Fantastic experience: Hard Drive is the one place I have gone, been repeatedly choked and kicked, and still walked out with a smile on my face. It is a remarkably welcoming environment. Great experience training BJJ and Kickboxing. The coaches, the facility, the vibe.. all top notch.

Fantastic experience: Hard Drive is a special place with special people. Jiu Jitsu has changed my life in profoundly positive ways. The coaching staff at Hard Drive are incredibly patient, kind, talented and knowledgeable. It truly is a martial arts family vibe. I cannot say enough great things about Hard Drive and the people inside.

It brings all people from a different background together no matter of race, religion…etc. Owner is a very genuine guy that is always trying to help out our community Of Cedar Rapids by offering multiple programs for all ages. For me hard drive been home since 2006. Writing a review won’t do any justice to this place.

Fantastic experience: The greatest place on the planet. I strongly Recommend HardDrive to anyone looking to learn martial arts, self defense or combat sports. HardDrive has a very strong and healthy family atmosphere that's welcoming to all. Coaches are all extremely nice and very helpful to everyone. The owner is very expierenced in martial arts , also very genuine and caring for all students in the gym. Great for kids,adults and families.

Fantastic experience: I've been taking my child to the youth jujitsu class for only a couple months and I can't say enough positive things. My worry when searching for a defense type class for my daughter was that her coach would be some guy screaming "toughen up" or "shut up and listen" in my daughters face. We have found the exact opposite in Coach Shawn. When kids aren't paying attention, he actually lowers his voice and explains how their actions are disrespectful to their classmates who are trying to learn. When he sees kids goofing off he talks to the class about the honor of working hard and seeing the results of your hard work. Older kids in the program are positive mentors to the younger ones because Coach Shawn has fostered an environment where that is expected and they are following his lead. My 6 year old practices all week because she can't wait to show Coach what she's been working on. It's really amazing how a youth class can be fun, teach discipline and give my child intrinsic motivation all in one. The rest of the staff I have interacted with have been beyond professional, kind and welcoming as well.

Fantastic experience: We LOVE Hard Drive!! Our son does the wrestling program, and the coaches have been nothing short of amazing! Our daughter does kickboxing and she absolutely loves it! And my husband does jujitsu and it’s become a passion of his and hard drive has become a second home/family to him. So so thankful for this facility and the passionate people that run it!

George Anderson 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been on the fence for a long time about if I should dust off my training gear and get back in the saddle. Stopped in to get my kids started in kick boxing, heard Coach Keoni talking about BJJ and HD Martial philosophy. Signed up that day and I can say that HD is the truth. These fighters and coaches love what they teach. HD isn't a system, it's a process and a journey, there is no pressure and come as you are. If you're not sure give it a shot, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Just started training brazilian jiu jitsu here. The coaches are legit and very kind, and they have plenty of times available during the week to come and train. If you are lost and new or have no idea they will make a concerted effort to make you comfortable and make you better equipped to defend yourself. They strike a good balance between instructing techniques from a strict BJJ perspective and from a pure self-defense perspective. I'm looking forward to continuing my training there.

Fantastic experience: If youre looking for a place to learn and evolve with family this is it. One stop shop for progression,huge amounts of love and support, lots of knowledge in all martial arts aspects floating around at HDPC...

Keoni Koch 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: We started this club in a basement. Actually scratch that. Barns. Yards. My friends kitchen. A chicken coup on an old farm outside of Blairstown Iowa. The family HD can walk with pride that it’s origins began before the Ultimate Fighting Championship ever existed. In lieu of having a gym to go to for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and more we had to build one. We didn’t have teachers with black belts. We had something more dangerous. We had teammates who wanted us to win just as much as they wanted to win. I love the people who come to find a stronger and better version of themselves. Those who seek to cast themselves into fiercer and fiercer fires until they the weapon have been tempered to perfection. To be cliche, this is a lifestyle. One I believe this gym and this lifestyle offers one the ability to transcend yesterdays self. Every. Single. Day. Imagine who you become in a week. Who you may find in a month. The man or woman of steel you will become in a year or two. There are no limits. Only challenges. Not only can you master one of many effective and combat proven martial arts but you will learn them from a professional and friendly staff who has competed at the highest levels. With choices from martial arts to personal training and Yoga. You choose your own adventure. I hope our adventures cross paths. I hope more they align! Coach Koch

