Cage Combat Academy

Fantastic experience: Amazing place staff is great felt welcomed as soon as I walked

Fantastic experience: Update: 4/14/2025 There is a huge upgrade in the entire building. It has expanded greatly and there is so much room. The staff continues to be beyond amazing. I would recommend paying a visit. —————————————————————————- The Staff is amazing: my daughter has benefited from interpersonal skills as she learns the Arts. Location is Right: they are going through renovations in which (don’t mind the dust) gives hope for more tools to improve and make safety a priory as my child learns to regulate her strength, energy and emotions. Fellow Parents are part of the Cage Combat family: we learn to get a bow from our kiddos. They push the limits to remember a word, a definition and the fact that it is team effort when you train. We just get to watch all of this develop. Make sure to write it all up on the weekly report so they can get that promotion. All in all, I am glad to have found a place as this one. It will not be the only one for my kiddo, but it will be great times to talk about down the road with the family. Or maybe Coach Alex is my kid’s new UFC hero and she will be the next title holder someday. My kid is the one making the journey. I am just here ensuring this is morally and financially right. Do I have a negative review? If we all complain about not being pleased, we will never be happy. Just ensure you’re there on time, or take your anxiety meds as there aren’t many seats right now (construction… remember?) and it might get overwhelming at times. I’ve walked in and out numerous times and am labeled “being everywhere” and as a silly combat veteran with weird anxiety when it gets too crowded. I can handle the cold, so I can watch my kid from outside… but as it happened to me.. a family member may feel comfortable enough say along these lines: “you look like a creep”. I am still trying to be part of their tight group as there is always one everywhere. But grouchy vets aren’t really liked in some places. So, parents… early, sit and let the coaches do the job. Anyway. We all can’t be pleased equally nor on the same facets. so just F around and find out. lol Abe

Fantastic experience: Our 7 year old son has been coming here for a year now and we cannot express how grateful we are to the coaches and staff!! Everyone is amazing!! The coaches are 100% hands on and make the classes fun! This is not just their job but their passion and it shows in how they train our kids! They also teach our kids self discipline, accountability and how to respect others! This is not just a regular gym, they make it feel like a family!! So if you’re looking for the best coaches and training, Cage Combat is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I am happy with cage combat academy. my daughter has attended here for a few months now, she loves it. The coaches and staff are all great with the kids.

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a place to learn, grow and become a better person inside and out. You need to check this place out. The best coaches and environment to learn and strengthen your body. Make new friends and memories, while learning something new.

Fantastic experience: Our family has been going to Cage Combat since March 2019 when my son was 3 years-old. We enrolled him in classes because we were looking for him to learn self-discipline, understand an organized sport, and be active. Little did we know that we would gain so much more. Cage Combat has become our family, our home away from home. The coaches have carried our family through joyous moments and difficult times, being a constant source of encouragement and motivation for our boys to keep going and never give up no matter what life has thrown at them. The coaches have each been a pillar of support for my son who was experiencing daily bullying at school for over a year. Not once did my son retaliate or use his jiu jitsu techniques at school. Instead, he received mentorship, guidance, and developed inner strength when his self-esteem was shot. He rose above the situation and came up on top when the bullying stopped. The coaches have helped to reign in my other son, who had developed some aggression due to traumatic experiences he faced. They have taught him to channel his aggression in a healthy way and to take responsibility for his actions. They have helped him to overcome adversity to where he is now a young man of greater character. My boys have had the opportunity to compete in dozens of jiu jitsu competitions all over Southern California and even in Las Vegas against some of the best competitors in the country. Win or lose, the coaches have been there to guide our boys to become better and stronger fighters in many ways. I highly recommend Cage Combat. No gym is perfect, but what I can say is that all of the staff care about each student and dedicate their time to investing in their present and future.

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to Cage Combat for 2 years this December. It was one of the best decisions we made. He loves going and learning new moves. Cage combat offers a variety of different classes for all age groups. The coaches are amazing and my son really looks up to all of them. They offer private lessons as well for your child to get more of a 1 on 1 experience. I appreciate everything Cage Combat has done for my son.

Fantastic experience: ❤️Cage Combat Academy stands out as the premier gym in the High Desert region, offering exceptional training and a welcoming community. Our family has been part of Cage Combat Academy for over four years, with all four of our children actively participating and achieving remarkable success. They have earned numerous medals and belts, showcasing their dedication and passion for the sport. Beyond the physical training, Cage Combat Academy has become a second home for our family. The owners, Alex and Rosalie, are exemplary individuals who demonstrate unwavering compassion and care for their students. Their commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment is evident in every aspect of the academy. We feel privileged to have discovered such an exceptional place for our family's growth and development..❤️ ✨️Without reservation, I highly recommend ❤️Cage Combat Academy to anyone seeking the best martial arts and fitness experience.

