Love this program one of the best our children have been apart of. Our son has really come into his own. All of the coaches have made such an impact on his life and helping him master his techniques. Thank you!
What makes CMA a great place for kids are the instructors. My 6 yr old has been attending for 1.5 yrs and my 4 yr old for 6 months. The instructors have so much patience, and energy and are so good with the kids. They make this program great. In just 6 months my 4 yr old has improved his listening skills and has increased his ability to focus more. My 6 yr old has come a long way. He is focused, he has gotten stronger, more flexible, learned the correct way to kick and punch and learning takedowns. He is learning how to protect himself. This program teaches children to respect others and their parents. Of course while doing this they have a lot of fun. Thank you to the staff for their committment to our children.
My children have been going to Columbus martial arts academy for some time now, and they absolutely love it, it teaches them respect, discipline, and self defense. The coaches and staff are wonderful, I would recommend to any family.
I don’t miss the money and it’s been well spent. Kids deal with a number of things… ADHD, behavioral, physical and mental. Our son has been attending and soon my Daughter. It’s not a belt factory, it more than just that. They instill multiple values, build character and confidence, and professionalism. Since 5 Casildo couldn’t even sit still or pay attention… at 11 now this young can roll with the best is is part of the junior black belt program. He’s developed in to well spoken and courteous young man. He continues to apply himself and the lessons learnt toward everything he does. No one is perfect, and the coaches recognize this there hands on approach and presence both on the mat and school is awesome! If you’re in the fence, if you doubt you’re kid (Let’s be real it can happen) you will Definitely appreciate the coaches and this program. Bless and be patient!
Amazing!This place has it all!Programs and levels to fit all students and abilities.Caring, patient, engaged instructors who really love what they do.Classes at several different times and day each week to ensure your child receives the instruction they need.
Had a 7:00 appointment for my son’s evaluation which they txted and called to remind me about several times. When we got there we were told that we could watch the classes going on but they end at 7:15 and someone would come talk to us. No one ever came. After the class ended I went to the front where again they said someone would come. But, another class started and No one ever came so we left. In all we waited 45 minutes.Obviously they don’t want new students. My son was pretty disappointed. We will be going someplace else.
Our son has been attending CMA for almost 8 months now and we love it. He cant wait for class every week. Cant say enough great things about Coach Tiler, Coach Mike, and Coach Ken. They are awesome with the kids and keep them engaged, focused, and learning.
I talked to I believe his name was Colton? On the phone the other day. He was very professional and easy to talk to. He got me setup to come check out the gym and do a test run to see if I would fit in. I didn’t realize that he was also an instructor when he was talking to me on the phone. To my surprise he was the one teaching me! It was a blast and I am very much looking forward to my future at the gym.
Such a blessing to have a place like this I can send my kids to and not have to worry about anything . Using that valuable time between when school gets out and dinner time to get them learning a fun sport and complete their assignments 🫡
My son had been attending Columbus Martial Arts for about 1 1/2. He enjoys coming to class and I’ve seen progress. He suffer for ADHD and I saw improvement in how to control his hyperactivity. Adicional to that his been teaching how to be a leader, how to deal with different situations. A great kids-friendly atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the coaches are patient and knowledgable. The coaches will make sure to find the class best fit for your children. Highly recommend!
I love sending my child there!. Not only does he learn self defense, he is taught day to day life and leadership skills! CMA is the Best.
Great people who care about providing amazing service. Can’t find a place like this anywhere else. Thanks for creating such a stellar place for my child to grow, learn and become the best person he can be.
From day 1, I’ve been extremely impressed. The coaches are amazing and the atmosphere is always very welcoming. My daughter has been apart of the program since January and I have absolutely no regrets. Big Thank you to Coach Mike for all his hard work and dedication with black belt club! It’s not only always a learning experience each class but my daughter truly enjoys martial arts ! If you are interested in your child being apart of a martial arts program, this is the place to go! You definitely won’t regret it!
CMA was a good experience. Coaches there were very nice and professional. Our kid loved it!
Best school around for anyone looking to instill values and strong ethics in their kids, or even for their own physical and mental health. Highly recommend!
This academy is amazing! We are a military family and move every few years. I wanted somewhere for my son to go and feel a sense of stability. As well as to build his confidence, discipline and strength. We decided to give CMA a try and we don’t regret it one bit!! All of the coaches are amazing with the kids! They really take the time to listen and teach them. I also appreciate that they take the time to talk and listen with the parents about any concerns that we might have. Coach Tiler is the best! My 5 yr old son always looks forward to working with him! I love that he leaves there feeling confident every time. I am so happy we found this place!
We signed our son up to boost his confidence and got so much more with this program! His grades and attitude have improved since we started a few months ago. Definitely recommend!
My daughter has been attending this facility for 7 months now, I’ve seen so much progress in her behavior already! She enjoys coming to practice to learn new skills and loves to interact with the coaches!! Keep up the great work CMAA!! 😊
We sent our son to CMA to teach him to fight. This Academy is more of a leadership prep school that teaches not only fundamentals, but also character as a part of the childs foundation. It has been a blast getting to know the staff as they get involved in many facets of my sons life. He cant wait to come every week to see his coaches and go to ninja class. His behavior and focus are much improved and we are very appreciative. I highly recommend Columbus Martial Arts Academy.
My son is five , and he has been training at the academy since April. In just a short time, I have watched him develop confidence, discipline, and resilience. He looks forward to training two times a week and for me it is a great bonding experience to. As a parent, it provides a model for my son to correct behaviors and respect others. I am thankful for the program and the coaches. I look forward to watching my son develop more as he continues to train at the academy.
My son has been going here for almost a year now and its been amazing. All of the coaches are great with the kids and focus on, not just their martial arts skills, but also their character in and outside of class. My sons overall behavior, respect, discipline, and focus have improved exponentially since he started classes. Definitely recommend for everyone!
Josiah has been apart of Columbus Martial arts for about a month now. He loves it and so do I! For me, the 1-2 minutes of individual attention is great. They ask how they are doing in school, how was their day and things of that nature. I also love how the coaches discuss how important it is to behavior, pay attention, and do your best not just in class but also at home and school. Josiah loves the games at the end of class too. One final thing, Josiah had an eyelash in his eye and it was irritating him bad. The coach went over to him, figured out the problem, and coached him on rubbing his eye. Their attentiveness to all the children is amazing. Josiah is in the beginners class.
