The front desk workers were nice, but the coaches were all very rude, and class was absurdly confusing. The coach would quietly say the combo we were throwing, while background music and peoples chatter drowned out most of what he was saying.The instructors were super cocky and you could tell they thought they were a lot better than they really were.

Love this place! Great place to train- the instructors are amazing, awesome community !

Great place to learn MMA/BJJ for self defense, competition, or to lose weight. Coach BT is amazing. He is super knowledgeable, really friendly, and professional. Coach Nicole is doing a fabulous job with the girls. This is a welcoming place for beginners and professionals alike.

I’m 36, overweight, and out of shape. Got bored with traditional exercise and have heard wonders about the sport of jiu jitsu. I started training roughly five weeks ago and I love it! Still overweight, but my conditioning and technique are improving every class. Love this and I think you will too. Thanks to the Nashville MMA team for your patience and expertise. Excited to be a part of the team.

Loved being part of this gym while I had the time! Sad that I had to take a break, but will definitely be returning in the future! Special thanks to Irvin Jones. His Muay Thai classes are great

I have been taking two of my kids here for just over a month. They have felt welcome from the time they stepped into the doors. The coaches are great and have given the kids a workout and taught them technique. They know how to handle the kids. Both of mine are excited every week to go back. Also in addition to the coaches the staff is very helpful and answer any questions that we had.

My son loves his kids boxing class with Ann thanks for having this class for them

I’ve always been interested in doing kickboxing and have searched everywhere for a place to practice it at, I can finally say that I have found a gym to do it at! This place has excellent coaches and is well worth my hour drive. I always look forward to class! Make sure to check out coach Tra’vell’s cardio kickboxing on Friday’s, you’ll definitely get a great workout in before the weekends! Or if not, there are plenty of other kickboxing classes to take advantage of during the week at anytime of the day.

The trainers are awesome! They are nice and knowledgeable. They know how to motivate you without being aggressive. The classes are great! They change up the moves to keep it interesting and can accommodate any level of fitness. After doing ClassPass for awhile, this is by far my favorite gym!

Amazing bjj classes. The coach is top notch! Great people to roll with too. Staff is always helpful and friendly

I am brand new to MMA and Coach Irvin and Coach Tra’vell have been exactly what I hoped it would be. This place is an ego free place and honestly I look forward to training with these guys.

I love this Gym. The H.I.T. classes and Iron Pile classes are excellent and always leave me drenched in sweat and satisfied. Tim is the best coach and always takes time to make sure you are maximizing your output. I highly recommend this gym for any level of fitness.

My son has been in martial arts since he was 6, he is now 15. We have been all over map to train. This is hands down one of the best gyms we have been in!!! Very knowledgeable coaching staff with a proven track record. If you are looking for a gym, this is the place to be!!!

Been going here for about 3 weeks after taking a year off of training for personal reasons. Staff is friendly and coaching is the best i’ve had since i started! Highly recommend!

Im from out of town and dropped in for a quick morning class. The class was well taught with personal instruction while drilling. Everyone was super friendly and fun to roll with.

Started BJJ here a couple months ago. Cam has been an awesome instructor and is happy to demo the move we’re drilling for anyone who needs to see it again. Great crew, great facility. Couldn’t recommend a better gym!

Coach Irvin Jones is a great Muay Thai instructor. Hes able to teach at all levels, and is dedicated to your goals. If you put in the work, he puts in the work.

Im kind of bias on this review of Nashville MMA, because Ive been part of this school since the opening back in 2001. Hell, I was just a blue belt looking to get in the UFC when Ed Clay brought BJJ black belt Luiz Palhares from Brazil to teach at Nashville MMA. Ed wanted to start a dominant school in Middle Tennessee and the South East. He wanted the best ground school making his fighters wait two years to achieve their first belt in BJJ to be able to fight for him. Because of that all Nashville MMA fighters would go undefeated when fighting at particular MMA fight shows. Word got around about our school and propelled Nashville MMA to be what it is today. The formula has not changed only that Shawn Hammonds BJJ Association relays what Luiz did back then. Always given Nashville MMA an edge in the fight game which always made champions in the ring, cage and or on the mats. So, that is why I would be bias on this review lol.... Come train with us!!

