I have been going to Badger for just over a year now and so happy I made the decision. Coach Beau and his wife Sammy are so welcoming. They have created such a positive and comfortable environment. Coach is able to adapt any workout he demonstrates for the various levels were all at. Everyone is so encouraging and positive. I have gained strength, confidence and friends. I would highly recommend them for a great workout!

Beau and Sammy the owners are very friendly and welcoming. My 10yo son has been attending self defense classes here for about 9 months now. Beau is amazing with the kids, he keeps them focused, encourages them, does activities with them that build their self esteem and self worth. It’s pretty amazing to watch ❤️ I’ve noticed a tremendous positive change in my son since he started taking classes here.

Incredible place to work out! The coach has been great about showing alternatives to each work out to fit an individuals fitness level. Not gonna lie…. You’re going to be sore!! But it’s a great non judgmental atmosphere, great coach, and awesome staff who answers questions quickly.

Love this place when I moved down here i was dying to get back into kickboxing classes but was worried I wouldnt find a decent one here being such a small town compared to where I moved from but a friend recommended them and now I go 4 days a week(most weeks lol) I always leave feeling exhausted and love it because I know I got a great workout! Couch is great and keeps the classes fun enjoyable!

I love going to this place! Super motivational, keeps me in shape, and keeps me accountable! Beau is very good at what he does. And before class I will sit and get ready and he is always super good with the kids before my class! I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants to learn some cool stuff and get in shape at the same time! Also super affordable!

I highly recommend Badger Combatives! Beau is absolutely fantastic with the kids. He provides the kids with good structure and discipline while also making it fun for them. He also teaches some great safety tips through scenarios that he performs with the students. If you are looking for an activity that your child can expend some energy while also learning some discipline and having fun at the same time...look no further!

Whether you are looking for A cardio work out, or you want to know how to properly defend your self, or just want to work on your self confidence. Badger Combatives is the #1 choice in town!

This is an awesome place to workout. Classes are fun with lots of variety. Coach is really good about giving modifications for beginner students or students with injuries.

If you truly want you or your children to learn to defend themselves, then this is where you want to be. This is a modern, realistic system that trains a person to defend situations that anyone could encounter. I have been with Beau for 4 years, and have enjoyed watching people gain self confidence in their abilities as they progress. This isn’t your normal martial arts gym, where people are at odds about who is the toughest. It’s more like a family that wants to see everyone grow and succeed.

I’ve been doing Cardio Kickboxing for a year and a half now and it is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Coach Beau and Sammy are motivating and encouraging. Our classes are full of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I’ve never been to a gym where I have felt so comfortable. This class has helped me lose weight and become stronger physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have gained amazing friends and family in this class and have the best support system.

I started coming to Badger Combatives to start a new workout, but I got so much more than that. The cardio kickboxing classes are amazing and I soon added on the Adult Self Defense classes. This is an environment that makes you feel empowered and supported. Coach Beau pushes you out of your comfort zone and teaches you to prepare and trust yourself with his REAL LIFE self defense techniques. His method is unlike anything else in our area.My daughter also takes the kids Self Defense classes and Im so glad she has this influence in her life now. She has learned so much on discipline, focus and how to handle herself in life and to pay attention to her surroundings. She is learning the instincts she needs to have in this uncertain world. I will forever be grateful for this family that Coach Beau and Sammy have built!

I take the womans cardio kick boxing class and I love it. Have been going for 10 months and I have seen alot of improvement and I feel I get a great workout in. Coach Beau does an awesome job. I like that it is a wide variety of women..different ages and different sizes. I was worried I wouldnt fit in but there are people in their teens all the way up! I felt right at home. You set your own pace and do what you can!

Review №55

Theres no better feeling than knowing that youre trained well enough to defend yourself or your family if the situation arises...the coach and students are all very respectful and help push each other to the best of their abilities...and with the world the way it is at the moment, theres no better time than now to get your child into a place where theyll be taught how to keep themselves safe when youre not there...because lets face it, as parents we want to be our childrens protectors but the reality of it is that we arent always going to be by their side at every moment, and having the peace of mind that they know how to handle themselves without you there is priceless...dont hesitate!! Try it out!!
