Monica M. says, "I like that the instructor is very friendly and always ready to help. He takes the time to explain every step as well as correct us individually as we do it ourselves. We do drills and real life scenarios. Sometimes we meet at Crunch fitness to practice with more intensity. It is very helpful so we can practice what we learn without hurting our partners and get more of a workout. Definitely recommend!" Read more

I work from a home dojo with private lessons during COVID-19. I am a 35-year Judo black belt who also does BJJ. Unfortunately, I'm not able to work with everybody. Your first 1-hour lesson is free and I take on the folk that appear to be a good match for what I do. Giving folk the opportunity to still train in small pods when larger clubs are simply out of the question during the pandemic.

I’ve been training in martial arts since I was nine years old and will be 61 this December. Over the years I’ve studied Taekwondo, USA Goju Ryu, Kendo, Kumdo, Boxing, and Kali, and I bring all that experience into my teaching. Students say they enjoy working with me because I’m patient, passionate, and focused on helping each person improve at their own pace while building real confidence and skill.

Training with me is simple and personal — I focus on making Kali and martial arts practical, effective, and enjoyable. I’ve been studying martial arts since I was nine years old, starting with Tae Kwon Do and later training in USA Goju, Kickboxing, Kendo, Kumdo, and Jujutsu before beginning FCS Kali in 2018. What I enjoy most is helping people grow through Kali — building confidence, learning real self-defense, and discovering the art itself. I do a great job because I connect with my students, meet you where you are, and make sure you leave each class with skills you can use in and out of training.

Your Martial Arts Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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?