Negative experience: The worst place to take your kids!! The owners mix business with pleasure. They keep a small circle of friends close and if a situation occurs within that circle, they will always side with their "friends". Wrong way to run a business, in my opinion. The owners (Alex & Rosalie) are young and still don't know the correct ways of how to run a business, especially Rosalie. Rosalie is ignorant and she only cares about their pockets getting bigger. All the bad reviews are true. The owners mask the bad reviews by getting their staff and friends to write "good" reviews. This business is not good. Alex and Rosalie certainly have their favorites.

Fantastic experience: Very clean & super friendly! I’m so impressed on how helpful & kind everyone truly is! I also like that there are always a lot of coaches on the mats! My daughter loves it & I can see her confidence growing more & more! Highly recommend Cage Combat! 10/10

Fantastic experience: A family friendly, and continuously growing facility, filled with great coaches and students. The coaches are attentive and supportive, creating a safe, clean and positive environment to train in. I have been a student for over a year, and based on my experience, I recommend to anyone who is looking to start or continue their Jiu Jitsu or Mixed Martial Arts journey, that they come visit the Academy, and give it a trial. The manager Jacky at the front desk, is super helpful and great with communication to parents and athletes, and I’d look to her for any questions you may have about Cage Combat and what it has to offer you!

Fantastic experience: From top to bottom, this gym as an organization is a stand alone in Southern California. Their mission as a whole is something that’s unmatched along with their knowledge and motivation to continue to be the best. Not only as a team but as a family. They have always welcomed with open arms from the beginning and relieved any type of stigma or pressure of starting out in mma. Whether you’re looking to compete or just go for fitness, they practice what they preach and have the belts, experience and reputation to back up everything that is brought to the table. They lead from the front and will get in there with you and show you what they teach actually works. They are a complete FAMILY gym, parents and kids training together, competing together AND winning together. If you are hesitant of starting your journey or even getting into the sport, this family will relieve you of any doubts or concerns you may have or ever thought about.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! My son has been going to cage combat for 6months and he loves it! Coaches are great with the kids as well! 100% recommended!

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We are incredibly grateful for the positive impact Cage Combat Academy has had on my son's life. They have truly been a blessing! The coaches here are not just instructors; they are role models who inspire and motivate young athletes every day. What stands out is the exceptional coach-to-student ratio, which allows for personalized attention and effective teaching. It's clear that the coaches are dedicated to ensuring each child learns and grows in a supportive environment. We look forward to continuing this journey and growing together with the academy. Thank you coaches and staff for all you do!

Fantastic experience: We absolutely cannot recommend Cage Combat enough! I have 3 kids here. They run their classes with specific goals, very organized and with multiple attentive coaches. My kids have grown so much here and they continue to improve with the way their coaches push them. All the coaches are not only inspiring at their MMA skills but also have such a strong respectable way with kids. And the family vibe here is the cheery on top! …. ***adding in something in response to a review I seen below..: she said her kids didn’t get attention like others … I don’t know her or the situation but I just want to say even amongst my own 3 kids that should happen… some kids can only take so much at a time. The coaches push each kid to their own potential and that is the best part !

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to multiple gyms & have had bad experiences that stopped me from learning jiu jitsu. But in the beginning of February, I joined & it’s been such a wonderful experience. All the coaches are super personal & genuine. Head Coach Alex, & his wife, Rosalie have been so welcoming & selfless from the moment I got there. Wonderful gym in general! There are many gyms to choose from in the HD, but if you’re looking for a safe place with family oriented values & great teachings for you & your littles. I’d definitely recommend Cage Combat!!

Negative experience: Both my boys attended this academy some years ago. We were happy they were doing something at first but we slowly started noticing that it was all about the money and propaganda. The gym is particularly very small for how much we paid a month. It got so crowded they began saying only one parent per child can attend practice. The main coach seems like he makes a good amount of money on his business and UFC fights that I would imagine he would consider a bigger gym so both parents and students could be comfortable but he just began to charge even more for everything and seemed like he focused more on the kids who were “better” . I see that he is still in the same small gym even after he would tell us he would consider q bigger gym. I love all his other coaches they were the ones who paid more attention to my boys. If you like paying big prices for a small gym & If your kid is good enough then this is for you. If not I wouldn’t recommend.

Fantastic experience: If youre looking for a family friendly gym in the high desert to learn Jiu Jitsu and striking, this is it! All of the coaches are excellent with kids of all ages, teenagers and adults. Alex, Jeremy, Dillan and Mike are all extremely experienced in Jiu Jitsu, Grappling and Striking and all of them compete. There are different levels of people training and working with each other here everyday. There are no egos here that I've seen, all of the coaches are very humble and meet you at your level. Everyone helps everyone out. So don't worry, you'll fit right in regardless of your skill level, new or a black belt. Its fun, it's always super clean, and it's very well organized!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in whilst traveling for work. Great instruction and a very friendly crew!