My daughter started about two months ago. She absolutely loves class days. She is working hard and pushing to excel. This is a complete 180 to how she was 6 months ago. The coaches are amazing. They truly care about each student and helping them achieve their goals. We can’t say enough great things about the staff and coaches.
Columbus Martial Arr has been a very positive experience for both of my children who are 5 and 10. Coaches are all very involved and their patience with each child as they learn creates a really positive experience. Coach Ken really pushed my oldest to perform to his fullest potential. While maintaining a positive and fun experience for him. Only downside to the program is the cost is a little steep, but they do have different promotions and will work with you were they can. Overall it has been a great experience and both kids look forward to attending class each day
CMA is one of the best decisions we made, enrolling our oldest child at the beginning of our experience to enrolling our other three children as well.They’re very patient and experienced at meeting our children’s needs from head to toe. Inspiring our children to having confidence and having respect for everyone.Our youngest son is on the spectrum and he enjoys every minute of it. With CMA redirection and positive reinforcement he has improved staying focused.Our oldest daughter is very shy and they encouraged her to be confident in herself and it’s definitely paid off.Our oldest son was bullied in mid school to the point we had to change something. Now his confidence is where it needs to be.
Our daughter has been in the Tiny Warrior program for about 6 months now and they have been such a blessing to us. We put her in the program because she was having some behavioral issues in school, she was somewhat timid and very emotional. Since joining the program she has done a complete 360! She has a lot more confidence in herself and controls her emotions very well. All the coaches here are amazing!! They know ALL the kids by name and on a personal level. I love this place, it has worked wonders for us. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
Awesome instructors, my daughter loves coming here. Keep up the good work!
Amazing coaches dedicated to helping the kids become better athletes and students!!! Coach Mike is phenomenal and highly recommended!I am truly amazed at the time and dedication the entire staff takes to make every child and their entire family feel welcomed in this gym. My two sons who are 10 and 3 years old, attend Columbus MMA and enjoy it like I have never seen before. What I admire most from this gym, is the way they incorporate success in the gym but most importantly in school and life. This is the first program we have put our 3 year old in because many athletic programs do not begin until the age of 4 or 5. They do such a wonderful job with the younger kids in teaching them fundamental skills and showing adults respect all while having fun. I also had the privilege of throwing a birthday party at this venue and they made it one of the most memorable experiences of our lives.
Absolutely love! My daughter, who is 10, has learned multiple self defense moves and has the absolute most fun doing so. It not only builds strength but her confidence as well. The studio promotes self confidence, self defense and structure. The coaches are involved with not only happenings in the studio but also how my daughter is doing in school and at home. This is the place you want your kids to go!
When I moved to Columbus, I decided to finally follow up on practicing martial arts after putting it off for a while. After searching around, I finally decided to sign up for the adult classes at Columbus Martial Arts Academy and I haven’t regretted it one bit. I immediately noticed how welcoming the atmosphere within the gym was. It’s always intimidating when starting something new, especially martial arts, but they were able to establish a dynamic that allowed for me to be comfortable while also expanding upon myself physically and mentally. The camaraderie is also unmatched, as I’ve met some amazing training partners and we’ve all grown together. The coaches are always willing to answer any questions I have after class and provide advice and tips that you may need personally. Reflecting on where I started and where I am now, I’ve learned so much and there’s still more room for improvement. They’ve most certainly kindled my passion for the sport. I highly recommend.As for the children’s classes, it’s amazing how the coaches are able to foster such a family friendly environment. Their classes usually take place right before the adult class, and on days where I would be early, I would watch the children’s classes along with the parents. The kids love it, and so do the parents. As a matter of fact, there have been several parents who have joined the adult class after witnessing their kids train and grow so much. Columbus Martial Arts Academy is an amazing place for people of all ages to grow and appreciate martial arts!
From the moment you enter the door the staff is friendly, greeting you and introducing them selves. The coaches ask and answer all your questions professionally and with great knowledge. This was my three year olds first experience with any sports, and the coaches were amazing making the boys feel at ease. The coaches go above and beyond to teach on a level that the kids can relate too. Not only do the coaches teach superb lessons but they also focus on discipline and other core values that they boys have picked up on and my wife and I love. The boys love coming to class and talk about it all week. I would recommend Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy to everyone and we will be coming for a long time.
My 6-year-old loves it here and I am so happy I went off Google reviews to try it out. The experience starts out great with Kina, who works the front desk... she knows everyone, and greets everyone with a smile and a hello. We started in January with an assessment from Coach Tiler, and was told about how their MMA program differs from others. They use SPARK, and Im really happy thats a thing... I wanted her to be with kids her age! Even during the stay at home, they held zoom classes! Coach Andrew was great with her age group (she was 5 when we started), and after lockdown, she tried out for the next age group (Coach Tiler, who is super awesome). These coaches are so good with the kids, and I have seen some transformations during the last (almost) 10 months!! Coach Colton (the overseer, lol) keeps us all updated on FB, IG, and through their app. My daughter also got to train with Coach Colton a couple of times, and hes scary good! Im happy my daughter has a place to learn thats fun, disciplined, safe, and spacious.
This has been one of the best decisions Ive ever made for my children. My kids were somewhat reserved and timid in the past but with the proven and positive methods the coaching staff has provided them their confidence has grown so much farther than I would of ever imagined.I have to say this about the coaching staff. Im not sure how the screening process works to find these coaches but what ever it was worked. Each and everyone of them is doing exactly what they should be doing in life. They offer a fun filled, safe environment that offers the kids a new challenge to overcome every day. With positive reinforcement my son in particular has become a real leader and I couldnt be more in awe of what theyve created in him. I have nothing but respect for the team at Columbus MMA and am so very grateful theyve touched our familys lives.If youre on the fence about placing your child in the program in this gym, please take my advice and do it. Your child will grow far beyond your imagination.Update: Its been several years since weve relocated away from Columbus and my son left this amazing gym but still to this day, I see the mark theyve left on my son! The values theyve helped me to instill about doing the right thing have not left him and I honestly believe, in addition to good parenting, the folks at that gym placed a large part in helping to make the young man my son is growing into.If youre blessed enough to be able to send your child to this facility, dont hesitate! Their experiences will last a lifetime!
