Matt Larsen’s Combat Fitness Center

Professor Monte has really created a good place here. He and his wife have really had their hands full taking over the place but it’s inclusiveness, quality of instruction and price really can’t be beat.
They boast 4 jiu-​jitsu black belts and 2 judo black belts but that’s really not a concern to me. You could have a white belt teach and as long as the techniques are good then I could care less.
Fortunately, the instruction here is as stacked as the number of high ranking belts they have. The focus here is on high repetitions of a technique. Professor Monte will go over one move in a month giving everybody a lot of time to perfect and train it, and make it their own. They’re an affiliate of Team Alliance which is one of, if not the best team in BJJ competition.
The ‘fighter fitness’ class is a high intensity circuit and while brief-​makes you wish it was even shorter. It’ll definitely break a sweat and a really great aside to the technique class.
I’ve also gotten the opportunity to train in the striking class taught by Kevin Jordan. It’s a great combination of techniques, conditioning and is a work out in its own right.
I’m really fortunate to have found this place to train.
