the best MMA trainers in the world. If you are interested in becoming a MMA Fighter call but don't waste time with questions such as, “Can I just come and watch a class? Can I just try one class?” or “I've trained before and I just want to see what you guys offer.” We offer the best MMA program in this area. As for the rest the answer is No! If you want to watch martial arts turn on the TV. As for one class, you’re not going to know what we offer in a single 2 hr session. Here is a question for you. If it only takes one class to see what someone can teach you, why bother. As for I've trained before, great, you might have a base, something we can build from. I have been studying the martial arts for over 25 years, probable longer than you have been alive. If you are curious about me and my background, go through The Academy site. Everything you could ever want to know is there. Whatever you have accomplished deserves respect but, if you are serious about studying, learning, training, to be the best MMA fighter you can be, then show up and train. I will be happy to schedule your intro. Being an MMA trainer is not about how great I am, or how big the place is. It is about what I can teach you and how good you can become. We train Mixed Martial Artist. There are no "Muscle Heads", "Meat Heads," or "Juice Heads" allowed. Taught in 3 areas (Standup, Clinch, and Ground), the system you will learn is a blend of how all the arts instructed at "The Academy" will work in the ring. They include but are not limited to Muay Thai, CSW, Jun Fan, and Jiu-jitsu. Whether you have a background or not, this is how we begin. You start with the (2) week intro, followed by a (9) month Team Membership for $795.00. During this time you will be evaluated. When you qualify to represent this Team, you will fight. Should you decide not to fight, no problem, you can still train.