My son absolutely loves CMA. Tha coaches and staff are great!
I have been bringing my 9yr old son here to the Academy since November 2018. I was looking for an extra curricular activity for him that could bring him out of his shell & build his confidence. He ended up loving it! The Coaches here are great teachers - they are always present, very knowledgeable in their craft, and enthusiastic & ready to work with the kids. I like the fact that they regularly go to training to learn how to effectively teach children, as well as to further study/learn their martial arts. Watching from the stands, i can feel how much fun all the kids are having & i especially am proud of how much my son has learned so far. When it comes to cost, I feel like Im getting my moneys worth, since classes are scheduled up to 4x a week.Overall, I would highly recommend Columbus Martial Arts Academy when it comes down to value for a program, as well as being staffed by a genuinely nice group of Coaches who are also competent, learned professionals in their field.
Coaches are well trained individuals and are very knowledgeable. All of the staff show genuine concern for the childrens well being. Not only do they teach the kids about respect and discipline, they make it a fun environment for the kids to enjoy as well. My daughter truly looks forward to her classes each week and learning new material.
Registering my son in the Columbus Martial Arts Academy has been one of the best decisions I have ever made for him. The instructors are amazing! They really care about the students. My son has grown to be a very independent and confident boy. He is really proud of the progress he has made for the last months. It has not only help him personally but also academically. He has learned to try his best in everything he does. I highly recommend this academy to anyone.
This is one awesome place and martial arts academy. My son and his best friend loves it. They enjoy coming here. After the first day the kids wanted to come back every day! I would recommend this academy to all my family and friends. I want to give a special thank you to Coach Tiler for being so helpful and patient with the boys. You’re truly an amazing person. Thank you being a great influence for the boys.
CMAA is great. The coaches are amazing. Everything from our first visit to now (months later) has been great. Its well worth the money. My son has become more discipline , confident, and willing to try new things. He is on his own journey to becoming a “ninja”, which is so exciting to watch.Coach Tiler was so informative when doing the placement (assessment) test. Coach Ken and Coach Andrew are great, they work so well together, and with the kids - so does Coach Dominic. It’s just such a great atmosphere. I highly recommend CMAA. I’m even thinking about taking the adult classes.
My son has been coming here for over a year and he loves it! The coaches are amazing! They encourage the students to strive to do their best! We had tried several other martial art studios and hands down this is the absolute best!
Our family loves Columbus Martial Arts Academy! Our daughter is learning important lessons both physically and mentally that will benefit her throughout her entire life. After only six weeks in the program we can see the positive impact the amazing coaches are having on her outlook and decisions. We can’t wait to see her development over the next year! Thank you, CMA coaches, for all you do!
The decision to have my son enrolled here has proven to be of great benefit to him. The students are often complemented for their participation and achievements which builds pride and self-esteem. The coaches look at each child as an individual and show concern for the childs physical and mental well-being.
Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy is definitely the gym to go to. All of the coaches are passionate about what they do and are very professional. My first class was with Coach Matt Clay, and he taught me many techniques and was there to assist me every step along the way. It was my first class that I felt comfortable and determined to improve. The students and coaches welcomed me with open arms. I highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants to train with honor, respect, and discipline.
This place is awesome. I am dual military and needed my kids to have more discipline because we worked so much. I enrolled both my kids and they love it. Both of them say yes sir and yes maam now. The instructors are awesome and provide positive reinforcement, but they also just dont hand things out. Everything given to the students is earned. This is a great place for your children.
A great kids-friendly atmosphere. The staff is friendly and the coaches are patient and knowledgable. The coaches will make sure to find the class best fit for your children. Highly recommend!
After a thorough search for the best quality martial arts school for my daughter, we chose Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy. This school goes far beyond the martial arts standard and I am continuously impressed by the coaches dedication to providing not only the best instruction, but also strong values and challenges to keep these kids engaged and having fun while doing so. Shes been taking classes and participating in the afterschool program for now over a year, and it is still a struggle to get her out the door at the end of each day. We both are so glad we found this gym and highly recommend to other children and their families!
I have 2 children in their MMA course and I go to their adult class, weve been doing it for almost 2 years. They love it, and I enjoy how much they are learning... Every class is different, and the coaches do a great job engaging the kids and making the information stick.... I highly recommend Columbus MMA to anyone that wants their child to learn some awesome self defense skills.... They have multiple scheduled classes throughout the week to accommodate any work schedule!!!!
My grandson started his classes here over a year ago and he enjoys it greatly! The coaches are very involved with their students and the love and care they show for each one is highly commendable. Respect, discipline, and honor are shown from both the coaches and the students. They have high expectations and the students perform well within the home, their school, and the community. We couldnt have found a better place for him!
Love it. The coaches are very professional, respectful, and dedicated. My sons have come a long way with their confidence and attitude. The staff really know what theyre doing and they work great with the kids. I really recommend this place for kids and adults!
Great program for kids! Not just a program for them to learn martial arts skills, but also teaches character building. Over the six months that my daughter has been enrolled, I have seen a change in her behavior. She takes pride in doing chores, helping others, and doing her homework. My husband and I enrolled her for many reasons, but what weve gotten out of Columbus MMA is so much more!
Columbus Martial Arts Academy truly CARES about their kids! The coaches are focused on instilling values, respect, focus, and so much more! They WANT to help their kids in personal growth, whether it be at home, school, or in their class. I’m seeing a huge difference in my son since starting class with CMA and he loves it as well!
My son had done almost 2 years of Muay Thai before we moved to the Columbus area. I wanted to get him into martial arts to continue his training. We tried another gym out in the area but I just felt like it didnt really *click* for my son. So we contacted CMAA and set up am appointment for Coach Mike to access our son. All I have to say is Im glad we found this place. They follow the same structure as his old gym... It has been such a smooth transition and he is thriving. I highly recommend CMAA. They are a very well rounded gym and the coaches are fantastic! They welcomed my son with open arms and it means the world to me💗💗
My granddaughter began attending this gym some time ago to get into bjj, but I live out of state and only heard about the great things shes been doing there. A few months ago I came up for her first competition and was absolutely floored watching her compete. With the technique she showed that day and with the help of Coach Mike I watched her bring home a first place medal...! Shes very clearly passionate about martial arts and I look forward to the next one. Just wanted to thank the coaches for their dedication to all of these children and seeing the wonderful things theyve done for my girl, I would certainly recommend to other families
I would give a lot more stars if I could. My son has been going to after school and MMA for almost 4 years now. They staff are great and really listen (love you Alison and Rae). The MMA coaches are like family. They are a big part of the wonderful, respectful, compassionate, and fun loving kid my son has become. He holds their opinion is high regard. Thanks Simon, Colton, Mike, Tyler, Kent, Shawn and of course he loves Dominic. We love this place.
