Fantastic experience: Alex Wilkie changes lives. He’s created a community that is very supportive and respectful to the art. With barely any experience, I was able to jump in and learn quickly with everyone’s support. Stepping out of your comfort zone is never easy but it’s great knowing you have brothers and sisters beside you.

Fantastic experience: I have been going here for a little over a month now and every time I go I’m very excited and leave very happy. Al is a great instructor and everyone is very nice and supportive. I learn new things in every class. Also never do cardio and have been strength training for 10 years and this has definitely helped with that in the most fun way.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Wilkie's for a little over a year now. Many schools teach martial arts, some teach "self-defense", but few teach applied self defense. Alex Wilkie's martial arts academy is one of the few places that teaches true self defense that will help you in real situations. Law enforcement agencies know this, navy seals know this, and even Hell's Angels know this, so they train at Wilkie's. If you want to learn something that could help save your life, this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Been going off and on for 4 years now, this place is the best MMA Gym you'll find. Al is a great guy and know what he is doing. The sessions make you push yourself and teach you a lot. He mixes all of the traditional martial arts programs and adapts them to the 21st century fight styles. He not only trains civilians but is a supporter and teacher to us in the Military. He trains police officers and federal employees in hand to hand combat and tactical drills. Even the people there are helpful and knowledgeable, you won't find a more supportive group of people than those at Wilkie's.

Fantastic experience: Honestly I did not have high or low expectations at all coming here. I had vero little knowledge on Jiu Jitsu. But I will say, I’m the girliest a girl could get, and have never done anything like that in my life. I’m perky and ask many questions and take a while to understand things. I just started my first class today. But I am SOOOO overwhelmed with happiness and faith in doing something I love and in a place so accepting. Greg was super patient with me and everyone there was respectful and kind. The student that was my partner for the day was incredibly helpful and patient as well. And Alex was sooo kind and generous. I was so afraid to go here and left BEYOND grateful. Loved every second of it. I truly had fun. Time flew by so quick and I cannot wait to see how my body and mind adjusts to this hopefully new lifestyle ❤️‼️