Signed up for a monthly subscription and was told I could cancel anytime. When I went to cancel my subscription, they told me I would have to pay an additional month which made no sense. Then I e-mailed them back multiple times and they didnt respond and charged my card for the additional month. Sleezy

NMMA is the one of the best MMA/BJJ gyms in the state. BT and Cameron are both great instructors. I highly recommend checking NMMA out!

I went to Nashville for a little vacation and wanted to train. I hit up Nashville mma and they welcomed me with open arms. I had an awesome class with coach Koala who was such a great instructor. If i am ever in the area I will always come back there. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to learn martial arts

Was recommended by fighters that I know and finally took the plunge on to the mat.This place is a safe haven from the rest of the world, the staff is humble and real, the facility is topnotch and well taken care of, and I recommended the Muay Thai class with Itai Tarido for he is patient works well with helping you with proper technique and his class is rad nuff saidAlso they have a Great BBJ and Boxing circuit as well.This is the gym 💪 rather its to learn or lose a few pounds.....Nashville MMA reigns Supreme alsoGreat work for those are competitive and need sparring on SundaysBut call to set up due to Covid

Nashville MMA is an amazing gym for not just fighters but anyone looking to get into great shape. They offer striking and grappling classes for all levels, ran by extremely knowledgeable coaches and professional fighters. Coach Itai Tirado, a very skilled striker and former fighter with tons of experience, does an outstanding job of demonstrating and explaining techniques. Nashville MMA is the best gym in the area, hands down!

Have been going to Nashville MMA for 6 months now. Great place to train, Cameron teaches a great fundamentals class and Zack, Irvin and Dom have been great striking coaches. Fridays wrestling class with Jimbo and Tom is not to be missed.

Excellent gym. Cameron Brocklehurst is an outstanding coach. He teaches BJJ that is useful for self-defense and also appeals to competitive sport practitioners. I highly recommend his classes.

Irvin Jones and Dominic Martin are both incredible coaches. They will get you in shape, teach you valuable skills, and help you become an all around better person one class at a time. 10/10And your first class is free so you have no excuse not to come other than pure laziness.

I have been to Nashville MMA for almost a year now and it has been amazing training. I wanted to learn how to defend myself in case of an altercation or in case I Had to protect someone and After a year I have much more confidence in my ability to do so. Of course, Further mastery takes a lot more time. It is really fun, interactive training. Coaches know their stuff for sure and communicate well. I think it’s a tremendous value for what you get!!

Visited here while in Nashville! I did a 1 on 1 session with coach Itai and it was amazing. It was everything I was looking for. He broke down techniques for me and made them very easy to understand and follow. The entire staff was very welcoming and the facility was top notch. I will definitely be back!!!

Nashville MMA is it man! If you are looking for a place to to train hard, learn and be in a friendly environment this is your place!i would specially recommend coach Itai’s Muay Thai classes! Definitely worth it!!

Just finished my first class here! Came in for a BJJ fundamentals free trial...Some how I needed up doing the Muay Thai fundamentals instead and got my butt kicked 😞 but I loved every minute of it! My instructor was nice but stern (meaning if you slacking or being lazy he’s going to notice and call you out) lol I’m sore all over but I can’t wait to go back. Still going to do the BJJ class but Muay Thai has definitely found a place in my heart. Can’t wait to try out the rest of the classes.

Just had my second class here with Irvin. He was very clear with his instructions and helped me as a beginner understand the fundamentals of what he was teaching. It was clear that he really wanted me to get it. Very patient yet pushed me just enough to feel like I learned a lotand got a good workout.!

Coach Itai is very knowledgeable and a great coach. Great for all experience levels from beginners just wanting to learn self defense to professional fighters. Enjoy all of his classes and have done a year of one on ones with him with progress I’m proud of. Def give this gym a try, great staff and lots of talent with everyone being humble and eager to teach.

Irvin Jones is a great instructor. His teaching style made it comfortable as a beginner to quickly improve. His focus on learning the proper form and techniques While still having fun was very encouraging. I’ll be back!

