Introduction: We are a Martial Arts Academy that teaches men, women, and children.
I specialize in Brazilian jiu jitsu and personal training with an emphasis in self-defense. We have been in business for 11 years with a loyal student base. My student's vary from individuals that want to lose weight to Some that wanted to become professional Mixed Martial arts competitors.
Personal training in Martial arts or fitness is a great way to get motivated and analyze the details one might miss in a group/ class room setting.

When someone asks me which gym I go to train BJJ, they never expect to hear Battle Control.
This gym is located off Piercy Road in the backside of Silver Creek Valley Road in a small business park next to Stryker. It's a little hard to find this gem at first, but once you find it, there's tons of parking.
When I first stepped into Battle Control, I was expecting to hear a gym full of people snapping kicks and throwing punches at bags and the timer chiming in the corner. But I was very wrong. This gym is more like the living room of your home during a family party. There's people of all ages in here doing a variety of things but geared towards martial arts. You got the kids' class going on in one corner, a group of young men and women dissecting Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques in another, and Dina Lara taking care of clients by the front desk. The vibe here is not like your typical gym where people go in and out and get their time in on the mats. It's more like a home full of family and friends.
I go to Battle Control 2-3 times out of the week to train BJJ, and it's been the best decision I've made. I'm now 8 months into this art and I wouldn't give it up depsite moving away for college. Shoutout to Sir (which is Greg Lara) for being a coo instructor. If you have the opportunity, challenge yourself to roll with him. Or challenge him to a dance battle. Either way it will be a rewarding experience.
Battle Control is many more things to offer other than BJJ classes and a great workout. The reason why I always come here is because Battle Control is a place where I can practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, meet and hangout with awesome friends and training partners, and be apart of a supportive family.
We often mention at the end of each class that we all help and support each other as iron sharpens iron. This vibe from Battle Control is what I love, and I hope you find it here, too. Come by and check it out. We got your back..... arms, legs, neck, etc.

Battle Control MMA has been my second home for over 8 years now. Master Greg Lara (Sir), his family and his students are the most inviting, determined and passionate people you will find devoting themselves to the martial arts.
Even though everyone trains to the fullest, grinds to get better and tap out their opponents, his students -much like a reflection of his teachings- work together collaboratively with a competitive spirit rather than succumbing to ego and self-prestige. If a pair of students are sparing and one is caught with a clean technique, the one who got caught will openly and happily acknowledge their defeat and give his/her teammate much deserved props.
Although Sir teaches classes focused primarily on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he is also very knowledge about striking, as he has a 3rd degree in Tae Kwon Do.
Family atmosphere and accepting attitude of the team makes Battle Control the academy I keep coming back to year after year, recommending it to friends and family as often as I can, spreading the word about this special academy.

This place is simply outstanding. I have trained at a few different gyms and this is; by far, the best experience I have ever had. Greg is an exceptional black belt, honorable man, and genuinely cares about all of us. He goes out of his way to make sure what he is teaching makes sense to us; which is rare these days. He absolutely embodies the warrior ethos and makes a conscious effort to pass the life style along to his students. If you're looking to get in shape, stay in shape, train some high level BJJ in a family like atmosphere, and make some life long friends all at the same time, Battle Control is for you!
