moreawesome instructor and students to flow with, very knowledgeable and just a chill vibe 🤙
Clay and the crew were so awesome. They welcomed us and we had such a great time. Great atmosphere and chill vibes! Thanks DBA!
Absolutely one of the best places to train. Very safe, friendly and fun environment. The techniques range from beginners to advanced. Excellent combos, real life scenarios, MMA application, etc. Professor Clay and his team are some of the best and I'm glad they welcomed me in while in Norfolk. Looking forward to training here as often as possible. 🥇
