Professor Eddie is the best!!! He is the most down to earth professor I have come across. I have been to numerous gyms in different states and he is the real deal. It can be a fast paced environment, but rest assured there is no room for any BS. He gets straight to the point and is very attentive. They have the best variety of classes and schedule is very fitting. Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, mma and even Judo! The prices are the best ever for having so many different arts they teach. I had to stop due to medical issues, but look forward to coming back someday. A free week trial never hurts anybody, give Abunai a try if you are on the fence. 🤙 🤙 🤙
When I moved to Phoenix in 2023, I set out to find the right MMA gym—one that truly felt like home. Having trained for decades at top-tier gyms like American Top Team and Strongstyle, I knew exactly what I was looking for. Abunai isn’t just another gym; it’s a family. From day one, Coach Eddie and the entire staff made it clear that here, you’re not just a number—you’re part of something bigger. Eddie isn’t like some coaches who barely notice whether you show up or not. He genuinely cares about your progress, your goals, and your growth as a fighter and as a person. He pushes you not because he has to, but because he knows you want more for yourself. And that kind of support is rare. I’ve been in this game a long time, seen all kinds of gyms and programs, and I can confidently say I wouldn’t train anywhere else. If you’re serious about your goals and want to be surrounded by a team that will push you, support you, and bring out the best in you—Abunai is the place. But like anything in life, you have to show up.
Avoid. The owner, or at least someone that works there lost their cool because of a parking spot. They got out of their truck and smacked their hand on the no parking sign several times like a petulant child. This on Saturday when they are not open. Who would want to learn MMA from from someone that impatient? Just asking. Be careful with that kind of temper. After all character is what you do when no one is looking .
Coaching staff are very knowledgeable on their teaching. You’ll never meet a hard working person like Professor Eddie is very patient and dedicated to his students, I’d never bring my kids anywhere else. Highly recommended ABUNAI MMA!
My family and I Absolutely love Abunai! The coaches are great! Professor Eddie is beyond amazing! His technique and ability to teach is unbelievably incredible! If you ever get a chance to train here this is the place for you! Nothing else like it around! Thank you to Professor and all the amazing coaches for all you do!
