Do not recommend!! It’s sad because there are some great people you could find here but it’s just not worth it. The coach definitely puts on a fake nice front and makes it seem like he’s a nice guy but he’s definitely far from that. He allows men at the gym to prey on and take advantage of the women at the gym. He is well aware and allows the men to use the gym as a place to sleep with the women. The training is definitely very basic and the coach doesn’t do much teaching other than the cardio class. You will be getting your training from whoever you partner up with and most of them are learning or are very amateur fighters who have no clue what they are doing. Good luck learning proper technique. You can definitely find better training at Michigan top team, mash, victorious mma or Scorpion fighting system. As you look down and see great reviews you should know that those are all from the coaches long time friends and not the people that are new and especially not from the women who have experienced ridiculous treatment here and have left.
Top notch spot. The owner is a class act. If your looking for a good spot this is it.
This isnt just an MMA gym, its a congregation of quality, fitness focused individuals who connect through mma. The coach/owner is top knotch, the instructors are patient and highly talented, and the other clients are welcoming and kind. Users of all levels are accepted here; men, women, and under 18, and all fitness levels can find something for them. The cardio classes are no joke, so be prepared to work your butt off. I was hesitant the first few times, but now my only thoughts when I leave are: Holy smokes, Im so tired, and I cant wait to go back.Also, in regards to the 1-star post that said they couldnt find it; just drive straight to the back of the complex. Its clearly marked.
Best gym in the area for sure if youre trying to get hard work in for a fight or just get in shape and protect yourself this is the place for you bunch of good people keeping good vibes stop in and check it out.
Awesome Gym, family atmosphere, full of hard working, fighters, and dedicated head coaching, and coaching staff! ANYONE willing to better themselves, physically, mentally, or even take your mma career further or to the next level.... This is the place to go! You Definitely wont leave this gym A DAY not learning something new. No matter the level you are at!
Great group, extremely helpful, lots of experience
Owner is a solid/awesome guy💯Instruction is Top notch . no matter if you are training to fight or just training to get in shape you should for sure join if you’ve been thinking about it👍🏽
Great environment to learn and get a great sweat in. Amateur to experience levels, coach James welcomes new people with open arms.
Great gym to train whether youre a beginner or a pro MMA fighter. James is the best striking coach Ive worked with. Very friendly people go there. All who attend very accepting of everyone.
Great Place. Coach James and the team is amazing. If youre into fitness, this is the place to be.
Good luck finding the place i drove everywhere but my gps still couldnt find it. At least put a sign or banner up near the road, since you claim its the best mma gym in the country.
Signing up to Stars and Strikes was one of the best decisions that I have ever made in my life. This gym is pure quality, and youre going to learn a lot (even while youre working out). You will receive top notch instruction in all forms of martial arts. Youll also learn from the top amateur (and pro) fighters in Michigan. Most gyms treat you like a number, not Stars and Strikes. This gym will treat you like family the very first time that you walk into the door. Do yourself a favor: Step out of your comfort zone, and see what Stars and Strikes is all about.
I trained at this facility a few years ago before disease made it impossible. The facility was always clean and well lit. The staff was competent, thorough and highly professional.The training was top notch, both in regards of improving fitness and technical skill. I enjoyed my time there more than I can express.If you want a fun, wholesome place to get fit, this is your gym to go to. If you want to feel very confident in defending yourself, this is your gym to go to. If you like punching people, this is your gym to go to.If you are looking to pursue a competitive career in mixed martial arts, these guys also have a pretty stellar track record.
The coach is great, very knowledgeable and fun to work with. Gym members here are very welcoming. A great place for everyone from pro fighters to women who just want a solid cardio session.
Truly great gyms are few and far between, this is one of them. Having been around as long as Stars and Strikes MMA has been speaks volumes, many gyms have come and gone but because of a great atmosphere and more importantly truly great coaching, this gym has continued on and is only getting better and better. Several Pro athletes and Amateur athletes call here home, Im proud to say that I do too. When I started with the head trainer James I was coming off of college soccer season, heavy from too much junk food and fast food, he whipped me into shape and I can even say that the one time that I have had to protect myself out in the world, I was able to with great success. James and Stars and Strikes have truly shaped my life for the better and I dont believe I would be where I am without him and all the wonderful people that I get to workout with on a daily basis, and call my family.
Stars and Strikes is an amazing place to train. The value that you get for your membership fee cannot be beat in this area, as you get training in multiple areas of mixed martial arts. The best part is the team environment, if you train here, you are a considered a member of the team. And unlike other gyms that make their profits by a lot of their members rarely showing up, James actually cares that you are getting the most of your membership. I know from experience that if I havent been in the gym for a little while (due to life getting in the way), I have gotten messages from James encouraging me to come back in. Stars and Strikes is a great place to train and personally has helped me greatly with my own fitness and weight loss goals.
Only been to the gym once. Felt welcome and comfortable immediately. Not only is the staff great, but the people working out there were very cool. I had an absolute blast.
This is a really good MMA gym with an excellent head instructor. Coach James “Striker” Beneteau. Coach James treats everyone equal, and fair. Coach James only allows people that have competed on some sort of level kickboxing, grappling events, or MMA to assist his classes to ensure that you get Great intrsruction, and learn great techniques from someone that’s Ben in some sort of live physical situation. Everyone trains together. whether your goal is to compete, self defense, or just simply get in shape everyone trains together.
Been training here for a while, it’s a great gym with great people that always make sure you improve
I love kickboxing. Great exercise
The people are awesome. And they train you like no other.
I am a purple belt in jiu jitsu and started coming here on Sundays for open mat.The people here are top notch and totally cool. I notice my skill level excelling after every training session. Thanks guys.
Stars and Strikes MMA saved my life. MMA, Jiu-Jitsu, Self-Defense, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Judo - its all here. Three years ago, I walked in the door pushing 370 lbs. Dangerously out of shape, dealing with high-cholesterol, high-blood-pressure - I was a complete mess. These guys took me in like family. No egos, no judgment. Because of Stars and Strikes MMA, my love of Jiu-Jitsu and the things Ive learned about eating and living clean, Im down to 300 lbs. Ive got another 50 lbs to lose and Im grateful to have Stars and Strikes MMA to help me get it done.If Lifetime or Planet Fitness just dont seem to be getting you where you want to go, you owe it to yourself to use the free trial and check out Stars and Strikes MMA. Maybe youve thought, It would be so cool to punch and kick stuff while I get in shape!You walk in the door and there are all different kinds of people; professional fighters, amateur fighters and just regular people. Men, women, old, young. Its amazing how the owner James Striker Beneteau has managed to create a no-frills, no bulls*#t environment where all kinds of people can come in and train. I owe James and everyone at Stars and Strikes MMA more than I could ever repay. Come in and try it!
Great Kick Boxing MMA gym. Friendly coaches.
An excellent place to train with great people!