I would like to say this is the best Academy to bring your child. While I was searching for an academy to start my 4 year old son I can across CMMA, so I contacted them to go over their curriculum levels and rates they wanted to meet me and my child before discussing any other information. I was very pleased when coming in i spoke to Mr. Stokes about some realistic goals that i wanted to see from my son Jaylon. My goals for my 4 year old are to have better self discipline, develop a new skill, focus, and most importantly to break him from his shyness he then ensured me that they can help develop and improve any of my concerns. The same day Mr. Stokes and my son had a one on one session. My son absolutely enjoyed the experience and Mr. Stokes. He didnt even want to leave! My sons first class he was so excited, but yet so very shy Mr. Stokes made sure that he meet each and every child and gave him a little more attention to help him become more comfortable. We are now about 5 to 6 classes in and my son loves coming just to see Mr. Stokes and the rest of their team. This academy has an phenomenal curriculum level. They really engage in repetition and realistic learning patterns witch every 4 year old should experience. The instructors at Mixed Martial Arts really helps meet your requirements. If you are searching for an academy please dont pass this academy up they are truly one of a kind. The instructors really go above and beyond to help each and every child, and at the age of 4 i was very impressed to see how smart and how much each child has already grown from their experience. So, I really encourage you to try this method of learning with your child, so that we can all watch our children grow for the better.
We love Columbus Martial Arts Academy so much! Our son started going there several months ago after expressing some interest in martial arts and this acadamy is just what we were looking for. They not only teach the physical skills required but also social and emotional skills that we feel are so important to his development. Our son, 5, is growing into a respectful, confident, and highly motivated individual and I thank Columbus Martial Arts Acadamy and their knowledgeable coaches for fostering that growth.
CMA has been a tremendous help with our son to cope with his autism. He was bullied at school due to the kids not understanding his condition. He shut down and became a recluse. But with the training he’s received from the excellent instructors, he has opened up more & loves attending! We are so greatful for CMA & the staff. I highly recommend CMA to all parents who has a child (or children) looking for structure, exercise, self defense, and self confidence booster; also, therapy for autistic children.
Columbus Martial Academy is an excellent gym for all ages. Coach Michael Stokes is on of the most positive, enthusiastic, and definitely motivating instructors Ive ever worked with. His training technique is easy to keep up with and catch on too easy. I would recommend this gym to anyone.
This has been an amazing program for not just my younger sister, but the whole family. All the the coaches are really amazing and awesome. Everyone there is dedicated to the work they do. the coaches strive for everyone to be the best person they can be. Its been great seeing my sister improve as time goes on not only in her martial arts skills but her behavior and attitude as well. Definitely an amazing program!
The MMA class there is great! The coaches are outgoing, caring, and teach self discipline to their students with great patience. My son was only 3 years old when he first started. The positive change and self discipline I saw in him over the course of the months that he attended was astonishing!!
Great coaches amazing atmosphere!!
Love the environment that surrounds who Columbus Martial Arts Academy are. Staff is extremely helpful and polite.Coaches seem to not be there because it is a job but because they are passionate about what they do.
Columbus Martial Arts Academy is a great place for kids to learn discipline, respect and confidence. My son has learned a lot for only being in for a short period of time. and i appreciate all the coaches for their help.
I met with coach Tiler on Tuesday & he made my son fall in love with the program in the time he spent with him! My son is super shy and he holds back A TON, but he made my son feel so comfortable! He is WONDERFUL with kids & you can tell he is passionate about what he does!!!! I’m so excited for my son to be apart of this program and can’t wait to see him grow! A HUGE THANKYOU to coach Tiler!!!!
This is a great place. We have been attending this gym for right at a year now and we absolutely love the atmosphere and Coaches here. My son has become very passionate about BJJ over the year and he hopes to gain even more knowledge and skills from these coaches over the years to come. Thanks again MMA for your super involvement and dedication in my sons life!
Bottom Line: Despite quality instruction, run as fast as you can.I recently took my five year-old daughter to two trial lessons here. We were very impressed by the coaches and how involved all the children were. They were all very excited to be there and did a good job being focused during the lesson. The coaches managed to involve them the entire time, and every kid there seemed to love it. The introductory program is essentially a guided exercise class that tried to teach kids to focus on following directions. Once they show they can focus well enough, they are invited to the Black Belt Club, where they study fighting. There is also a competition program that is active and sounds very exciting.I had some misgivings after numerous strange phone calls from their office. In one, they complained that I missed an appointment (I hadnt). In another, they called to remind me of an appointment but gave me the wrong time. The strangest went like the following:Them: Hello, this is Columbus Mixed Martial Arts. I heard you were interested in signing your daughter up. When can I make an appointment for her to come in?Me: I already made an appointment.Them: Oh... Can I have your phone number for our records?Me: You called me.Them: I would really appreciate it if you could give us your phone number.Me: How much does your program cost?Them: I cant answer that question.Me: When would my daughters classes be if I signed her up?Them: Youd have to talk to the coach. I cant tell you that.Me: Can I talk to the coach or someone else who can answer my questions?Them: No. Can I have your phone number please?Despite our misgivings, we decided to sign our daughter up. The owner brought us into an office and asked us why he should allow our daughter to be selected for this competitive program. Then, he started a high-pressure sales pitch to convince us to sign up for his limited time offer of $894 up front for eight months of classes. The owner was evasive when asked if there were any other fees. This was far more money than we expected, so we left to think it over and do research. We found numerous reviews from people claiming that the company charges several hundred dollars for the Black Belt Club upgrade, which your child will need to stay interested long term after 1-2 months. This is on top of what they already charged. Additionally, if you want your child to progress, you need to pay belt fees. One reviewer claimed that her two children were kicked out for disruptive behavior. I can understand that, but the owner pocketed the rest of their money and refused to give a refund. In his response to the review, he called out the children by name, talked about their autism condition, and accused them of stealing. Other reviewers talked about difficulties getting refunds for what sounded like legitimate reasons, and the owner was very abusive in his responses. There are many review pages for slightly different variations of the companys name, and most of the older ones are full of reviews like this. Please search.I was very excited about the quality of the instruction, but the shady business practices, hidden costs, high-pressure sales, and questionable ethics encouraged me to search elsewhere.
