I love this place. The instructor and other instructors are incredible and very patient with all children, adults, and young adults, personalities. He is very effective with each of his students. And his wife who helps him manage the studio is always willing to help in any way. My grandson has been attending Chandler MMA for 5 years.

I was nervous to join my first MMA gym, especially when I saw how talented the athletes were, I felt super discouraged but I forced myself to go to my first class and instantly fell in love with it, I told the front desk lady how I was nervous and she told me how everyone was super relaxed and it was a judge free gym and everyone was here to help, and she couldn’t have been more right, I was training with 4-5 guys with serious accolades (+ the other trainees are super talented and helpful as well) and never once did I feel judged they just HELPED me, my improvements in just one Muay Thai class were ridiculous. If you are looking for a gym and you are at the top of your game this is your gym. if you are a beginner like me guess what? This is also your gym. I’m a big fan.

This gym is ran by a hard working, amazing family. My son has been going here for a year now and absolutely loves it. Master McGowans high energy and ability to make the kids laugh keep them engaged and wanting to come back.

Chandler MMA has set an amazingly high bar for what a martial arts school should be. After practicing here for years I can say that Chandler MMA is one of the most well-rounded martial arts schools Ive seen. Whether you practice for fitness, self-defense, competition or just for fun; whether you prefer striking or grappling; and whether youre old or young, theres something for any martial artist here. Most of all, Paul McGowan really knows how to create a great community with a really positive gym culture that you dont always see. Ive spent over 5 years here and I wouldnt have it any other way.

Both of my children have been taking classes at Chandler MMA for the last 4 years. Signing them up for classes here was one of the best decisions I ever made as a parent! My kids have learned so much at Chandler MMA. In addition to martial arts, they have learned about stranger danger, anti-bullying, discipline, respect (for others and self), self-esteem, self-defense and so much more. Plus, its great exercise in a fun environment. Most importantly, the instructors truly care! I am so grateful for Chandler MMA!

Great place. Master McGowan and his staff are great with children. They teach you how to be not only better martial artists but also better citizens. They offer classes on anti-bullying but also how children can protect themselves from strangers.

My 5 yr old daughter and 8 year son old both take classes here, and they love it! My wife, teenage daughter, and myself plan to start taking classes too soon. If you have 3 family members paying, there is no additional tuition required for others. Also you can go to as many classes per week as you want. Master McGowan does suggest kids take at least 2 per week. The schedule is varied, so hopefully you can find times that fit your schedule. I uploaded a photo with the current schedule for reference.All the instructors are awesome, Master Leon is a locally recognized MMA competitor. Master McGowan is great with the kids, motivating the young and older alike.This is not a belt factory either, if Master McGowan doesnt feel the kids are ready then they wont move up at the last Thursday of the month testing day (no regular classes that day).Highly recommended!

Master McGowan and his staff are nothing short of amazing! They are always patient and professional, which is pricelsss when they are dealing with so many children with different attention spans. They work on teaching life lessons coupled with fun! They help strengthen some of my basic family values; be patient, listen, and always be respectful! My son loves going to Chandler MMA! Thank you, J-

My husband, son and I all take classes at Chandler MMA. We love getting fit while learning martial arts. The instructors are all fantastic - they teach discipline and kindness, and challenge you to do more than you realize you can. They care enough to really get to know each child, understand how they tick, and motivate them in their own style. Master McGowan and Mrs McGowan have truly created a community at Chandler MMA, and we feel lucky to be a part of it.

I am blown away by the teaching and relationships at Chandler MMA. They are able to connect with all types of personalities and motivate them from the inside to be better at whatever they do in life. They have taught both of my children for years (who are two very different personalities) to focus, to be disciplined, and to protect themselves. They balance fun with focus while teaching healthy habits. All of the teachers are exceptional at connecting with their students. Ive noticed many students go on to be teachers and leaders. I recently took a Womens Self Defense course with 45 other women and learned more in 2 hours than I have learned my whole life on this topic. I felt empowered and prepared for any situation on the ground, standing up, with or without weapons. I would highly recommend to any family in the community to at least check it out for Adult Training, Workouts, Self-Defense, or Kids Health and Defense. THEY OFFER 1 WEEK FREE, so check it out!

Gifting my 15 yr old grandson with a Chandler MMA membership was a REALLY smart decision. He is thriving in this environment and owner Master McGowan and his quality staff serve as inspirational role models.

I had been pushing weights around for the past 20 years and was looking for something different and more interesting than doing the same old workout at the gym and man did I find it here! I thought I was in pretty good shape but man was I wrong. I cant tell you enough how great EVERY instructor is here and how each class is different than the last. My favorite thing about working out here is that I am getting in the best shape of my life and at the same time learning a martial art. It has been 2 years already and I am hoping to get my brown belt by the end of this month in Muay Thai. I consider the people at Chandler MMA to be great friends. Stop looking around and go in and see Master McGowan, he will let you try it for a week for free! Trust me on this one it is truly awesome, I actually look forward to working out :)

Terribly rude judo instructor. Revved his engine and honked horn when parked in front of store while we were looking up navigation directions. Then he proceeded to illegally park in the handicapped spot, glaring at us while leaving. No longer interest in going to this place if the staff is willing to act in such a manner.

CMMA is an excellent school! Both my son and daughter have been taking classes for several years. The instructors are great and know how to motivate the students to try their best, and then try a little more! My kids love the challenge of learning TKD and Muay Thai, and I love the increased self-confidence and discipline they have. CMMA is not just for kids. They have many offerings for adults as well; MMA, self-defense, workout, etc. In addition, they also have Karate Camps during the summer and other special events for the all students to explore/learn more about MMA. If you are looking for a great school, this one is it!
