This gym is awesome. Have been out of town on a work trip and I’ve been training here while away from my home gym and it’s been great. Leo is a very personal and respectful individual and his attention to detail and pace makes it easy to follow along. Class size is perfect and everyone’s friendly. Will be training here whenever I come back for work trips.

After trying out multiple BJJ gyms in the area, I found Patriot Combat Sports. Mr. Leo is a great instructor and my son loves the classes. The gym is not only a great environment for my children but is also military and LE friendly. If you live in the area, this is a great place to start your journey.

I was very nervous to start my first class with zero experience. Leo and Leo Dan were so kind and took me aside to learn the basics before joining the rest of the class. I felt so much more confident afterwards. The class is warm and welcoming, everyone is super friendly and inviting. If you are on the fence, don't be! Join in on the fun and learn how to box.

We are new to the boxing world. My 13 YO daughter has struggled to find a sport that she enjoys. She wanted to build confidence, get more active and make friends. She surprised me with asking to try boxing out. I researched gyms and found Patriot Combat and made an online inquiry. Leo contacted me and we set up a trial class. The first thing I noticed was how clean the space was. The staff and students there are incredible. Right away my daughter was comfortable. Her instructor made sure to give individual attention and instruction to each boxer. As a parent, it was so great to see my kid finally enjoy a sport. Safety, growth and personal goals are prioritized. I didn’t feel pressured to join and it was a very laid back atmosphere. We are really excited to start our journey with Patriot Combat Sports!

It is incredible the amount of progress I've made at this gym. Not only are there gym coaches to help train, but also many of the members are willing to help others achieve better technique. There are people here at each different stage of training and the variety helps understand the big picture. I am glad I found this gym.

I’ve been going to Patriot Combat Sports for 3 weeks and the few things that jump out to me first is the instruction and philosophy. The staff takes the time to clearly show and allow you to drill every move, while correcting and constantly giving advice. The level of camaraderie among both the instructors and the students reminds you more of a family, which keeps you coming back. The gym doesn’t focus on combat, but the arts of self defense, which is taught day one. So even if you choose not to continue on, you will have the fundamentals to be able to protect yourself from harm.

I just started going here and I was hooked from the first day. The first thing I noticed was how clean the gym was. The second thing I noticed was the instructors giving great advice, demonstrating each exercise and watching closely to each person to give constructive feedback and advice. Once I got on the mats I got the same treatment. Coach acknowledged me with constructive criticism and compliments on what i did well, Also the guys and gals in class are all very nice and the vibe here is fantastic! Coaches and students all very welcoming. I’ve only been to 2 classes, but I’m already feeling like part of the team.If you’re interested in learning combat sports for self defense or just for fun. I definitely recommend you check out Patriot Combat Sports!

Such a great welcoming place, everyone shares the same goal to learn. I've never felt judged once in the 6 months I've been here. Outside of combats there's alot you can take from the environment they give you. In your first 2 introduction classes you can learn basic self defense skills so even if you decide not to join you can leave with the skills to defend yourself. I think that says alot about what Patriot combat sports is about.

Everyone at the gym was very welcoming, respectful, and supportive right away. I never felt that I was in an unsafe environment at PCS. The teaching at PCS is unbelievable! You will learn so much if you go here! The structure of the class and the engagement of the professors and coaches is very professional. In just a short month, I learned so many valuable concepts and techniques that completely changed my game. Thank you Patriot Combat Sports for allowing me to train here while I’m on the road!

If you're looking to learn a Martial Art, especially for self-defense, Patriot Combat Sports is your place! The environment is welcoming, professional, clean, and fun. Professor Leo and Professor Mike are fantastic instructors who demonstrate right from the start that they care about your education here. Each lesson is well-organized and teaches practical skills. And the option of learning more than one program, such as Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing, is awesome because of how it gives you a well-rounded skillset. All in all, I want to know how to defend myself, and Patriot Combat Sports is the place to learn.

I have never been a fighter in my life, and was hesitant to start Brazilian Jiu Jistu because of my sensitivity to touch. I'm so happy I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried BJJ because I instantly fell in love! This sport is incredible, I've never been in better physical shape and there's still room to grow. Professor Leo and Professor Mike make learning fun, and all of my fellow Patriots make BJJ feel like a second home! So thankful to be a Patriot!

We have a very active 6 year old son and often times has challenges with behavior skills. We have enrolled him in a few extracurricular activities over the last several years, but still had our challenges. I heard about this one specific organization called “Combat Patriot Sports” that has an family-oriented atmosphere. From the first day of walking in the door to check out the facilities and for our son to participate as guest in the children’s class of Jiu Jitsu, Professor Leo welcomed us with open arms. It was hard to believe the patience and structure that he has put together with these kids ages (3-7). Professor Leo breaks every technique down into an understandable steps for the youth kids to understand. Did I mention that there is a balcony where you can observe the classes. It is obvious that Professor Leo is passionate what he does and the support of his students has developed an fun, family, discipline, and safe place for our son to grow and develop his skills.