Fantastic experience: So much fun!! Family friendly, great place to be great coaches excellent staff

Fantastic experience: So far so good ! I loved my experience as a 40 year old woman with no experience in combat sports. Everyone made me feel comfortable. I would do it over and over again!

Fantastic experience: Cage Combat has been an enormous blessing to our family for the last 4 years. As a homeschooling family, our energetic and rambunctious son needed an outlet to express his athletic ability; and CCA has been the perfect fit. Their cleanly facility, family friendly environment and professional coaching staff, keeps us with them for the long haul.

Fantastic experience: We have been at Cage Combat Academy for almost a year now, since both my boys (ages4 and 11 stepped foot in the cage they fell in love with the sport, not only that but their confidence level boosted and each and everyday look forward to the next day in class. the staff is very friendly and always attentive to the needs of students and parents. The coaches are awesome, both my boys look up to and admire each and everyone of them, i would recommend CCA 100%

Fantastic experience: We have sent our two boys to cage combat academy for over a year now and we have nothing but amazing things to say about it. Our boys have grown so much not only in the sport but in self discipline and respect for people. We have seen a huge difference in there overall behavior both at home and school. We have competed in several tournaments under the coaching of Alex Reyes and the other coaches at cage combat and we couldn’t be happier with the preparation, and time they put into getting our kids ready. The staff at cage combat is professional, organized and all around amazing. As you can tell I can’t say enough good things about this gym. We love it and don’t plan on going anywhere! Highly recommend trying this gym out. You won’t be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best place to train for kids and adults. Their trainers and receptionist are exceptional. They are very friendly and make it enjoyable for my son to train. We as a family love going to Cage Combat, it's definitely our home away from home. The gym is always top notch and I feel at ease taking my son knowing they take all the necessary precautions to keep the gym clean. My son's behavior has improved dramatically. Him knowing he can earn an "accountability" stripe to add to his belt every Wednesday really helps keep him on his best behavior. He looks up to his coaches and strives to be his best at all times. The positive reinforcement he gets from the coaches make his day. They correct him when needed but never in a mean way and I really appreciate that. My son completed in his very first wrestling tournament this year in San Diego. The tournament is called Naga and let me tell you the experience was amazing thanks to the coaches. They helped my son improve so much in his wrestling skills in such a short time that he placed 1st and 2nd in two different categories. Cage Combat also has boxing and Jiu Jitsu, which is also so much fun for not only my son, but also for us as parents to watch him advance in so many different skills each class teaches. If your looking for a positive, family driven gym there is no better place than with Coach Alex and Rosalie from Cage Combat. They go above and beyond for their students and I couldn't be more grateful for them! Can't wait to see all your new, faces trust me you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I used to train down the hill when I was little for 4 years and then moved up to the high desert. My family found Cage Combat Academy and we instantly felt welcomed. We have been training there for 8 almost 9 years now and I have loved every second of it. Alex is the best mentor and martial arts practitioner I have ever met. Cage Combat is my home and I will always recommend it to anyone at all ages. they have amazing classes that not only teach martial arts but also discipline and self respect. So if you are looking for a new gym or want to get into martial arts come join our family at Cage Combat Academy.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Amazing coaches! Alex shows his love for the sport and everyone is welcomed like family.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, who ever said that they were all about the money is not telling the truth. My son use to go there and they are very friendly and family oriented. My son decided to do another sport that is why we left but we both love this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best place to train in the high desert great for familys it is like a second home

Fantastic experience: I've been training at this gym since it opened. Great environment, family friendly and you learn from a very experienced trainer, Alex Reyes. Started to train with 0 experience and I've learned everything from him and now fighting as a professional. Definately would recommend to anyone all ages, with experience or none.

Fantastic experience: I love cage combat. I've been doing the women's cardio kickboxing for about four years and the environment has always been positive, friendly and very family oriented. The work outs are fun and tough and never seem to get easier which is great since we're constantly pushing our limits. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to get a workout while learning useful fighting skills from UFC fighter Alex Reyes and from coach Albert who is working his way to the UFC.