I have been with this academy for 10 months now. It was initially just for my 3 kids. Ranging from 5-14 years of age. I caught myself also wanting to participate so I could help my little ones practice at home and it has definitely been life changing. Great way to release stress and the comradery built is great. I would recommend this to anyone. They have all levels from beginner to veterans in the juijitsu game. Very much a family environment.
My husband and I enrolled our son almost one year ago and we love the school the staff and the friendly environment.The coaches are very motivated in teaching .Our son really likes going to practice and he has learned a lot in such a short time.I recommend The MMA Academyof Columbus to everyone!!
Columbus MMA is amazing! Ive been going for almost 10 months now and it has greatly impacted my life. I literally use to suffer from heart issues but after attending, my health, attitude and over all appreciation for being in great shape has changed. The instructors are ready and willing and the fellow students make the atmosphere warm but competitive. If youre looking to better your fitness, become more focused and disciplined or just past the time with a pretty rad hobby, Columbus Mixed Martial Arts is the place to be!
Love this place! My son just started and he is in LOVE with being a “ninja”. Not only do the coaches interact well with my son, they also check in to make sure he is well behaved at home and at school. Coach Tiler and Chris are amazing!
My 5yr old daughter attends Columbus Mixed Martial Art Academy and she loves it! They pick her up from school everyday and help her with her home work until it is time to train. She is much more disaplined and focused then she was before. She is more confident in her choices and respectful to everyone she meets. I cant thank Coach Mike and the other coaches at the accademy enough for what they have done for my daughter and my family. Oss!
I love this place!! My daughter went here for a year for BJJ until we moved away. We want to come back to Georgia, just for this school! We have yet to find another that compares. The coaches are absolutely fantastic, and the kids are trained so well! They also have an amazing after school program, as well as an awesome summer camp!!!!!
I love this organization! I take the womens bootcamp and kickboxing classes, and they are great! Coach Lydia and Coach Anton are awesome! They push you hard, offer constructive criticism, and give you encouragement. I feel accomplished every time I leave class. Ive only been a member for about 4 months, but I have already seen major improvement in both my strength and stamina. Not only are the coaches awesome, your fellow gym-mates are awesome too. We challenge each other, support each other, and hold each other accountable. Columbus MMA is unlike any other gym Ive ever been to. I dont feel intimidated because I know I am among people who want me to be better and meet my goals. I would recommend this gym to anyone! I love my Columbus MMA family!! (:
My son attends the summer camp here and loves it. They show a great interest in all of their students. This academy of instructors prove that dedication and loyalty is what they strive for. Im happy to have my child attend this academy and would recommend anyone to check it out for themselves.
I been taking classes for about 2 months now. And i love it the coaches are very supportive. And makes sure you have the moves done right. And if your a slow learner like me. They take the time to help you. And if your looking to loose weight i lost 14 pounds already its a very good workout as well i went from 214 to 200. So if youre looking for a good place to lean this is the place for you.
I have three kids, 3, 6, and 10, currently enrolled and can’t say enough good things! They focus on martial arts as a way of life and their behavior, focus, and dedication to their family, education, community, and chosen pursuits, not just while they are in class. It’s been a great confidence and self-esteem builder and I’m looking forward to seeing my kids continue to improve and grow!
My son loves coming to class! The coaches really care about the kids and take the time to speak to each of them before class. Great place to take your kids.
They offer a stable, comfortable, and fun environment to learn and practice Jiu-Jitsu in. Fantastic instructors and great adult group has made this one of my favorite gyms Ive ever been in. Overall I have been very happy with this school since day one and cant wait for more!
I cant say enough about CMA. My daughters been going for about 2 years & it is absolutely the best thing weve done for her. Its helped build her self esteem & confidence so much. Her coaches are the best group of guys out there. 🤩
My daughter Jaidyn has been attending Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy for little over a year now and I couldnt be any happier with our experiences here. She has not only blossomed with great potential for Jiu Jitsu but is developing into a very confident, motivated and dedicated child. She refuses to miss a day of training! I love the way that Columbus Mixed Martial Arts not only focuses on the physical attributes of training but also instill leadership and discipline in the children. I definitely recommend Columbus Mixed Martial Arts if you are looking to motivate, encourage and instill discipline in your child along with a family atmosphere; this is the place for you an your child!
We love this place! The coaches really invest in the lives of the children and my son looks forward to going! The skills hes learned and the encouragement hes received really makes an impact on his behavior at school and home too!
Ultimate Youth Sports/Columbus Martial Arts Acadmey is the best after school and martial arts program! They offer so many opportunities for kids of all ages. Martial Arts is one of the best aspects about this program. It teaches children how to properly defend themselves in real life situations. I have been training jiu jitsu in this program for a little over a year now and I love it! It has truly taught me focus, discipline, and mental strength. I would have never been able to be the person I am today without Ultimate Youth Sports. :)
I have nothing but great things to say about this Academy! Immaculate facility and such a welcoming, fun place to be. Structured learning processes combined with fun and encouragement provide the perfect balance for these young martial arts students. I recommend to anyone will children, young or teen to come and check it out. They have so many great things to offer and constantly improving. Couldnt be happier here.
Coach Tiler has been a phenomenal influence for my child. Patient and kind yet firm and no bull attitude which is what my son needed. Very pleased with my decision to enroll my child with this academy.