A friend of mine recommend I check out Patriot Combat Sports and so after checking out a couple of other places in town with my young son we decided to give PCS a try. I heard that it was in a church building and that Leo is a great guy who will work with you. I am so glad I visited because what I found was more than an awesome gym, I found a place we could call home and a great group of hard working, humble people who are willing to help a young family learn.As for Professor Leo, he has worked with my wife and our two young children and has made us feel right at home. The gym is clean and perfectly suited for participants and their families alike with a balcony for parents and young children to watch. Never thought we would be interested in getting my whole family involved in self-defense training, but Leo worked with us each step of the way answering all of our questions and made us feel very welcome.Thank you Professor Leo and Patriot Combat Sports for making my family feel right at home!

I have enjoyed my time learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu at Patriot Combat Sports so far. After about 3 yrs of not working out (and no jiu-jitsu background), I was very nervous to begin. However, the pacing has been great. Thankfully, the whole gym has thick mats, so falling or even getting flipped has been fun. Because of personal beliefs, my husband and I requested to only grapple with each other or each with our own gender, and we've been accommodated every time, which proves that Professor Aponte truly does care about making us feel comfortable in this new environment. I am also grateful that he has been very patient and knowledgeable in dealing with our small children. His patience has been truly refreshing! (I also like that the gym has a balcony for spectators, and that the women's dressing room downstairs has soft faux fur rugs. Nice touch.)

My husband and toddler son have recently enrolled at Patriot. First and foremost, the environment is very family-oriented and welcoming. The family classes where my husband and son can do the class together are so cool to watch. Coach Leo is exceptionally patient with my son, who is shy & reserved at first, but has been surprising us at how quickly he has come out of his shell. I strongly attribute this to Leo’s patience and love for teaching. He spends time with each child, getting to know them & their personalities. Leo genuinely cares for them and their goals in martial arts. He makes it fun for them and meets them at their level. We feel incredibly blessed to have found such a wonderful place with the kindest people to spend a lot of our time at.

Patriot combat is a great family oriented professional knowledgeable gym to practice martial arts. I’ve had the pleasure of training with both Leo and Mike the main instructors for BJJ at other gyms and they never seize to teach me something new. They’re very friendly and welcoming as well as the other patrons of the gym. They each have a million and one ways to show moves to ensure everyone will understand. If you still don’t after everyone is ready to move on one of them will personally meet with you at the end of class to give one on one instruction. I would highly recommend anyone looking to learn self defense the art of BJJ or even just trying to get in shape to try out Patriot it’s a life changing family to be apart of!

Very clean and spacious ground level main gym as well as private room downstairs for lessons. Mens/womens restrooms and change rooms. Clever building choice.. The balcony inside allows a great aerial view for those waiting/spectating, and make for some great photos of your youngins training (yes even your kiddos can join!) My experience so far has only gotten better with every class. When I first signed up I was hesitant, I didnt believe I could do it. So far I'm 6 classes in and I have overcome that mentality through our great leaders, very humbling experiences coming from Patriot Combat Sports! 🙌 Much praise to the instructors who are consistently bringing something new and exciting to the mat as well!

Looking for a gym with knowledgeable instructors and a welcoming community? Then, I highly suggest Patriot Combat Sports! I came into this with no Brazilian jiu jitsu experience at all, and after just 7 sessions, I feel stronger and more confident in the skills I am learning. Everyone is very supportive and there is something here for all types of levels. They also offer a variety of classes! The instructors will challenge you and will be there for you every step of your journey. You can tell they are passionate about both the sport and all who come to participate. Come check it out!

Highly recommend Patriot Combat Sports and it’s instructors! The instructors are very educated and teach the curriculum well. Every member is also very friendly and inviting. As a beginner, everyone has been so patient and willing to help out when I have questions or get lost on specific movements.

Took my 7 year old to intro to wrestling for his first experience ever wrestling. Not only did he learn the basics and love for the sport but he had fun and the environment was great. Excellent hospitality and instruction. Couldn’t have asked for more.

If you are new to Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend Leo and the guys at Patriot Combat Sports. Every class is broken down, and all the techniques are taught in a way that makes them easy to learn and understand. Everyone that attends is willing to help you understand as well. Definitely makes for a great experience learning a new sport.

My experience with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Patriot Combat Sports has exceeded my expectations in every way! The gym has a great community, fellow students are very supportive. Instructors are outstanding and take the time to get to know you and what you are looking for from the training. The lessons are fun and the moves are presented in a way that is easy to follow. I only regret that didn't sign up sooner. If you are on the fence about taking classes, believe me it is worth it.

The first day I entered Patriot Combat Sport I was greeted with so much kindness and compassion from everyone and coaches, I was recommended by a great friend and I’m so glad I went. Everyone is friendly which makes it a comfortable environment to learn. Coach Leo and Coach Mike are amazing black belt coaches with many years under the belt who truly care about you and help you reach your goals, their way of teaching and techniques have made me improve immensely. If you’re interested in improving yourself or skills I would highly recommend Patriot Combat Sport!
