💪 Phenomenal facility. Always a great experience. Best location in the city. Staff is great. Equipment is top notch. You need to be here! Shout outs from the Thai Kitchen staff down the street. Next meal is on me Chris, whenever you stop in. Just ask for me. I’ll be back to hit some bags very soon. Count it! 🥊

Just took part in a special session at an after school program I hep with and it was AMAZING! I learned so much about how to use my body effectively. It was fun, and it motivated me to get in better shape!

From NY and was visiting family in the area. I attended the Muy Thai and fundamental jiu jitsu classes, both with great instructors. The entire staff and all gym members I met were all very accommodating and hospitable, the atmosphere was super friendly and inviting. Will definitely return next time I’m in the area!

Thank you so much to Allison and Chris for hosting the GGGC second retreat at Significant Strikes! Their gym is immaculate and spacious. There is a workout area, striking zone, a kids area, and a large mat space for BJJ. Defense Wipe Containers are available in multiple places for their students and visitors to wipe off with after training. There are four showers, a men and women's locker room, and two bathrooms. To focus on maintaining a hygienic training space for all, there are posters on how to properly clean your gear in multiple locations. It is very clear that safety and maintaining a clean gym for all is their top priority. I can't wait to visit again and have a go to training spot when traveling to Traverse City! Thank you again for everything you did for us during our Retreat weekend!!

Im a professional stunt performer in TV and film in Los Angeles and just moved to Traverse City. I can’t express how grateful I am to have found this gym to train in. Chris, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable in many fighting styles and explains boxing techniques in ways that have transformed my performance in just a few sessions. Really impressed with the level of expertise here along with the cleanliness and good vibes.

I stopped by for two classes: advanced Gi jiu jitsu and Gi jiu jitsu and had a great experience. Both classes had a good mix of technique on the feet as well as on the mat. We did a bunch of positional sparring as well as live rolling. Thanks for the sessions!

Absolutely our favorite youth activity we take our 9y.o. to. The coaches here are so phenomenal with the kids (and everyone else). Youth classes have been amazing for self-confidence building, meeting new friends, having a place to be himself and have so much fun while learning new skills. I am so grateful to have these guys in TC, they're supportive and welcoming of everyone who comes through the door. I don't know what we'd do without them.

I can't talk highly enough about every member at Significant Strikes. The discipline, respect and culture is taught and executed by not only the employees but the clients as well. I'm proud to have my family a part of what they've created and can't wait to continue our growth with them. If you've ever considered getting yourself or your children into the sport Significant Strikes is where to start!

My kids attend the youth MMA and boxing classes. Eddie and Cole are extremely knowledgeable. Their interaction with the kids makes for a fun yet challenging experience. The instructors provide a environment in which the kids can advance in these disciplines in a safe manner. As for myself, I attend the morning strength and conditioning classes with Joey and Allison as well as personal boxing sessions with Chris. Very organized and rewarding workouts. I am fortunate that my family is a part of Significant Strikes!

I dropped into Significant Strikes Boxing & MMA while in Traverse City for work. The facilities, instructions, and atmosphere were top-notch. If you find yourself in Traverse City, do yourself a favor and stop into Significant Strikes for training. You'll be glad you did. If you are local to the area, it's time to change your life for the better and become a member.

As a Realtor, we partner with Significant Strikes for Realtor Safety Classes. The feedback has been enormously positive. The gang at Significant Strikes makes everyone feel comfortable, while being educated on escape techniques, boxing and maybe a little grappling.

Participated in a realtor basic safety class having never done anything like this before. The instructors were very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. Life changing skills and hopefully a new long-term hobby/passion! There are people with bad intentions out there no matter where you live, who you are, or what you do. You owe it to yourself and your families to learn how to protect yourself. Cannot recommend enough!

I went here a couple of times while on vacation. If you are local to Traverse City area, you should sign up. If you’re visiting Traverse City, you should pop in. Staff is welcoming, coaches are knowledgeable, and your level of skill does not matter. They coach to all skill levels and ages. Whether you are just getting a workout in or plan to step in the ring, they got you. I’ve been to some weird martial arts gyms in the past, all over the US. This is not that place. Sign up and work hard.

A very useful beginning tool for Realtors to know and learn. Great information from Kelly on statistics of people being accosted and very helpful defense moves from the SSB staff. I think this should be a mandatory class for all agents, sooner or later. Thanks for your sharing your knowledge.

The staff at Significant Strikes is great! They had a safety class for a realtor group and were excellent. The hands on training was fantastic and they taught simple moves that are easy for anyone to use in a bad situation. I would definitely recommend going to Significant Strikes for any self defense needs that you might need. They are patient and highly skilled.

Chris, Allison, Dean, and Torryn are all incredible coaches. In just the few weeks since Significant Strikes opened I've seen my skills level up as each coach takes a very personal approach to training. Whether you've trained elsewhere or want to start, Significant Strikes is a a great place to check out.

Amazing experience! This was my first time boxing and Chris did an incredible job breaking down the steps and introducing me to the sport. The trainers here are going to make you better whether this is your first time or if you’re experienced. They know how to safely guide, while bringing the intensity. Can’t wait to go back!
