A mish-mash of different arts thrown together salad style. No discussion of how the pieces fit together, because these guys don't think on that plane. Do youreself a favor: if you want mixed martial arts, go to a real gym like Straight Blast, or Impact Jiu Jitsu and leave this place to the D&D dorks. What some of the other reviewers said about them selling your contract to another agency is true. I worked out with these guys a few years back and ended up leaving for a better gym. No depth: just eclectic and undigested components. If you're serious about martial arts, you could do a lot better else where.
Pros: friendly atmossphere
Cons: lack of depth, lack of focus and intensity

The owner of this gym is substantially more focused on locking you into a contract than leading any martial arts training. I felt very pressured from the get go, and after I signed the contract I didn't see the owner again. Once you sign, the contract is sold to an outside billing agency. The outside billing agency continues to charge you until you cancel with them, not with the actual gym. This company makes it very difficult to cancel and adds extra fees. So once you sign, you can no longer talk to anyone at the gym about your bill or canceling after your contract expires. The workouts are satisfying, and there are a wide variety of martial arts available, but getting your money is the main goal of the staff. I strongly advise against signing a contract at NWFA. And once you walk through the door, that is all they will want you to do.
