I’ve been to a lot of gyms all over the country. This gym has something special. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for teammate’s to push you to the next level. Quality equipment and lots of room to roll. Five stars all day. Thanks for making me feel at home for my drop in. Much respect. ✊

The instructor eric really knew what he was teaching n how to teach get the group involved and took special attention to make sure my son fit in

Beautiful great gym and the best coaching around little something for everyone from young to old

Brent Stepanek changed my life.

We LOVE Hard Drive!! Our son does the wrestling program, and the coaches have been nothing short of amazing! Our daughter does kickboxing and she absolutely loves it! And my husband does jujitsu and it’s become a passion of his and hard drive has become a second home/family to him. So so thankful for this facility and the passionate people that run it!

Absolutely phenomenal place to train BJJ or kickboxing, all levels welcome and will learn lots. Great instructor, with a strong sense of community and a focus on both improvement and enjoyment. Newcomers always welcome! Im pretty new to this place and always look forward to my next training session.

I would highly recommend. My first day there I felt clueless and had no idea what was going on. But, the atmosphere has such a great and supportive energy I had to come back to keep learning. The environment is truly inspiring and the people are amazing. During my time there throughout the last six months I physically grew stronger and found a new sense of confidence. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable in their fields. There are so many skill levels so you never have to worry about training partners, or judgement being passed. Very warm environment and have so much more to offer than just Mixed Martial Arts itself. If you’re looking for a positive life change harddrive is the way to go. The best decision I’ve made was walking through those doors.

Been on the fence for a long time about if I should dust off my training gear and get back in the saddle. Stopped in to get my kids started in kick boxing, heard Coach Keoni talking about BJJ and HD Martial philosophy. Signed up that day and I can say that HD is the truth. These fighters and coaches love what they teach. HD isnt a system, its a process and a journey, there is no pressure and come as you are. If youre not sure give it a shot, you wont regret it!

HDPC is the place to learn and grow with martial arts. Family environment with the best coaches around. Coming from a military background I instantly recognize the camaraderie, but soon appreciated the family environment. Consistently surrounded by positive and encouraging people, its a place welcoming in nature and supportive throughout your journey.

I love beginners kickboxing! Erik is a great coach and his knowledge about the sport really makes me feel like Im learning proper technique. Every class is different and I feel like im getting stronger everyday!

Our 11 year old son started beginner Jiu Jitsu a few months ago. The coaches and staff are warm and inviting while at the same time showing the kids how to be respectful and disciplined. We love the environment. Our son enjoys it so much that he goes 3 days a week faithfully and will not let us miss a day. I highly recommend checking it out!

The best MMA gym in all of cedar rapids IA

My favorite gym on the planet. Been training Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing here for two years now and it just keeps getting better. The coaches are amazing for ALL levels. No better place to train!

This place has changed my life. I have been with hard drive for 3 years. When I started I was over weight, quite, unconfident, and socially akward. Through the family like bonds I have made on the mat I have become a happier healthier person. I have lost over 50lbs I am confident in all situations and can comfortably talk to anyone. The staff and coaches have invested more than just martial arts training in all that come in they have built a supportive and inspiring community.

I started at hard drive with the AM cardio class. I love the workouts because they are never the same and are full of positive encouragement throughout. It makes you want to come back for more no matter how hard it was! Everyone is so friendly and helpful it truly is like family. We hold each other accountable and push each other to do our best! Have not tried all of the other classes they offer but would like to in the near future. I would highly recommend giving any class a try.

Hard Drive Performance Center is the best Martial Arts gym in the state of Iowa. Jiu Jitsu, Kick Boxing, MMA, Wrestling and so much more! Great staff, awesome coaches. Learn discipline, responsibility, healthy lifestyle behaviors, awareness, strength, mental clarity and the best part feel like family. Meet great people, gain confidence, humility and gain control of your life. Top notch!

Great environment to learn with knowledgeable coaches—Hands down one of the best gyms in the area.

Just started training brazilian jiu jitsu here. The coaches are legit and very kind, and they have plenty of times available during the week to come and train. If you are lost and new or have no idea they will make a concerted effort to make you comfortable and make you better equipped to defend yourself. They strike a good balance between instructing techniques from a strict BJJ perspective and from a pure self-defense perspective. Im looking forward to continuing my training there.

If youre looking for a place to learn and evolve with family this is it. One stop shop for progression,huge amounts of love and support, lots of knowledge in all martial arts aspects floating around at HDPC...

