Carl W. says, "I asked to get in the best condition of my life and learn to box, 10 months in I'm a differnt man in greater condition and boxing skills I thought I'd never have. I get told by other boxing trainers Tony is the best and is their trainer also. No coincidence Daniel Cormier has him in his camp. I'm almost 50 years old with better function then when I was in my 20's. You get what you put in and if you wanna be pushed to your extremities Tony will do so if you ask him to. Tony is a good person with a great heart that is very good with people as a trainer, he understand we are all differnt and must be handled differently as clients. No cookie cutter stuff with him.

Boxing and fitness has been instilled in me since a young age and i enjoy the confidence and disaplyn it brings. At the end of the day you are who you think of yourself to be....

Your Martial Arts Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

What is mixed martial arts (MMA)?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat spot that incorporates striking, footwork, and grappling techniques from boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. Many MMA fighters also blend techniques from judo, karate, kung fu, kickboxing, and other martial arts.

Mixed martial arts competitions take place in an octagon-shaped ring, sometimes called a "cage", with fighters competing against others in their weight class. Fighters are free to punch, kick, knee, elbow, slam, and grapple their opponents. However, for safety purposes, biting, eye gouging, head butting, and certain other moves are against the rules.

How much do mixed martial arts classes cost?

Mixed martial arts classes cost $100 to $180+ per month on average, depending on the class age range, number of classes per week, combination of martial arts taught, and the coach's expertise and reputation. MMA gyms are typically more expensive if they have well-known coaches who are UFC champions on staff, with some membership fees reaching $300 per month.

Many MMA gyms offer a 1-day drop-in option for $10 to $20 to give you the chance to attend a class and see if the gym is right for you.

Is mixed martial arts good for self-defense?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is ideal for self-defense training because you'll learn a combination of skills and techniques to help you escape dangerous confrontations without injury. MMA's "no holds barred" style is often considered the closest to real-life fighting when compared to other martial arts.

However, MMA does not teach you techniques like knife defense or how to disarm an opponent with a weapon. MMA training is also geared toward dealing with only one attacker at a time.

What does mixed martial arts training help with?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) training incorporates strikes—including punches, knees, and elbows—short and long-range kicks, groundwork, and grappling. You'll also practice controlled and supervised sparring. This training provides a wide range of benefits:

  • Build your confidence
  • Improve your discipline
  • Get fit and increase your endurance
  • Improve your strength, balance, and flexibility
  • Reduce stress and improve your concentration

Where can I learn mixed martial arts near me?

Follow these tips to find the best mixed martial arts gym near you:

  • Research the instructors' competition record and reputation.
  • Read gym and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the gym offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the gym in person to confirm it is clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free one-day pass to take a class and ensure the gym is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before making any payments.

What questions should I ask mixed martial arts gyms?

Before deciding on an MMA gym, be sure to ask these questions:

  • Is the gym beginner friendly?
  • What kind of membership contracts do you offer?
  • Do you offer a free trial class or one-day pass?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • How many students do you have?
  • How many students are in a typical class?
  • What is the instructor's competition record?
  • What kind of uniform or clothing is required?
  • Do your students and instructors compete regularly?
  • How often do you clean your mats?

It was great how passionate and excited the trainers were and their dedication to help you reach your goals. I trained for 3 months and it was totally worth it. I was even able to do some cool outdoor workouts with my trainer just to mix things up and when the weather was nice.

He took the time to meet with me to discuss my goals and listen to the problems I was having with fitness. His workouts are interesting and appropriately challenging. I’m new to boxing but he has made it an amazing experience. He is knowledgeable and flexible with scheduling. So glad I signed up!!

Tony is the real deal!! I’ve been training with him for almost 9 months and he has completely transformed me as a boxer. I learn a new skill or strategy at every session and just when I think I’ve learned everything he takes it up a level and increases my boxing knowledge. Tony has put me in the best shape of my life and continues to push me to make me stronger and faster. If you’re looking to become a boxer or just use boxing to get you in amazing shape, he’s definitely the coach to contact. He’s the best in the business!!!

We enrolled our 7-year old son at Tri-City Aikido in summer 2017. He is a shy and smallest kid in his class, and we thought learning martial art can help to build up his confidence and learn some self-defense skills. We love the way Sensei Anthony teaches the kids class: he puts strong focus in discipline, teaches kids how to protect themselves and he knows how to make the class fun! After a few months' training, our son became more confident and developed situational awareness while learning basic Aikido techniques. Seeing the benefits of martial art on my son, I started training in the adult classes myself the same year. Sensei Anthony is very tentative to beginners like me. I got to train with black-belts and it certainly helped me to understand the Aikido techniques more quickly. Highly recommended dojo for tots, kids, beginners and black-belts who want to learn the essence of martial arts while having fun!