My son Aden loves attending MMA Academy. He likes learning new moves and practicing with his team. I am impressed with the high level of instruction and him learning responsibility, discipline, respect, leadership,etc.Last year, we enrolled him in the After School program. We find it to be a great value. They pick him up after school, 1 to 3 ratio assisting with homework, structured team building, and included Mixed Martial Arts instruction (striking, Jijitsu, grappling, Muy Thai boxing, and the art of not fighting).I highly recommend Columbus MMA Academy.Mr. Devera
I love the energy in this place! They are so patient and motivating with all the children. I can really see the difference in my daughters attitude since we first started. She has really found the confidence in herself to achieve and persevere. Im happy and thankful to be apart of this academy.
My grandson takes classes at the Academy and really enjoys it! The staff is always friendly and helpful and the coaches are amazing with the kids.
I first came here wanting to attend the boxing classes last year. I accidentally went to a Muay Thai class and was hooked from the second I started. I had never worked out that hard in my life! Now they have an all womens kickboxing class with the awesome instructor Lisa Randolph. I thought the class would be a bit toned down from working out with the guys, but its actually more intense! She makes the class super fun and always different every time. I cant wait to go to kickboxing each week! Everyone here is helpful and you feel like youre with a great group of friends.
Do not go here! We had a horrible experience with CMA before we even started classes. I went against some advice from a long-time BJJ practitioner who recommended I not go here because of shady contract agreements. He was right! The Manager/head instructor was misleading and attempted to entrap us. During your first visits and assessment, they try to have you sign a contract and providing payment information in order to avoid a steep entry fee. This amounts to $600 in savings per child. CMA gave us the weekend to talk about it and make a decision on how to move forward. We decided to cancel due to a pending overseas deployment. I called the morning of the final day we had to confirm before being charged. When I called and spoke to the Manager, he told me the payment already went through! He had the audacity to question whether my deployment was legitimate, yet he has never served in the military himself. He then deferred to the contract and a third party billing agency who never returned my phone calls. I had to dispute the charges with my bank. The will be hearing from my lawyer.
Best MMA academy Ive ever trained in!!!! The staff is very professional and always courteous! You will get a GREAT workout and world class instruction. I encourage everyone no matter your age or skill level to check them out, you wont be disappointed!!
Here at FU the staff is very open and there is a no pressure environment. The coaches are accepting of beginners like me and the members are far more friendly than other gyms. I started with boxing and recently upgraded to the full mma package and it is certainly worth it. I look forward to coming into class knowing it will be a great cardio experience as well as a chance to learn a new skill in combat sports. For those looking for a confidence boost, a better understanding of mma and combat sports and a great workout without having to run through town this is the place to be.
Columbus MMA is a great place for beginners to learn muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Mixed Martial Arts techniques. The staff and coaches are all super friendly and approachable, making it a welcome place even for the newest of newbies. With childrens programs, a summer camp, and womens only classes, this gym is perfect for everyone in the family. If I could give them 6 stars, I absolutely would!
This is hands down THE BEST place to train in mma, or any one discipline desired in the Columbus, GA/East AL area. Everyone, from the staff, to the management, to the coaches are always in contact, nobody from the youngest coach to the owner give off a Im better than you vibe so common in mma gyms, and the other students are all very welcoming and humble. Humility is the cornerstone of what this gym stand for and it is drilled into the head of all students regardless of rank or skill level, here is the best place to excel at BJJ, here is where you can excel in Muay Thai and Boxing, And with world class leadership if being a fighter is a goal, they will help you learn to implement all skills into one big game plan. Never will you feel like the new guy/girl nor will you be harassed if you arent the greatest when you begin, Fighters United is a team, but they give off a feeling of being family, and 4 months after signing up, Im still as excited to go as if it was my first week.
Great group of coaches! All the kids become friends!
I have been enrolled in the Ladies Kickboxing/Muay Thai class for a WEEK, 1 week.... During that week I can already see a change in my body and in my skills. Lisa is a great instructor and after coming off an excruciating 10 week post op recovery for rotator cuff repair and capsular shift on my right/dominant shoulder I needed a work out that would be suitable and flexible and allow me to continue to heal... I got just that here at Fighters United MMA academy in Columbus. I am pushed to do my own personal best each and every class and the atmosphere keeps me motivated and pumped! As someone who has always been athletic and in pretty good shape I had let myself go since my injury in December, NOW though I am setting new goals for myself and reaching those goals quickly, even just after a week!!! If you have doubts then it is because of you! If I can do what I am doing then I think anyone can and with the support that you get from the instructor and the owner as well as the other trainers there is absolutely no way you can fail unless that is what you set out to do! They even understood that I would be PCS in a month and a half and altered my contract and the rates. It is an amazing place to work out and a great atmosphere and I happy to be part of and a member of Fighters United MMA Academy!!! A decision I will not ever regret!!!
The program is thorough. The staff are professional and the style of teaching promotes self esteem and confidence for all ages. All of the staff are very knowledgeable and exceptional with instruction, but working with Coach Clay independently is great.
My son loves coming to class! Great program.
This place is amazing! the instructor constantly assist and give you tip on how to better in martial arts and life in general. Coach Simon gives great speeches to motivate student to become black belts on and off the mats. If you are reading this you should stop in see this place!!!
I have been looking for something extra in my life to get me up and moving again. It took me a minute to finally get in and start training but now that I am I can’t get enough. This is by FAR one of the best decisions I have ever made. The coaches are great at what they do and keep you very engaged. I can honestly say that this was one of the best decisions I’ve made all year. Looking forward to the improvements I’ll have for the new year!
It all started when my coworker invite me to go but I turn him down, my wife encourage me to try some Brazilian jujitsu classes and I was intimidated by it. But that moment I took the class I felt all my insecurities when away and began to focus on the teachings of Coach Swift and enjoy the class to the fullest . At MMA of Columbus they are very friendly and respectful towards any student, it is my second family and I enjoy every time Im there . If you want to try any discipline for example Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boot Camp , Muay Thai. Youll enjoy it and be addicted to it from the moment you try any class I mention. I really recommend this place if you want to have a second family and become a healthy person in body, mind and spirit !! this is the Gym for you!!
Great and safe and environment for children of all ages. Coach Mike is outstanding. Children learn the fundamentals of respect, hard work and discipline. Highly recommend Columbus MMA!
Excellent place Coach Ty is an amazing instructor I highly recommend him
My sons love this place. The coaches are wonderful. The facility is clean. The lessons have purpose. I’ve recommended several friends.
