Cruz MMA offers a great environment in which to learn directly under a great master at the Art of fighting . What I like the most is you practice in real time not in theory , when you throw a kick or punch you will see what adjustments you have to make in order to delivery that . Coach Cruz is very knowledgeable and a student still of the history. Of martial arts it’s evident by one of his students who happens to be Alex Periera the current UFC champ . All his students now have access to things capable of a road to the UFC IF the student wishes . Amazing coaching , highly recommended !
Just finished up my first session, one of the most professional and helpful people I’ve met, Wasn’t too sure about joining but they make you feel like family immediately. Would 100% recommend to friends & family.
You'll Never find an MMA Sensei that's better than Plinio Cruz in this country. If you wish to try & become the best, this is where to train, since you will be training with the best! It's run by a true MMA warrior with scars to prove it. Even if you live 45 minutes or an hour away from the dojo, believe me, the commute is worth it. 👊👊
