The Grappling classes offered at Glendale Fighting Club created confidence in my Martial Arts skills no matter where the fight ended up. World Class Coaches taught me the correct and professional techniques that will guide me throughout my Mixed Martial Arts Career.

Andrey Zohrabyan

Before I started training at Glendale Fighting Club I was always a kid that struggled with self-confidence. I doubted myself in almost all situations and my search for a way to get over this huge obstacle in my life led me to this amazing gym. I have now been training for over a year and I can’t believe how much I have grown as a person. With the help of the great coaches and the karate classes I started with, I learned way more than I was in for. Ranging anywhere from discipline to self-love and confidence, I gained it all and it would have never been possible without the help of GFC.

Shant is an AMAZING trainer! I love everything about the GFC. Shant makes everything easy and manageable that makes you work up a sweat. The customized workouts are super challenging, on top of my workout routines, the boxing training is a big bonus to adding in my cardio workout. my goal was to lose some weight, but I exceeded my workout goals even faster than expected and beyond. I give Shant a solid 5 star rating across the board. So satisfied with the results! I used to train at one of the big franchise type gyms, felt like I wasn’t getting any results, and throwing away money on membership. This is a totally different experience. I love the facilities and the management staff are very nice and helpful. Plus, it’s a ton of fun!! I really love this gym.
