Dropped in to train while in the area, the head coach and owner Brian was very welcoming and an excellent instructor. The gym has a huge mat space and is kept clean. All the training partners were welcoming and skilled. Excellent gym and I will definitely be back.
I came to Precision a couple of years ago looking for creative and positive pathways for my energies. Going in, I was a bit intimidated in not knowing what to expect or how to comport myself in such a setting but Coach Brian and Ollie quickly dispelled those fears and got me in and going from the jump. The experiences I have had at Precision have been incredibly formative and changed my life for the better, giving me exercises within specific disciplines to train and improve on and which can largely function as microcosms for other aspects of one's life, leading to altogether positive improvements across the board. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their abilities within an extremely competent and welcoming community. Some specifics on my experiences: Coach Karl: One of the most knowledgeable and passionate people in their respective discipline I have ever met. Coach Jon: The Great Motivator Coach Joe: Uncanny ability to make people feel welcome, combined with an incredible level of skill and thoughtfulness on how to communicate that skill. Ollie: I often see Ollie ushering in all manner of people while conducting initial consultations. You can see him exhibiting a high level of social dexterity and sensitivity when dealing with relative strangers. Coach Marcus: Really thoughtful instruction with a great attention to the details. Coach Steve: Has really helped me come along and his classes often always feature some remarkably thoughtful and novel component. Coach Vincent: Cool and to the point, great teacher. Coach Jonathan: Always given me excellent instruction, whether it was how to do something, or how not to do something, with equal effectiveness. Coach Brian: I have never taken a class with Coach Brian but you can see him teaching the youth classes and it is apparent that he is doing wonderful things for the children's esteem and how they move and will come to move in the world.
* Coach A Truly Exceptional Gym and I've been training with Coach Brian for years, and I can say without hesitation that he runs one of the best gyms I've ever stepped into. Brian is a high-level black belt with deep knowledge across multiple disciplines — ju jitsu, wrestling, striking, and overall fight IQ. His instruction is clear, detailed, and always grounded in real experience. What really sets this place apart, though, is the culture Brian creates. He genuinely cares about his students and staff. He's patient with beginners, pushes experienced athletes to grow, and fosters an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and supported. The gym is clean, well-run, and welcoming — a place where families, hobbyists, and competitors can all thrive. If you're looking for a gym with high-level technique, a positive atmosphere, and a coach who truly invests in his students, this is the place. Brian is the real deal, both as a martial artist and as a human being. Highly recommended
Precision is one of the best gyms around in the area. Me personally being from another gym and having visited many other gyms, Coach Brian has to be one of the most knowledgeable instructors I've met throughout my 13 years of training. His gym and students are always very accommodating to visitors and new members. Whether you've been training for years or are completely new to martial arts, Precision is a great place to train.
So glad to have had the opportunity to visit Precision for a holiday open mat while in town from NYC. Beautiful clean and well organized facilities, and whole crew of smart, skilled and knowledgeable folks with positive welcoming energy. Noticed that Brian gave great pointers on everyone’s existing (very different) skills and game plans which speaks to the depth of his knowledge and teaching skills. Anyone who can call Precision their home gym or start their training journey here is lucky!