Fantastic experience: Was very family oriented and friendly. Would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: I been here a year now and I really enjoy it here. The coaches are koo. Alex Reyes UFC fighter, and coach is really knowledgeable and friendly. His wife Rosalie was really down to earth and made the process simple. I have checked out a few different gyms but I really enjoy it here. Recommend it

Fantastic experience: My kids have been coming here for years! Coach Alex is such an amazing coach! He is always so attentive to my kids and always has extracoaches helping out. We are such a family here at cage combat! I couldn’t see taking my family to anyone else! My home away from home <3

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the high desert I love it !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: I would like to say CC Academy is one of the best gym to join. After having my girls try different places they felt more at place with CC Academy. They work with them. Being patent with 6 yr old who is very hyper. They are also working with my 8 yr old out of her shell and not to being shy. They treat everyone like family. No one judging anyone. Very relax atmosphere. Staffing is great also. I talk to Casey Fazzio and he show me around with my girls. Very clean and well kept place. I recommend calling Casey and set up your walk thru. So you can enjoy a great place for your family or just you.

Fantastic experience: The best place for families to learn and train together in the high desert! I’ve known the owners personally for years, they’re great people and their gym is so friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone and everyone interested in getting fit or martial arts. Glad to be apart of this gym. Seems as though most of the bad reviews are with billing issues not the environment or training.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train for all families 5 of my grandkids attend and have attended for over 4 years, Alex has helped build their confidence and is very involved in their lives outside of the gym as well. Very safe and family environment

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for about 4 1/2 years now and I love it! My 3 kids are all a part of the programs. Not only does it provide self defense and discipline, but they have great family get togethers outside of the gym too. They have the best coaches anyone could ask for. Patient and willing to give that one on one time to make sure everyone gets the technique. It’s always clean, and a family friendly atmosphere. They even have drinks for sale if you forget one. I look forward to going everyday. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone. So happy I found Cage Combat for my family. ❤️

Fantastic experience: This is a great be place to learn the disciplines of Martial Arts, such Jiu-Jitsu,judo, and kickboxing,very positive attitudes, good one on one attention. ALL in all Awesome place to TRAIN. COME CHECK IT OUT!!

Fantastic experience: Where do I start.. this gym has been nothing less that a 2nd home, and a 2nd family. I have grown and improved my overall life 100x being a member of cage combat academy. These coaches know how to work with each individual's needs and goals. If you want to learn how to fight or properly defend yourself, coach Alex is your guy!! Thanks Cage combat academy!

Fantastic experience: Cage Combat Acadamy has been a great fit for my daughter and me over the last few years. It's a family friendly gym with great coaches and teammates. Alex and Rosalie keep it fun outside of classes with seasonal events for the kids also.

Fantastic experience: I went to this gym for a few days since I live in Colorado and am currently in California for work. Despite not having a membership, Alex and the rest of the staff and members were very friendly and accommodated me well. The courses were good. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff and gym! Friendly and passionate. Coach Alex is an amazing role model and coach to all his students! Everything you look for in a martial arts gym with a family type vibe. 5 stars!

Fantastic experience: We have an amazing facility with amazing training ! Our family friendly environment is perfect for any family that loves to train together! We’ve been in business over 7 years and love our Gym family!

Fantastic experience: Cage Combat Academy is my home away from home, my 2nd family! I love everything this gym stands for! They have done nothing but exceed all my expectations from Fitness, Self Defense, and being amazing mentors in life. Alex Reyes and his wife Rosalie are really leaving a positive mark on this high desert! Thank you guys for all you do!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a few gyms in the hi desert but this was the best fit for me. It’s more of a family environment very laid back but professional and is very clean and organized , it’s in a nice area. Alex the Owner is a great instructor and has a lot of experience and I’ve learned a lot since starting here about a year ago. Highly recommend for families, my niece also attends the kids program and loves it.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the high desert, came in with 0 experience and the coaches, staff are super friendly and helpful. I've learned a lot so far and love every day of it. Definitely recommend.

Negative experience: All about the money!! Look elsewhere

Negative experience: This place is all about the money, my son got sick and could not attend we called and got the run around and paid for a year when my son could only attend maybe six weeks. They never called to see why he wasn't there and when I called to let them know it wasn't safe for him to come, they would not help they wanted a bunch of money to cancel. They will call quick if there is ever a problem with payments. Our gym in Oregon was so kind and worked with everyone, money was not the main thing they cared about. Make sure you read the fine print and remember this gym is only in it for the money. If I could give o stars I would. They remind me of a bad decision to order something on the TV where you get charged every month and have to call your bank to get it stopped. Find a gym that cares about the students.

Negative experience: Very unprofessional only about the money and the contract. Other gyms work with the students on paying and allowing a break in payments when there is a medical issue. Not the best gym we have dealt with that is for sure. look around and find a gym that cares about what they are teaching to the students and community. Look at the giant rock on the owners wifes hand and that is what kind of place this is all about the bling (money) your money to be exact.

Fantastic experience: I have two sons at the CC Academy . this program is solid . Don't believe me come try it out.
