Mma University

In the short span of nine months I changed both my jobs, lost a bit of weight, become more social, and gained confidence. Call it what you will but this place changed my life!

I now have a place to go, a place I feel like I belong, a family who welcomes me with open arms whenever I get onto the mats. Everytime I finish a class I feel like I have nothing to fear!

Thanks mma university and a special thanks to all the staff and instructors.

Great place to train and learn. Friendly team-like environment once you show your dedication and start getting to know everyone. First class is free which is a great opportunity I've used to invite friends/family to come try martial arts out and get a feel for how it can help them.

When I first stepped foot through the doors of MMA U five years ago, I was completely new to the world of mixed martial arts. I wanted to get in better shape and I figured why not learn some self-defence skills in the process. I remember my first Jiu-Jitsu class and how awkward I felt trying to “shrimp” across the mats. I remember getting submitted again and again by pretty much everyone I rolled with. I was amazed at how easily my best efforts were repeatedly countered and at the seemingly endless number of ways I could be forced to tap. I knew I had to learn this magical power that allowed guys and girls half my size to exert such complete physical control over me. Besides having my mind blown by the awesome powers of jiu- jitsu, I was also blown away by how nice people were. Every person I rolled with introduced themselves with a smile and the customary hand slap/fist bump combo, and after wiping the mats with me, I’d be congratulated for a good roll with same slap/fist bump. I realised over the years of training at MMA U that this feeling of camaraderie and friendship is something that comes from the top down. Owner and black belt Professor Tim Blanchard, along with the other awesome coaches, have always done an amazing job of creating a team environment where students trust, help and encourage one another. When you are a member at MMA U you are truly part of a family, but don’t let this family vibe fool you, we get down to some serious business here. If you’re just starting out, there are people who will teach you, and if you’re a seasoned player looking for a new place to train, there are people who can push you to the next level. Professor Tim has done an excellent job of creating a world class training facility that attracts elite athletes who in turn can become your training partners. The equipment is new and well maintained with plenty of heavy bags, a huge mat space, free weights, a full sized octagon and an area for cross fit. From Muay Thai to BJJ to Wrestling to Cross Fit, MMA University is a great place to start your training or progress to your next level. They also have a great kids' program that I wish my parents had put me in when I was a kid. For the skill and level of commitment and passion displayed by the coaches as well as the excellent facilities I highly recommend coming and giving MMA U a try.

Great gym to learn and improve your BJJ, kickboxing (muay thai) and Wrestling. Or, just to get a workout in. I've trained here for over a year - and I've made some great friends, the staff is kind and friendly and, the instructors are top notch and will always encourage and motivate you.

Awesome place to train. Great people. Friendly and knowledgeable coaches. Amazing programs and variety. Excellent for adults and kids.
