Reynolds F. says, "I started training with Tony because I wanted to get back in shape and feel strong again. He’s been awesome to work with—I feel way more confident in the gym now and actually know what I’m doing. Tony’s training style is super personalized. He really listens, adjusts things to fit my goals, and makes sure I’m progressing in a way that works for me. I’ve especially loved working on barbell lifts, like the overhead press, and seeing my strength improve. Since training with him, I’ve been way more consistent in the gym (four times a week!), and I’m paying more attention to my diet. I’ve had some setbacks, like minor injuries and just struggling to find time, but Tony always helps me work around them and stay on track. Now, I feel stronger, more confident, my clothes fit better, and even my sleep has improved. I’d definitely recommend training with Tony—he’s super knowledgeable, easy to work with, and makes the whole experience really comfortable and motivating." Read more

Elizabeth N. says, "I have been studying classical guitar with Amine for a short while and he has already corrected a problem I had holding tension in my left hand. He spots and gently corrects bad habits or incorrect positioning with a thorough and succinct explanation for the correction. Instead of telling me what to play when I make a mistake, he asks questions to guide my thought process so I can work independently. As a music teacher myself of nearly 33 years, I feel very fortunate that Amine is my teacher. He is one of those rare people that makes you feel at ease while learning something new, as if I have known him my whole life. I look forward to many more lessons with Amine as I develop my skills and musicianship on guitar. " Read more

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?

I started training with Tony to learn strength training, and now I feel totally confident in the gym. His coaching is consistent, personalized, and always pushes me to do more than I thought I could. I’ve loved getting stronger, especially with barbell squats, and seeing real progress. Now, I look forward to workouts instead of dreading them and am more mindful of my nutrition. Tony also helped me navigate busy gym crowds with structured plans, making training way less stressful. I’ve gained strength, confidence, and even reduced knee pain. I highly recommend him—his guidance has made all the difference!

Tony is both personable and professional, which makes him a great teacher. I hired him to train me and my two teenage daughters on self defense combined with fitness. Each lesson has been full of technique, knowledge, and great exercise. These classes have actually been fun for my family while the same time we’re burning calories and learning to protect ourselves. Expectations have been beyond exceeded and we look forward to each class🥊.

Amine Belkhouche has been training martial arts with my father and I since he was a child, and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was always physically talented, but more importantly he has a wonderful disposition, and great attitude while training in a class as well as teaching his knowledge to others. More recently Amine, has become an instructor of Karate for the New Orleans Shotokan Academy, in which he teaches six kids classes per week. He is very innovative, and is able to bridge the knowledge of martial arts together with fun and exciting activities, in order to make training more interactive and fun. The skills he has acquired from his years as a professional soccer player, his passion for music, and his martial arts training, complement his training in GMB, in which he focuses on correct body movements that translate into any physical activity.

Initially, I was drawn to the friendly setting which was especially appealing to someone who had never had martial arts training. This makes Precision Krav Maga a great place to learn and train whether you are out for "just" conditioning, a new skill set for self-protection, or are a seasoned warrior in need of keeping skills sharp. However, now that I am comfortable, I find the patient but methodical instruction is what makes Precision outstanding for me.
