Fantastic place to train bjj and kickboxing. Master Andy, coach Darren, and coach stew are very nice and helpful. This isnt a place where you will feel completely beat up and outmatched. People will help you out and take care of you even through rolling and sparring. Very small groups which makes the environment personal and fun to be a part of. Overall I would 100% recommend. These people wont just become your training partners. They will become your friends and family.

Absolutely an amazing place to celebrate your childs birthday! Andy and his team kept our crew entertained the entire time with their patience, skill and professionalism. I highly recommend celebrating with AAMMA!

Andy and the whole gym are so great. We are really pleased with how they took my boys (5 and 6) in as little ninjas and taught them so much already. Each class is a combination of skills and activities that keeps them engaged and on their toes. No class is ever exactly the same but they are learning so many skills! The coaches and helpful “older kids” are so kind, patient, and such good role models while my two little ones learn to listen and follow directions (and release some energy) in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Couldn’t be happier with Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts!

I cannot say enough good things about Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts and the teachers. My son is in the intermediate program (moved up from beginner) and loves every minute of it. Andy and Russ teach not only martial arts, but valuable life lessons. Im so glad we found this place!!

Master Andy is an amazing teacher. He has helped our son develop his confidence, listening skills in addition to increasing his agility, flexibility and strength. Then tenants of school: Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control and Indomitable Spirit have become a core set of values for our son that are easy to tie into real life challenges. Master Andy is always available for our son to talk to and works with children in the most positive way. Our son has not been the most athletic however, he is thriving at Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts and loves coming to class. We are so grateful that we found this school and we would recommend it without hesitation to anyone.

My children have been attending Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts for about 5 years and are really enjoying it. It has taught them discipline and self control. Master Andy is an amazing coach who is very patient with the children and makes sure that everyone is safe he also teaches an anti-bully class. While the children are exercising I also get a TRX work out in with Coach Russ. I would highly recommend this place

This is the BEST martial arts studio for both kids and adults. Professor Andy and his staff are amazing with children and have decades of experience. Highly recommend!

Weve had two kids in martial arts at Ann Arbor MMA for a year and a half now. We love the tone of the instruction. It feels like the most practical way to learn self-defense - rather than standing the whole time and practicing throwing a million punches and kicks, Id rather have my kids learn how to escape when someone is pinning them down or how to stand up quickly with an arm out in defense. Theyve learned so much and we never hear them say that they dont want to go. Love this place! :)

At first I was very nervous to try the kickboxing class. As a young woman with absolutely no experience in fighting, I thought I was going to get destroyed or made fun of due to my lack of skill. After I finally went inside to the class, it was not horrible like I imagined it would be, in fact, it was one of the best and most fun workouts I have ever done! Andy gave me one on one training to learn the punching and kicking combinations and made sure I had the hang of it. My partner was also very understanding that it was my first time and was a little slower. I had a great experience, and am looking forward to more classes.

I have been going to the Jiu Jitsu class here for a month now and dont have any plans of stopping. From the first day I felt welcomed by the owner Andy, the coaches and the other students. Always clean, always friendly, always eager to answer questions. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.

My experience at Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts was top notch! I came into the facility wanting to change my life through physical fitness. With the help of Coach Andy and Ethan, they were able to come up with a plan for me to meet my goals by the end of the summer. The womens kickboxing class really whipped me into shape and boosted my confidence in everyday life. Toward the end of the summer, I attended another kickboxing class that pushed my body to the limit. Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts is an amazing facility for all ages. Whether you are looking to get your body in shape or just wanting to punch some bags for a couple of hours, this facility tailors to each students needs!

Love this place. No previous experience in any grappling and was nervous to go. Im glad I made the step to go. Love all the people there and look forward to training bjj.

Great place to learn self defense

This place has great bjj instruction in a comfortable environment with plenty of mat space.

Great place nice seating and thrusday doge all new fountain plus new skills

I highly recommend Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts to anyone who values being trained by an instructor that is not only extremely skilled but also exudes character and quiet strength. Master Andy has the gift of teaching - making complex moves simple by using questions and concise explanations. He commands so much respect from the kids in such a gentle way. I loved that he cross trains the kids not only in Tae Kwon Do but Brazilian Jiujitsu as well. Besides earning their black belts, our 3 girls have gained so much confidence, perseverance, discipline, leadership and character under Master Andys guidance. I highly recommend Ann Arbor Mixed Martial Arts.

Great people, great instruction, great environment. 1000% recommended!

Andy DeJesus is an amazing teacher and martial artist! He is amazing with the kids, and he works magic with his adults. Ive seen many of his adult students test for blue and purple belts (as well as brown), and they are very technical.And one of the best things is the environment he has created. You dont have to have any previous martial arts experience, or already be in shape, they will help you from where youre at. If youre nervous about training, you wont be once you go there. Students are friendly and helpful- you wont have to deal with egos. Youre going to get solid Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts training, youll have fun, get in shape, and your life will change. You wont regret it!

(Ive studied martial arts for over 42 years, I have a black belt in 4 styles and a brown belt in Brazilian JiuJitsu.) I have been fortunate to be able to practice at Renzo Gracie NY and with the Machados on the west coast as well as several in between.I can say that Master Andy is one of my favorite training partners, who has helped me work on and taught me a great deal. His JiuJitsu and martial arts is only second to his caring and teaching ability.Sifu Robert Brown

I dont think I could possibly rave more about Ann Arbor MMA, Master Andy, and all the coaches there! Ive attended both the Womens only fitness class and the kickboxing class. As someone who finds exercise a chore, I can say that I truly look forward to the nights I go to class. After years of searching for a fitness program where I have fun, dont feel judged or self-conscious, and feel like the time I spend is worth it, I finally found it.Ive worn a heart rate monitor (Polar) several times to class and have consistently burned more than 450 calories (occasionally getting up to 600+) in the 50 minute class. Im energized afterward, covered in sweat, and the good kind of sore. The womens class consists of kickboxing (bag and partner work), circuit training, conditioning, and strength training (primarily TRX). This is NOT a typical cardio kickboxing class where someone has taken a Zumba class and added some punches and kicks. We work on technique, speed, and strength in the combinations.Master Andy has been flexible both in class (altering exercises/circuits based on ability) and in scheduling (several of the women were unable to make the MW womens class due to work/family commitments so he has temporarily opened up a TTh class). He has always had a positive attitude and just naturally knows how to encourage and push people to get more out of themselves. As a teacher myself - I very much respect his natural teaching abilities.If you twisted my arm and made me say something that Ann Arbor MMA could improve on - I would want them to offer more womens only classes (particularly Friday and Saturday). But Ann Arbor MMA has way more to offer than just the womens only classes and they have to have time, too.I know there is a 30 day free trial that includes a one-on-one session with Coach Ethan. Its well worth it! Dont be surprised if you get hooked.
