Underdog MMA is an excellent gym with a welcoming, supportive culture. Russel and Johnny are extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping members improve. Every instructor is skilled, encouraging, and makes the environment feel inclusive whether you’re new or experienced. Great coaching, great atmosphere, and an awesome community. Highly recommend.
Fantastic gym and great instruction. Would recommend to all levels, with a high level of coaching and a very welcoming team across lots of disciplines. I look forward to returning for more BJJ!
I was visiting all the way from Maryland on a business trip, and this place did not disappoint. I dropped in for a sparring session and was met with high-level fighters and top-tier etiquette — something I truly respect in a gym. I've been training for almost 3 years now, and I can confidently say this gym is top-notch. Big thanks to Coach Russell for welcoming me in. My only regret is not having more time to train here... but I’ll definitely be back!
Top tier training facility for fitness and martial arts. It’s a one stop shop for you and your family. You really get your bang for your buck, especially if you have a busy schedule. You don’t need a separate gym membership. They offer multiple classes all day (including the best strength & conditioning program), running in parallel for both adults and kids, and professional instructors. My kids and I have learned and developed so much here. Thank you Underdog MMA!!
Wow lots to say about this academy. First of all the facilities are great! Tons of mats, workout equipment, showers etc. I attended the NoGi and Gi class (in that order) as an out of state guest; my professor used to train here regularly and recommended I visit. I liked that the NoGi and Gi class did the same technique so it helped me learn it much better. I rolled with a lot of colored belts and one of the professors. Fantastic rolls. Wonderful welcoming attitude from everyone. They even let my local friend join the class last minute. Thank you for hosting me and my friend.