Fantastic experience: Our 11 year old son started beginner Jiu Jitsu a few months ago. The coaches and staff are warm and inviting while at the same time showing the kids how to be respectful and disciplined. We love the environment. Our son enjoys it so much that he goes 3 days a week faithfully and will not let us miss a day. I highly recommend checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Harddirve Performance Center has had a profound impact on my life through learning Brazilin Jiu Jitsu and meeting some very respectful and grounded people. I always feel welcomed. Watching the coaching staff interact with all walks of life: young, old, and as much diversity as our great country can offer; I feel like I am part of something that has a purpose. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has given me a perspective on life I didn't have before I first tried it. Not only do I feel more comfortable with myself because of it but it has also made me a better husband, friend, and father. I never knew the impact good people, a safe environment, and learning a very effective martial art could have. I would recommend Harddrive Performance Center to anyone looking to change their life in a positive manner through training with knowledgeable and passionate coaches that want to see you become the best version of yourself.

Leah VanHyfte 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend. My first day there I felt clueless and had no idea what was going on. But, the atmosphere has such a great and supportive energy I had to come back to keep learning. The environment is truly inspiring and the people are amazing. During my time there throughout the last six months I physically grew stronger and found a new sense of confidence. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable in their fields. There are so many skill levels so you never have to worry about training partners, or judgement being passed. Very warm environment and have so much more to offer than just Mixed Martial Arts itself. If you’re looking for a positive life change harddrive is the way to go. The best decision I’ve made was walking through those doors.

Josh Fields 4 years ago

Learn discipline, responsibility, healthy lifestyle behaviors, awareness, strength, mental clarity and the best part feel like family. Meet great people, gain confidence, humility and gain control of your life. Top notch!

Leah Moore 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Came for the kickboxing, stayed for the friendships, great people and wonderful coaches. The most difficult thing to do is to walk into a "dojo" for the first time, the rest is easy and the people at hard drive make it easy. I am so happy with the progress I've made since 2016 both on a martial arts level and a personal level and I have HD to thank for that. Each program at HD is coached by people who care about seeing your growth. I started with kickboxing, then did jit jitsu and now strength and conditioning. In each class of about 10-15 people at a time, every coach gives you their undivided attention if you request it. You'll also always find people who treat you with kindness and respect from day one. I can't praise HD enough. I went from walking around with my head in the clouds to being vigilant and aware of my surroundings. I'm a lot more confident and my social circle has grown immensely. I highly recommend!

Sean Tilson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: This place has changed my life. I have been with hard drive for 3 years. When I started I was over weight, quite, unconfident, and socially akward. Through the family like bonds I have made on the mat I have become a happier healthier person. I have lost over 50lbs I am confident in all situations and can comfortably talk to anyone. The staff and coaches have invested more than just martial arts training in all that come in they have built a supportive and inspiring community.

Fantastic experience: HDPC is the place to learn and grow with martial arts. Family environment with the best coaches around. Coming from a military background I instantly recognize the camaraderie, but soon appreciated the family environment. Consistently surrounded by positive and encouraging people, its a place welcoming in nature and supportive throughout your journey.

lisa gillespie 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started my journey with a private one on one Brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson with Keoni Koch. This moment was in the works for about a year, as Keoni has been to my location for muscle work. It was time I stepped into his office. His passion, knowledge, and humility with the sport was the introduction that spoke volumes to me. This wasn't just about technique on the mats, this was about respect to the sport and to your opponent, and translating that respect into everyday living. We went over a few basics in that hour. I knew I was hooked. It wasn't until a few weeks later that I attended my first official beginners BJJ class. Encouraged by Jen Fields, Amanda Kupka, and Josh Burchett I participated when I would've been more than happy to sit and watch. The people here want you to succeed, they want to teach you, and help you. There's nothing to be intimidated about. I felt included, and appreciated the patience that came with the teaching by others. I have also worked closely with Brent Stepanek, as well as Courtney Johnson, and I feel they and Keoni Koch have a strong leadership that has created an environment full of energy and opportunity. If you have ever thought about giving MMA or BJJ a try, this is your location. Take advantage of the skilled individuals you have here in Cedar Rapids. You'll be glad you did !

Fantastic experience: I started at hard drive with the AM cardio class. I love the workouts because they are never the same and are full of positive encouragement throughout. It makes you want to come back for more no matter how hard it was! Everyone is so friendly and helpful it truly is like family. We hold each other accountable and push each other to do our best! Have not tried all of the other classes they offer but would like to in the near future. I would highly recommend giving any class a try.
