Brandon Jaggers2025-01-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Area 502 mma is the best gym that I have ever stepped into. For one the experience and knowledge that’s in area 502 is really unmatched. Head coach Phillip Perkins who is a black belt knows just about everything you can when it comes to marital arts. And he has trained more fighters then probably anyone else in the state a lot of those fighters now coaching as well. So to sum it up if you want to learn marital arts there isn’t a better place to learn then area 502. But what really sets it off to me is the gym is really like a family. The staff the coaches so many diff students of all types come together to achieve similar goals together. Everyone wants to see you achieve what you set out to do and when you do are genuinely happy for you or if you fail there there to pick you up and go after it again.