Hello everyone this is Deep South MMA. Were a new gym in Springfield, TN. Just wanted to give a shout out to Nashville MMA. I appreciate all of the amazing training I have recieved there from some of the best coaches in the world. It truly is an outstanding MMA academy!!

I’ve been working with Itai Tirado one on one for some months now. I absolutely love the way he teaches and his personality! I will definitely continue to work with him!

The reason I love Nashville MMA/Training Camp so much because they have an awesome legit martial artists coaching staff with years of experience there, and an awesome MMA coach Itai “Hurricane” Tirado. Come join us and he will train you right.🥊🥋🤼‍♂️🦾

Staff and coaches were very friendly to me! Got a good work out in every time I went. Not to mention when there was an issue on my account, they got back to me no problem and issued a full refund!

I have been training in Itai Tirados classes for the past couple months now. Great guy and great instructor! I have trained with several different gyms across the U.S., and he is very knowledgeable and experienced. I look forward to his class every week, and learning more from him to further my MMA skills!

Been training at Nashville MMA over a year now and still loving it! I’ve learned a lot from Coach Itai and Coach Irv so far and I always look forward to their classes in the morning.

Taking Muy Thai with coach Irvin Jones has been great! He is smart, skilled, and always willing to help. With little experience coming in, he was understandable and always patient. Cant wait to grow in this sport!

If you’ve been looking for the best gym to learn and push your MMA, look no further. The team at NMMA is extremely professional, supportive, and talented. You absolutely must stop in and ask for one on one instruction with Itai. He’s thorough, intelligent, and very motivating.

Been going for a few months now, the trainers are great, the environments great, everybody pushes each other. Been working a lot with Austin, great trainer 10/10

I’ve been training muay thai at Nashville MMA for about 6 months now and this place already feels like home. Coach ITai and Coach Irv are both great. They offer classes for all levels that are not only extremely informative, but also super fun and a great workout. You’ll leave every class feeling accomplished and extremely exhausted. I do 3-4 classes a week and have lost almost 40lb since I started.If you are serious about learning proper technique, I’d recommend doing private lessons with either ITai or Irv. It has definitely helped me progress much faster.

First timer into the world of MMA but really enjoyed the gym and the workout. Instructor, Irving Jones, is very detail oriented and will push you to your limits. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

I had to relocate from Florida and I was needing a new place to train. Nashville MMA checked every box. They offer multiple classes for BJJ, Muay Thai, Wrestling etc. I also really loved that they offer a top of the line weight room for strength and conditioning. The staff has been really great, especially during Covid. They are constantly cleaning and sanitizing. Best place to train in Nashville, hands down.

Ive been to Nashville MMA for more than year and it has been amazing.coach Itai tirado is a great teacher, he will push you past your limit and always willing to help if there is something you arent understanding, he gives great advice on technique and pushes his students to be their best.this gym is awesome!!the training is exelent,very clean facility, wonderful equipment, classes for anyone and for any level.highly recommended!!

I highly recommend taking classes with the head Jiu-Jitsu coach BT. He has a way of breaking down moves so you feel comfortable executing them. He has a plethora of knowledge and teaches you to love Jiu-Jitsu. He is dedicated to helping people learn the skills they need to protect themselves.

This gym is awesome! The coaches are professional and knowledgeable. The training is Excellent the facilities are Great they are kept in good condition and very clean. If you have any questions the staff is always available and helpful. Most of the people at the gym are excepting helpful and work hard to improve themselves and the people around them.

Great place and location. Coach Ittai really helped to improve my skills in muay thai!!

Nashville MMA is a state of the art facility for not only MMA but fitness classes as well. The coaches are very professional and knowledgeable. itai tirado is does a great job teaching the muay thai classes and the MMA coaches irvin jones and dom martin are pro fighters who do a great job at teaching. all around great gym.

Been a member for over 4 years and have been able to train with a ton of talented individuals and learn from a range of coaches from Muay Thai and stand up with Lance Patrick and Itai Tirado to Brazillian Jiu Jitsu with BT and Nichole Stoller.The facility is the nicest of any martial arts gym in the state. The members range from people checking out their first martial arts class to veteran professional fighters. The entire gambit could not be any more welcoming.Cant recommend enough!