Columbus Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness is not only the best place to train in Ju Jitsu/Muay Thai/MMA but also the best community to be a part of. Positive support, family friendly environment, after school program, excellent training (top notch coaches), and so much more. Dont take my word for it, drop on by and check it out yourself. You wont be disappointed.
My son is so much more confident and focused since he started here. We enjoy the classes and he has made many friends.
My son, Ty Samford, has been going to the Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy now for almost a year and he is in the summer program also. Ty wakes up each day looking forward to going. His behavior has improved; as well as his attitude towards doing things for his family. MMA has helped Ty identify goals he would like to accomplish and what characteristics make up a good leader. Ty is already a gray belt and he displays some GREAT leadership skills. I attribute this to the great group of folks at Columbus MMA. We love going and BELIEVE in their program. Columbus MMA is a great asset to our community. Thanks Columbus MMA!!!
My experience at Fighters United was incredible. The staff was friendly, fantastic, and knew what they were doing. I highly recommend Fighters United to anyone that wants to train and get into shape! Fighters United is not the place to play, you come in and train hard everyday and it shows. Can not say anything bad about Fighters United.
Enrolled my son in their classes. He enjoyed every moment he was able to attend. Unfortunately I didnt read the fine print of the contract, and have been continually billed for the last 6 months, while the staff proclaims they have no idea whats going on. Seems to me if you have a business, you know whats going on.
Really disappointed! I requested more informations online and got a call from them. However the lady I spoke to was not helpful at all! They wanted me to come in with my son to do an evaluation class but couldnt give me a price range for how much it would be monthly. I told her I need the price range before I bring my son in for a class and him love it and not be able to afford it and him be disappointed! She still kept saying they would give me the price AFTER the class.
Ive been training Kickboxing and boxing at FU for about 2 months and Jiu Jitsu for almost a month and Ive lost about 20lbs. The Instructors are very knowledgeable and work with all skill levels. Id recommend this gym to anybody.
When I moved to Columbus, my brother and I searched for an MMA gym to train at. When we found Fighters United, the staff was very kind to us. Everyone who works and trains at Fighters United knows my brother and me by name. The instructors teach us authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, and MMA. We have attended Fighters United for about three months now and we havent looked back. I see the results and the pay-off of my training. This place is the ideal start for someone seeking to learn and understand martial arts. I am lucky to be part of a place that is legitimate and looks after each one of its members.
Great teachers. They go above and beyond with the kids. Our son recently had a bullying incident at school we spoke with the coach about it and they spoke with the class about bullying.
S/o to all of the coaches on an amazing job! My son has learned so much from you all. His behavior has changed so much. I really do appreciate you all, especially COACH CLAY!!!
My children started going in December. They love it.
The instructors are fantastic with the students! My son has taken there for the last 5 months and couldn’t be happier. Great place for martial arts!!
Love this place! They have taught my daughter valuable life skills that can not be replaced. The staff is wonderful and so welcoming!
Columbus Mixed Martial Arts Academy has been a home away from home. The atmosphere promotes hard work, but also retains a fun and welcoming vibe. People here are extremely friendly, and it makes the hard work feel easy!
I love it ! Ive progressed so much in such a short period of time, the coaches are great and the gym itself is phenomenal. A wonderful atmosphere and just a bunch of fun. I recommend this for anyone of all ages
Gotta give it to Coach Ken and his patience in working with the 4 year old group. My daughter loves coming to class and it’s 100% the coach that has her wanting to come back and learn new things.
I am sending this review as a warning, be careful of what you are told when paying out your hard earned money. I signed my grandson up for the program, at that time I was told I could cancel any time within 60 days, for any reason. When I came in to cancel I was told to fill out this form, I did, then told to call cancellation department.I could not reach anyone so when I called back to the gym I was told I could not cancel only transfer to another family member. When that didnt work I was told to email the termination department, so I did. They told me because he did not come in for 18 visits I could not cancel. Now they will not let any email from me go in, it says permanent failure is the responds I get. I have prayed about this and would really like to receive a refund of my money, but I dont know what else to do. Maybe the media news. Very disappointed, I thought the young man was honest? Oh Well.
I enrolled my wife here for her to pursue her 2nd black belt in marshal arts. After a month of continuous training, we found out that she was in fact pregnant, however as a result she became bed-ridden for a few weeks and could no longer pursue training. We consulted with the dr. and it was determined that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu should be discontinued. I informed the gym and the informed that regardless of what had happened . we were under contract and had to pay in what resulted in over $500 of service in which we did not receive. The management of the gym in no way was willing to assist us and essentially scammed us for money. This gym does not care for it members and seeks only to take money from them.
The staff are nice and respectful. My child loves all of her coaches and the front desk lady answers all of my questions and is super sweet.
The coaches are so patient with the kids. They make sure they do the proper technique for the certain positions and moves. They will stop the kids and re-show them the proper way. They always re-show and make sure the kids understand how to do the moves they are working on.
My daughter started in February 2020 and loves it! They offer 1 free class to see if your child likes it. Try it out.
Most definitely would recommend this place to any one. This place, staffs, and coaches really helped build my confidence. They also make the environment feels very comfortable for everyone. Great motivators. Pushes you to achieve your goals. I wouldnt go anywhere else.
Great work out for me and the kids! Coach Mike is great with the kids! Full of energy himself and such a great attitude. I would definitely recommend it for everyone!
This has been an awesome place for Cesley to learn and have structure. The coaches are amazing the best. Cesley has come a long way with her focus andBehavior.
Great place for kids to learn martial arts
Kids friendly atmosphere and the whole family enjoys it is a plus. Very knowledgeable coaches, my family loves it here!
Very good teacher.my son love it.
I dont know where to begin. Im not the most athletic, but these guys, especially Matt Clay, really worked with me and my lack of skill. I actually like working out now. I absolutely the atmosphere and everyone there. Stay great guys!!
This place is amazing with trying to learn martial arts. My nephew goes here and he loves his instructors. I would recommend this place for anyone. Its ran amazingly and beautifully. 5 stars!!!!
My son has been going to Columbus Martial Arts for a couple of months and he loves it. Glad we made the decision to enroll him.
Be careful. I paid a down deposit of 399 and the contract was to be for 594 for 6 months. I called today and I am now being told that this is not correct even thought I have a contract that states otherwise. Due to the dishonesty of the company I can no longer endorse. My son will no longer go here.
