Featured Testimonials

If presented with the question “why should I join Nick Catone’s Mixed Martial Arts Academy?” The answer would be simple, it has everything you need under one roof. I am a 43 old police officer, who’s career relays on keeping fit, protecting myself as well as others and at the end of the day returning home to my loved ones safely. I have trained at many different gyms/schools throughout my life and it wasn’t until I walked through the doors at Catone’s that I found a place that I will call home for a long time. There are programs to fit all the training needs for men, women, teens and even MMA classes for children, where else could you get all that. From day one Nick and his staff make you feel like you are part of a family and not just another member. He is not only the owner of the Academy but a hands on instructor who is there along with his assistant instructors (the best in the state) ,day in and day out making sure all you goals, whether physically or mentally are reached. So what are you waiting for? Get out to the Academy and give it a shot. There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.
