Never heard of them before now but their website lists an impressive list of pro fighters so chances are they're top notch.

They are training competitors and pros. That's always a good sign.

Their guys are entering MMA events and doing decent, so I'd say it's a good school. I couldn't locate exactly who their BJJ instructor is although.

I think the bjj instructor is Danny Suarez. Here's his info:

Steve Katz was my senior black belt way back when I started out in TKD nearly 20 yrs ago...his TKD is old school...meaning he liked to do full contact without gear, much like the kyokushin guys, and he was also a talented boxer - taught me a lot of my own boxing skills. I lost touch with him for 15 years, then ran into him again at a promotion test, where I heard he had started this gym - I'm not exactly sure what he's been up to competition wise, but I can tell you he looks the same as he did then...built like tank, strong, and tough. I think it'd be worth it to check out his place, if you're interested...worst case scenario is you waste a few dollars for a few days.
