Best gym in the world, to me. I've trained at a lot of phenomenal combat sports gyms in the area over the past two decades, and have love for all of them, so this is the furthest thing from a knock on anyone.
The approach is such that I feel I am getting exponentially more out my training, because you are practicing the sport of your choosing for the entire time; every minute is optimized and you are acquiring as much skill as possible during your training there.
There are no repetitive 15min calisthenic warm-ups which you are free to do on your own time before class starts, no drilling without resistance, no skipping rope - you are diving straight into the sport you signed up for. Not that those things are bad or useless, but as a busy man with responsibilities, I want to get the most out of my time in the gym. The KLIQ approach is superior, at least according to my preferences.
The gym culture is great, the coaches are phenomenal & profoundly great people, and you will find the right training partners whether you are an active competitor or just a hobbyist looking to stay in shape. The instructors do a great job pairing partners according to goals, age, sex, size & strength and have great oversight to minimize injury risk.
Also, on top of a large variety of training partners of different sex & size, there happens to be a ton of very tall & big athletes (6+, 200+) out of sheer luck, which if you are a big guy yourself, you know how difficult it is to find, but is necessary to get the most out of your training & preparing to compete versus people your own size. It has the highest concentration of heavyweight athletes per capita that I have seen.
To have a gym with such an approach & a culture within driving distance is astoundingly lucky, imho. This is the best gym in the world to me. Try it out, the trial class is free if I recall correctly.
