Suthisa Krupinski 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We take our kids here twice a week for jujitsu and we love how they are progressing gradually each week. The coaches are attentive and they pay close attention to each student to make sure they are doing them right and understand the jujitsu's moves. I love how the coaches sometime incorporate other form of martial arts such as Thai kick boxing. Demonstrating different form of martial arts is an eye opening experience for our kids. We love how the coaches emphasize crucial core values such as teamwork, agility, being respectful, quality over quantity, self confident, being competitive and sportmanship. We are please with this location. You'll be surprised what your kids can absorb by being around great coaches.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful I found this place! My 4-year-old son goes there and he loves it so much. The coaches are amazing. They are super fun and at the same time discipline them, and teach them how to respect each other and everyone else and be kind. I am seeing so much change in my son so far especially with discipline. They have these work sheets for reading, discipline and healthy eating that parents fill, and kids get strips for their belts whenever they complete a certain number. My son is motivated to do so much now. I highly recommend it for any parent who wants his kids to be in martial arts because they are learning so much more here!

Fantastic experience: I saw an ad about Muay Thai and BJJ on instagram and went to the gym out of curiosity. I'm glad I did. I worked with Matt, Anthony, and Justin and took both intro classes. They are great instructors, and it's not just the belts. You can see it in the community; the gym is professional and friendly, and every participant takes the discipline of martial arts seriously. If you want to have fun learning a new skill, or plan on taking a crash course into your professional MMA career, The Academy at Eden Prarie is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé and I recently attended a couple classes with coach Matt. It was fun, informative, and he taught in a way that we all could understand going by and checking individuals as we did different moves. We can’t WAIT to go to our next class! So much fun and such a welcoming group of coaches!!!

Joe Pawlenty 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Im back in Jiu jitsu after being gone for almost 10 years. Hayden at the Eden Prairie location met me at 6 am to show me around the club introduced me to every one and helped me get into my first class smoothly. I have been popping into random schools throughout the twincities looking to find a school that felt good and was worth the money. After the 1st 10 minutes of being in the studio i knew the Academy was the place for me. I would recommend them to anybody even mildly interested in getting into martial arts. Great school great staff great club!

Ryan Williams 5 years ago

nikhil jayakumar 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been at the academy as a "beginner level" having no experience of Muay-thai before. I joined this gym back in december 2016 and been there ever since. To be honest, it is more like a one to one class rather because the coaches here keep an eye out on every student irrespective of their level. I feel this is important because it is never too late to start doing something rather than assuming that it is not a right time because you are a "beginner" I strongly recommend to check this place out, they have different payement plans, a beginners class to help you settle and you have the power to decide if you want to continue. Special shoutout to coaches justin, lucas and hayden.

baasit sumra 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great family atmosphere. Coaches are top notch and show that passion when teaching all levels. Not only a martial arts facility, getting an amazing workout with it.

Renee Mead 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The instructors are awesome and you actually get to learn how to do the moves right. Other great thing is I feel more confident if I was attacked, I would be able to defend myself. Even though I am not eating healthy as I should be. I have definitely seen a change in my body and have had more energy. It's real fun with a relaxing atsomphere where you feel accepted right away.

Shannon Rose Farrell-Jackson 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Getting my first belt with Coach Justin was so rewarding. I had never experienced any martial arts training prior to starting in November. Since then I've trained with some of the most honorable and skilled coaches, with fellow fighters who have had years of diverse experiences and styles, and have an incredible time while burning heaps of calories. It feels so good to be in shape, to feel secure and strong in my own body and to know that if needed I could dominate an aggressor and escape. I plan to continue to progress with my belts and to be an outstanding example of feminine strength for my two little girls. LIFE CHANGING - THANK YOU ACADEMY!

Ayala Clinkman 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this gym. I did a private session with coach Hayden and from just one session I already learnt new skills and drills and feel I got little better at Muay Thai. The gym is very clean, spacious and well equipped. I highly recommend checking it out!

harold uddley 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great team atmosphere! Every one is in there to push themselves for a fight or personal reasons! Coaches are good guys, they really want you to develop and learn the technique. I've been training at other gyms and I have had the most growth in this one! Brazilian jujitsu (BJJ) is great with a black belt instructor who rolls with his team and gives tips to each persons individuala style. The Muay Thai is taught at a pace where everyone from day one people to fighters can get a good sweat going and still develop.

Jeff Garcia 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: The Academy's Muay Thai classes are some of the best I've run into in the Twin Cities -- and the owners & instructors are super helpful. Never tried BJJ there, but am planning to.

Manoj Pillai 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was in town for a couple days for work, I connected with Hayden for a private lesson. Hayden has a relaxed demeanor, listens carefully and the resulting teaching style is very effective. He identified areas of strength and where improvement could be done. Based on that, he organized his teaching session accordingly. I learned alot from my 1 hr class and when I come through Minneapolis again, I will definitely be back for another private session or join a group class.
