Great place to train! Nader has always been extremely welcoming. If you want to learn from the best in the area and push your pace - this is the place to go in Columbia!

What an incredible community! The mats are spacious and impeccably clean. I had an excellent class with Coach Nader, who took the time to ensure I learned the techniques properly and thoroughly. After class, I rolled with well-trained students who were both skilled and mindful, matching my pace and prioritizing safety to prevent injuries. I traveled to Columbia for business, looking for a quick workout over two days, but what I found was a den of wolves—a place where skill, discipline, respect and support thrives. Highly recommend this gym to anyone serious about martial arts, or hobbyists like me.

Been training here a few months I’ve been training for 4 years and traveling while training for this past year I just wanted a place to train while I was in town and I feel very grateful to have found Lycan. I’ve met like a dozen pros since I’ve been here! There is a ton of mat space, many class options to fit my schedule, great coaching and the best thing I might have to say is the camaraderie and friendships that have developed. The team is a TEAM, if I don’t show up for too long, someone is always checking in on me. And I’ve had a few time I’ve needed a ride to class and tournaments and before I can ask, it’s offerer. Upper belts are always dropping advice and techniques. And a few guys do private lessons. Thanks so much guys for treating me so well🙏🏽

Lycan Mixed Martial Arts has been a game-changer for my son—even in a short time, we’ve seen incredible growth. His confidence, focus, and discipline have all improved. The atmosphere is full of positive energy, and every class pushes him to be better. Coach Nader is truly inspiring—firm, wise, and deeply committed to his students. His approach blends discipline with motivation, helping kids grow not just in Jiu-Jitsu, but in life. You can tell he leads with purpose and heart. We’re so proud to be part of the Lycan family and highly recommend it to anyone looking for real growth and guidance.
