York Mixed Martial Arts Academy

I’ve been attending class at York MMA for almost a year now and enjoy every minute of it. At first I was a little nervous about my skill level in comparison to others and wondering if I was going to be able to do this at all but it was nothing to be concerned about. If you are new to the sport with no experience or very little they will ease you into it and work at your comfort level. This is a great workout for all genders and ages.

Great MMA school, great Coaches and respectful students. I'm very grateful to have such an amazing school to train at.

I've been training at York MMA on and off for well over a decade and I can say without a doubt if you live in or around that area and want the very best Mixed Martial Arts training, this is the place to seek out. Classes are safe, well supervised, very beginner friendly and highly productive. Oh and let's not leave out fun, you work hard and break a sweat for sure but you also have a lot of fun doing it. Coach George is both knowledgeable and patient with all his students. He's super encouraging with beginners but at the same time doesn't baby anyone and pushes people to be the best they can be in order to achieve their goals. I could go on and on about York MMA, that's how GOOD this place is. If you're thinking about doing MMA or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, either for yourself or for your child, check them out. You'll be glad you did trust me.

Coach George is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and does great in revealing individual potential especially during his private lessons. He's very skilled at seeing where you lack and explaining important details to make you better. The level of detail you learn with each technique here really sets this place above most others. If you live in york or the surrounding areas I highly recommend trying this place out.

My time so far with YMMAA has genuinely been a wonderful and fulfilling experience, and one that I hope to continue for a long time. With its expert instructors, supportive community, and comprehensive training approach, it has not only enhanced my physical capabilities but also significantly boosted my mental resilience. To start, the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and are able to explain techniques in an easily comprehensible way. They’re personable and can cater to an individuals needs in this regard. Even when you have a hard time with a particular technique, the coaches continue to give you tips and try to help as much as they can with no judgement. This school has also garnered a beautiful community to support you and your journey. Everyone in the school wants to see you winning, whether that's in your personal goals or in a competition if you choose to do that. Particularly for me, as a woman, it is invaluable to find a martial arts school that is so supportive and welcoming. If you’re thinking about trying it out, just come on in and see what you think! I can guarantee you’ll find everything I say to be true :)