We started this club in a basement.Actually scratch that.Barns. Yards. My friends kitchen. A chicken coup on an old farm outside of Blairstown Iowa.The family HD can walk with pride that it’s origins began before the Ultimate Fighting Championship ever existed. In lieu of having a gym to go to for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and more we had to build one. We didn’t have teachers with black belts. We had something more dangerous.We had teammates who wanted us to win just as much as they wanted to win.I love the people who come to find a stronger and better version of themselves. Those who seek to cast themselves into fiercer and fiercer fires until they the weapon have been tempered to perfection. To be cliche, this is a lifestyle. One I believe this gym and this lifestyle offers one the ability to transcend yesterdays self. Every. Single. Day. Imagine who you become in a week. Who you may find in a month. The man or woman of steel you will become in a year or two. There are no limits. Only challenges.Not only can you master one of many effective and combat proven martial arts but you will learn them from a professional and friendly staff who has competed at the highest levels.With choices from martial arts to personal training and Yoga. You choose your own adventure.I hope our adventures cross paths. I hope more they align!Coach Koch

Came for the kickboxing, stayed for the friendships, great people and wonderful coaches. The most difficult thing to do is to walk into a dojo for the first time, the rest is easy and the people at hard drive make it easy. I am so happy with the progress Ive made since 2016 both on a martial arts level and a personal level and I have HD to thank for that.Each program at HD is coached by people who care about seeing your growth. I started with kickboxing, then did jit jitsu and now strength and conditioning. In each class of about 10-15 people at a time, every coach gives you their undivided attention if you request it. Youll also always find people who treat you with kindness and respect from day one.I cant praise HD enough. I went from walking around with my head in the clouds to being vigilant and aware of my surroundings. Im a lot more confident and my social circle has grown immensely. I highly recommend!

Harddirve Performance Center has had a profound impact on my life through learning Brazilin Jiu Jitsu and meeting some very respectful and grounded people. I always feel welcomed. Watching the coaching staff interact with all walks of life: young, old, and as much diversity as our great country can offer; I feel like I am part of something that has a purpose. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has given me a perspective on life I didnt have before I first tried it. Not only do I feel more comfortable with myself because of it but it has also made me a better husband, friend, and father. I never knew the impact good people, a safe environment, and learning a very effective martial art could have. I would recommend Harddrive Performance Center to anyone looking to change their life in a positive manner through training with knowledgeable and passionate coaches that want to see you become the best version of yourself.

The instructors are so patient and professional. Those training there are like family. There is something for everyone here. Ive lost weight, I feel great, I feel like Im at home - this place has changed my life!

I have just started going and the staff and non staff alike have been very helpful and friendly.They work with the group and the individual. Weather its a neewbe like me or the very experienced everyone learns new skills and techniques.Its the first place I have actually looked forward to going back to.

For elite and beginners alike. You feel like family and are surrounded by people who take our passion seriously. If you take advantage of the trial class, you will not be dissapointed.

Awesome trainingTeam

Great environment for the entire family. Positive, welcoming and very talented instructors and students to train with!

Best in Cedar Rapids.

The new facility is awesome. Lots of programs to choose from and directed training to your performance goals.

Fantastic group of instructors and people always willing to welcome talented individuals as well as newbies to the world of mma, bjj, boxing, wrestling, cardio, and more!

I started my journey with a private one on one Brazilian jiu-jitsu lesson with Keoni Koch. This moment was in the works for about a year, as Keoni has been to my location for muscle work. It was time I stepped into his office.His passion, knowledge, and humility with the sport was the introduction that spoke volumes to me. This wasnt just about technique on the mats, this was about respect to the sport and to your opponent, and translating that respect into everyday living. We went over a few basics in that hour. I knew I was hooked.It wasnt until a few weeks later that I attended my first official beginners BJJ class. Encouraged by Jen Fields, Amanda Kupka, and Josh Burchett I participated when I wouldve been more than happy to sit and watch.The people here want you to succeed, they want to teach you, and help you. Theres nothing to be intimidated about. I felt included, and appreciated the patience that came with the teaching by others.I have also worked closely with Brent Stepanek, as well as Courtney Johnson, and I feel they and Keoni Koch have a strong leadership that has created an environment full of energy and opportunity.If you have ever thought about giving MMA or BJJ a try, this is your location. Take advantage of the skilled individuals you have here in Cedar Rapids. Youll be glad you did !

Awesome wrestling program and kickboxing

So glad I left the M.A.C

Great club

I would like to know if some teachers speak Spanish?