Instructors are very supportive, motivating, informative, and professional. Highly recommended! Awesome way to get a nice workout and learn about the art of protection.
I am currently a student here and all of the coaches are really awesome and they push us to do our best when they know what we are capable of i personally recommend this place for new comers to martial arts.
Money pit. Kids are just cash cows and they‘re onto the next. Find a different martial arts place for your kids.
Awesome teachers great environment!
Love the people there. Almost feels like family and the coaches really are there to teach and help the children grow
Great place for childrens martial arts with awesome coaches that really care about their students progress on and off the mats!
My kids really like it. Great staff, great program!
Great facility! Knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff. Fun and welcoming atmosphere. If you have a chance to stop in see coach stokes!
I have truly enjoyed the beginners class, aand the instructors are very helpful, I know I will be returning for future classes to come!
Money hungry. They fake the reviews and set up the web pages so you cant leave reviews as easily. If your company has to comment on a bad review every time one is left, then who are they trying to convince?.... Interested clients or themselves..... No thank you.
Great place for kids to do martial arts
Instructor Clay is the man to go to if you want to get a good workout and get a good grasp of MMA knowledge
Professional staff and great with Children. Flexible class times and communication is on point.
Amazing gym, amazing staff, and amazing environment. My kids and I love the classes and staff
Brought my son here and he absolutely loved the place. Thinking of getting my daughter involved too!
Good training for kids teach disciplines very professional
Great place to train and learn the fundamentals of various martial arts such as muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu.
It is ridiculous that the original review I wrote was deleted. Horrible experience here! Ill be sure to always review back until they stop deleting negative comments because this place is a total joke!
Love this place staff is awesome omg I could not live without them .... love themmmmm best place ever

This place is a joke.

The people that train there make the place.
This place is so cool!
Best gym ever

2022-08-06My grandchildren have been going here for about 7 months and they have learn a lot from the coaches. They don’t just teach self defense. They teach how to be helpful in the community. How to be kind to others. How to be a leader. My granddaughter made me stop the car so she can get out and help an older woman put her bags in the trunk of her car. Made me so proud . Thanks everyone at Columbus Marshall Arts Academy. for helping make my grandchildren a better person

2022-06-08We signed up and let them know the day that we signed up that we wanted to cancel in 30 days because we are moving out of state. The owner let me know it was not a big deal and we would only be charged the one time fee and uniform fee. They continued to auto charge my card after i left the state with a no refund policy and when I informed them that I talked to the owner and was not to be charged. Billing told me the only way to cancel is in writing to the billing department (which is a third party entity, so the academy can dissociate themselves) and 30 days in advance. So when you cancel after they already stole your money they can still charge you again the month after if it is less than 30 days. So my one month I signed up for turned into 2 and I wasn’t there for 1.Besides the billing horror show. The instructors were amazing and patient. I loved that my child was able to interact with other children and positive role models to help enforce discipline. He had a great time learning and contouring all the movements. The instructors are will trained and prepared for each lesson and it shows.Thank you for all that you have done for my family, we do appreciate all the hard work and dedication.

2022-08-01Since the beginning, the classes have been focused on making sure the student strives to become their best. If my student or any student needs help the coaches take their time to show them after class. The disciplinary measures are great. No student should interrupt the overall class progress. My student has learned control, discipline, and how to be more extroverted around new people. My student has been introduced to projects that help others in need and to reward those protect others, such as donating to the Ronald McDonald House and even providing food to First Responders. Although there are numerous examples to show how great this organization has been to my student, we would like to say that we appreciate what you have done for my student.

2022-08-05Absolutely love CMA! Our oldest son has been attending here for about a year and we’ve watched him really start to grow into himself since then. The instructors are wonderful and I love how much they care about their students, both on and off the mats. CMA focuses on success both in martial arts and outside their doors in the real world and teach important lessons that they can carry with them for life. I would highly recommend giving them a chance. You won’t be disappointed!

2022-07-13I lived in Columbus after leaving the Army. As a father it was important for me to have my daughter take realistic applicable martial arts training.Many TKD and Karate schools are watered down, have zero self defense application and are nothing more than sports/gymnastics.Columbus Martial Arts had structured after school programs and summer programs that focused on the importance of education, respect, honor, discipline and loyalty.The actual martial arts training is applicable to real life self defense which not only gave my daughter confidence it gave her the ability to defend herself against an attacker if ever in that situation.I highly recommend Columbus Martial Arts Academy along with Colton and the team there.

2022-05-25Our child is very active and was very excited at first to get out on the mat and learn. She had a hard time understanding why she had to keep moving to the back of the group as more kids showed up. A three year old does not understand that they are being moved back because they do not have as many stripes. This really bothered her and none of the instructors took the time to explain to her that is why she was moved to back when more kids showed up. Then during skills review week they make sure everyone gets all their stripes (which she did), but then she had to sit on her dot during the whole class during testing week because she was not there long enough to get a new belt (even though she could complete all the skills). Now, she is with the same kids, but once again is moved to the end of the class because she is the new kid, not because of her skill level because she was not allowed to test for a new belt.Some instructors are great with the kids and some just seem to be there to follow a curriculum and not really teach or connect with the kids. Our child ended up refusing to go onto the mat. Only one instructor really encouraged her to go on the mat, but if he was not leading the class she was not interested.After carrying her out of class we asked how to cancel and the lady at the front desk gave us an email to send our cancellation. Now a month after sending that email I’m being told the way to cancel is to set up an exit interview… REALLY… IT TAKES YOU A MONTH TO RESPOND TO MY CANCELATION EMAIL? My child has not been to a class in a month and no one reached out make sure everything is ok???? NOT WORTH THE MONEY. Not a positive experience for our child.

2022-08-13CMA has been amazing. Our daughter is learning self defense, which is what we have desired her to do. She has developed self confidence and self discipline as well. The staff is awesome and very attentive to each child.

2022-02-19My 4 year old niece attends Columbus MMA. I came to watch her class and I was so impressed. I’m a public school teacher, and I noticed immediately how well-structured and age appropriate the class was. The instructors and assistants were all so positive and they adjusted to each kid’s abilities while making everyone feel included. Great job! My niece is learning so much.
