Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is for anyone who wants to learn how to defend themselves. What most people don’t know, is that BJJ will also allow you to apply those same principles to fighting the daily battles of life, like weight loss, stress, relationship issues, and self-confidence. You will learn how to think through problems more constructively than before, on and off the mats.

At Matt Larsen’s Combat Fitness Center, you are a part of a family. You will join a team that will support you in your quest for self-improvement. Training the techniques and participating in live training sessions, with your partners and coaches, will give you an arsenal of weapons at your disposal whenever you should need them. The more you train, the more you will arm yourself with knowledge and skills to fight all your battles in life like a black belt.

Muay Thai is the national sport of Thailand and the father of all kickboxing disciplines. As taught at Matt Larsen’s Combat Fitness Centers it is the striking and standing grappling portion of a realistic self-defense system that is equally effective in the ring or cage as t is in getting you in top shape. Come on out and experience this one of a kind work out first hand.

Modern Combatives
Matt Larsen is the man who created the hand-to-hand combat system used by the United States Army

Matt started what would become the U.S. Army Combatives program in 1995 while a member of the Army Rangers. He would go on to change the doctrine for the entire Army, create the U.S. Army Combatives School, revamp all of the hand-to-hand combat training for the U.S. and Canadian Special Forces. The programs he designed and created have changed the face of hand-to-hand combat training. This revolutionary system is now available to you.

Kid Jiu-Jitsu
Kid Jiu-Jitsu is fun!

Customer Reviews

Professor Monte has really created a good place here. He and his wife have really had their hands full taking over the place but it’s inclusiveness, quality of instruction and price really can’t be beat.

They boast 4 jiu-jitsu black belts and 2 judo black belts but that’s really not a concern to me. You could have a white belt teach and as long as the techniques are good then I could care less.

Fortunately, the instruction here is as stacked as the number of high ranking belts they have. The focus here is on high repetitions of a technique. Professor Monte will go over one move in a month giving everybody a lot of time to perfect and train it, and make it their own. They’re an affiliate of Team Alliance which is one of, if not the best team in BJJ competition.

The ‘fighter fitness’ class is a high intensity circuit and while brief-makes you wish it was even shorter. It’ll definitely break a sweat and a really great aside to the technique class.

I’ve also gotten the opportunity to train in the striking class taught by Kevin Jordan. It’s a great combination of techniques, conditioning and is a work out in its own right.

I’m really fortunate to have found this place to train.

Awesome training and great exercise. I joined with my son so we have would have some more things to do together and we love it. I recommend it to anybody even if new to Martial arts. Its definitely a plus over others and its done in a family atmosphere.

My 10 year old son and I both train at Matt Larsen’s Combat Fitness Center – and we love every minute of it. My son has been training for just about a year – and I have been going for about 6 months. It was seeing how much fun and enjoyment my son was having (and how fit he was getting) that got me to join in. I’ve lost 27 lbs in the last six months, I’m stronger now than I ever was, and I learn something new every day. What we love most about MLCFC is that it’s like having a second family there. The people who train there – every one of them – have been warm and friendly and share their knowledge freely. Everyone here wants to see you succeed & achieve your own personal goals. My son’s attention span, discipline, and respect for others have all increased dramatically.

There are other facilities that teach Brazilian jiu jitsu in Columbus, GA, two of which are much closer to my house than Matt Larsen’s – but I wouldn’t change where we train for anything. The training and results my son and I had have been great, but you won’t make better friends or family anywhere else. Come train with us!

I’ve been training at MLCFC for a year and a half now. I liked it so much that I got my oldest daughter on board as well. The level of instruction there is among the best I’ve encountered. Everywhere I travel I will find a local gym to attend. I like to see what other people are doing and teaching.

Of all the places I’ve been this one feels more like home than any. The level of instruction there is easy to follow, but more important easy to apply. Like others have said it’s a family there. I would highly recommend it and I do to anyone interested in training.
