We’ve had a fantastic experience with the kids program! Coach Max and the team bring such positive, engaging energy to every class, making it a great environment for kids to learn and grow. The studio itself is clean, spacious, and modern, and Dan, the owner, has been incredibly accommodating and welcoming. We’re very happy with our experience so far and would absolutely recommend it to any family looking to get their child involved in martial arts.
Worcester MMA has been amazing in not just training my daughters to defend themselves, but also in providing discipline and respect. The Worcester MMA crew are welcoming, knowledgeable, and as nice as someone trying to tear your shoulder from your socket twice a week can be. Seriously though, kidding aside, I cannot recommend them enough for instruction for all ages. We’ve been going for two years now, and couldn’t be happier with their teaching.
Super friendly gym with an awesome community. Coach Dan was a cool guy with really clear, detailed instruction. Definitely recommend checking them out!
Joined brand new to BJJ as a senior in college. Everyone is super nice and accommodating. The coaches are terrific, and there are classes for people of all levels—great gym with an even better culture.
We've been training at WMMA for about 6 months after starting out at a different gym for about 6 months. My son competes regularly and since coming to WMMA his skills and technique have grown exponentially. The coaches are awesome. Each one has a slightly different style and approach to instruction. It's beneficial to have so many knowledgable coaches who don't push competitions but certainly encourage those interested in competing. Dan the owner is a great person. Not only is he knowledgable in Jiu Jitsu but just a great human being to talk to. A straight shooter who genuinely cares for his students and will go out of his way to ensure their success. You know what Dan expects and is awesome at explaining/demonstrating technique. You'll never lack knowledge of why you are doing something a certain way. Coach Max who teaches the kids classes is the perfect instructor for kids. He does well at redirecting their attention, offering encouragement, and laying out expectations. Max seemingly never gets frustrated with the kids and is gifted with limitless patience. Coach Nick is a wealth of knowledge. He does adult classes and is eager to assist during drills and explain things to those of us who a bit slower to pick things up. Always eager to help, Nick seems to really shine by connecting moves throughout the week to previous techniques shown. It has helped me with retention. Having left our first gym where questions were often answered with "If you end up here there's nothing you can do. You're screwed!" WMMA coaches seem so much more knowledgable when they readily share escapes from all kinds of positions. I'm not left feeling like if I get "caught" in a position then I'm an idiot. Instead, I feel as though I just haven't learned the right response yet. Overall, an incredible environment for all levels of jiu jitsu practitioners. No matter your age, fitness level, or skills you will be welcomed to the team and encouraged every day. Over the last couple months we've had personal issues unrelated to Jiu Jitsu that have caused me to pause my training. When I've come back sporadically as I've had time I'm not made to feel bad but encouraged in my journey.