I just started attending this gym and havent had experience with martial arts in the past. My Muay Thai coach, Irvin Jones, knows his stuff and takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, but isnt afraid to stretch your comfort zone to make sure you are improving. I look forward to learning from everyone here.

All the coaches do great work, from irvin Jones, Zack Hicks, Bryan Tidwell, Tim semech and more!

On my first day, Joey was very kind to show us some great fundamentals. It was challenging, fun, and now I’m happily joining the Nashville MMA community. Thank you!

Irvin Jones is the greatest coach I’ve ever had! He is so reliable and will go to great lengths to give you what you need.

Itai is a great instructor! Muay thai was awesome! Well done brother.

Had a great experience at my Muy Thai introductory class... instructor was Irving and he’s very clear when demonstrating and teaching you new things... great guy I WILL BE BACK

Great gym lots of high level athletes and coaches, great place to run a camp for a fight. Coach lance and coach itai are extremely knowledgeable and excellent coaches. I feel very confident with them in my corner.

Irvin Jones and Dominic Martin are both outstanding coaches. They push you and genuinely care if you progress and get better!

Coach Irvin Jones was absolutely incredible! He has a real passion for teaching Muay Thai and I cant wait to spend more sessions with him bettering my discipline and technique. Also he will go as slow as you need to understand the technique which makes it obvious that he has a true passion for the Art and teaching. I cant recommend highly enough!

Myself and a friend of mine have been going to Nashville MMA since the end of August 2020. Great training and Coaches Irvin Jones, Nicholle, BT, and Javier are all awesome!

If youre looking for a quality gym, or trainers, Ive never found better. Its the first place Ive come to where IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT SHAPE YOURE IN! You could be obese, injured, or even borderline handicapped. Theyll make sure youre moving forward. And if youre in great shape, theres somebody here every day that can find a way to improve you.I came to this gym after recovering from Necrotizing Fasciitis, it put me in a wheelchair for a year and my body hasnt been the same since. I had nearly given up the possibility of ever being athletic again. But eTai & Irvin Jones have given me more progress in 2 months than a year of physical therapy did for me, and they give me a new goal to strive for every day. You wont find a better spot anywhere in Nashville.

This place is truly a joke, especially ownership and management. NMMA has turned into an overpriced cardio program now.

I was so impressed by the facility and instructors that after 1 session, I signed up! Nashville MMA has a reputable reputation for providing quality services and I’m thrilled to be a part of the team.

Best grappling and striking in Nashville. All around great staff

Taught me everything I know about fighting today, got all the way up to a first degree black belt. I miss it. Good times.

I pedaled my bike all the way from Ohio just to train here. Lol lncredible place. great coaches! Super friendly to a stranger just dropping in for a night and their Muay Thai coach Thai was amazing! its nice that they had showers available too. I didnt have to pedal back to the planet fitness to wash the sweat off.

Irv jones very understanding, patient one of the best teachers I’ve had please visit you will enjoy its an experience like no other

Irvin Jones 9AM fundamental classes are excellent. I have the coordination of a heavily intoxicated toddler and he breaks the movements and concepts down in a way even I can understand. Highly recommend

This gym is absolute best! The staff is amazing and they work so hard to make sure you learn. I recommend 10/10!

This is the premier MMA facility in the SE!! Great instructors with decades of expertise in every facet of the game! The kids program is incredible. I call it home

Having moved a lot these last years for work purposes I’ve visited and enrolled in many martial arts gyms and I can say with out doubt that Nashville MMA is among the best for Jujitsu, Mauy Thai and self defense. In combining the arts, the MMA training at Nashville MMA is unmatched anywhere! My experience at Nashville MMA has been excellent!

Wonderful staff that is willing to help and accomodate. Great coaches who are professional fighters themselves or have coached top tier athletes. Very clean facility wonderful equipment. Classes for anyone regardless of age, shape, experience. Definitely a one stop shop!

I just finished my second class with instructor Irvin Jones and I can definitely say this should be everyone’s mma gym of choice. The classes are both educational and a great workout. The gym is nice and the staff is great. If your looking to learn Muay Thai or BJJ this is the place to do it.

