This is hands down one of the most legitimate of any fighting gyms I have been to. \nWhen combat sports comes to mind, some may think of salty coaches with hot headed fighters and mats as nauseating as the staffs egos.  If thats what you're looking for, I would suggest going back to your Uncle Ronny's garage and promise not to \"talk about rule #1 again\".  \nRight when you walk in, you have welcoming staff members who will kindly answer any questions you have regarding ACS and working out altogether. There are amazing coaches that understand that there is a major difference in disposition, as far as what you're there to accomplish. \nWhether its getting an amazing workout while understanding the technique of a fighting sport, or trying to take the leap to be the worlds best fighter; this place has the knowledge base, experience, equipment, and space to do so. The price of membership is by far the most economical, and classes are dispersed to accommodate all schedules. The facility is clean, and all egos are checked at the door. \nThere are plenty of people with different shapes, sizes, and experience levels. If you're embarrassed/nervous because you've never thrown a punch before, don't worry about it, because there are plenty of people just like you that were at that stage a few days ago.  You probably wouldn't have noticed they just started, because the coaches are, in effect, that good.  \nI would highly recommend Arizona Combat Sports to any interested in caring about their well being; mentally or physically. If at worst, try it free for a week, and you come out with less fat on your body and have met some really nice people.   \nAll that being said, I don't work for ACS, I'm just a very satisfied student that is gracious to have such coaches.  If you come in, say hi. I'll be the one in the corner doing the splits on two chairs**\n\n**If you don't know that reference, I believe you can find it by Google'ing \"Jesus Superhero Jean Claude Van Damme\"