Best place in town. Skilled instructors, kind staff, welcoming environment, great workout, affordable membership. Quality instruction and, as a woman, i like how the instructors dont go easy on you. What more could you want??? After trying it once, I signed up immediateley and would recommend this place to all of my friends

Good place to train, love the culture, love the instruction.

Coach Irvin Jones allows his students to thrive through his stellar coaching. His gives great advice on technique and pushes his students to be their best.

If you want to learn boxing, Thai boxing, kickboxing, MMA, or just want to get in shape, Nashville MMA is the best gym around the Nashville area. I suggest taking a class with Coach Itai or a 1 on 1 with him. He has vast knowledge of martial arts and will teach you how to use all of your weapons affectivelty all while having fun doing it. Please check them out you won’t be disappointed.

This place is top notch instructors and coaches. When you walk into the door to see people with smiling faces. When you take a class you have professionalism and amazing workout.

Great location, awesome staff, great instructors. My kids have thoroughly enjoyed coach Andrew as well. Top notch, best training in Nashville

Nashville MMA is like a second home! So many awesome people and that have each others backs 💗 having higher ranked belts and amazing teachers, we learn a lot even in bigger classes. 10/10 highly reccomend. Plus we have some of the highest ranked fighters on the state!

Love this gym! Muay Thai with Itai Tirado is the best!!

Great workout, Irvin Jones really handed it to me. Ended up leaving with a membership

I hired a trainer and to him upfront that I wanted him to train me at the highest level. I then ask him to spar me and he used his anger (issues maybe?) to overly try to harm me. His name is Irvin Jones and I would not reccomend his services to anyone. I am also a celebrity trainer @forrestbrevity. So I really am of sound mind with this decision.

Great instructors, competitive training partners, and a large clean facility. Showers at the facility are a huge bonus. They even include towels!

Hands down the best mixed martial arts facility in Tennessee. You learn something everyday, and the classes switch up coaches throughout the week. High quality coaches, gym equipment, and always a positive environment. Come in for a free class to check it out yourself.

Nashville MMA is loaded with talent and absent of egos. Huge family feel, elite instructors and an environment that promotes learning and development. Push yourself with some of the best in the sport!

Best coaches in Tennessee. Competitive environment. They are family who care about your growth.

This gym has become like a family to me. Top notch coaches, supportive training partners, friendly staff, and an immaculate new facility. I’m so happy to be part of this amazing MMA family.

I love going to the gym and learning more about ju jitsu and boxing! The coaches are great! I always have fun learning and meeting new people. I’ve learned so much over years training there and feel very confident.

Great gym to train at, very friendly staff.

My son and I both have learned so much from the classes its amazing. Best people I know and a true family type feel. I would recommend Nashville MMA to any and everyone!

Coach irvin jones is dope, travell has the clinchesCoach itai gives me alot of homework.I enjoy the classes and find it funny how everybody has a nickname

Large, clean facility. Awesome coaches. Training partners of all sizes and skill levels. Classes all throughout the day. Nashville MMA is the spot!

Many recommendations brought me to this school and they’ve definitely lived up to the expectation. Great Jiu Jitsu class taught by Bryan Tidwell as well as a great Muay Thai class taught by Irvin Jones!

The new location is wonderful. Lots of space, clean, and comfortable.The team members and management allow for truly nice experience.You should come.

Ive been going for a month now taking Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai fundamental classes and it has been a wonderful experience! Javier is an awesome jiu jitsu instructor and Irvin Jones has been great as a Muay Thai instructor (side note: make sure you do your leg raises! He will notice if you dont). All the other coaches are great too and are all clear on what they want you to do and are willing to help if there is something you arent understanding. The gym has a great environment and it genuinely looks like everyone loves to learn and work out there. Definitely recommend!

I liked their focus on training and learning the fundamentals first. Gotta crawl before you walk.

Ive been training off and on with these folks for about a decade. World class competitors, expert grapplers, and professional strikers. Give em a look.

Amazing facility and hands down some of the best coaches/instructors in the game. Whether you’re brand new or coming from more experience, you will be in great hands.
