I started learning BJJ here with the lunch time class. Since day one I was treated like family and have enjoyed every second here. I would recommend to anyone looking for a gym to either start or continue learning.

I started training BJJ at 44 y.o. My son and I love this gym! The training is world-class and the people I train with along with the gym owners and staff are now FAMILY!! I have grown not only in my Jiu Jitsu game but as a person. 10/10

My son has been training with this program for the last year and loves it! The instructors are friendly and care for the kids as well as providing individual instruction. This is a safe environment for kids to learn respect, become more disciplined and of course learn various martial arts. My husband and I are so grateful for Yamane’s encouragement and training. Kids very much thrive here.

I sent my daughter,Virginia Mcghee, here and she has learned so much just yesterday she defeated her bully(her little brother).Thank you to this dojo. Sorry for my daughter she is a little delusional.🤍

Yamane is a great instructor who holds many of his own medals and trophies for his disciplines. He is very thorough and knowledgeable.The atmosphere among the instructors and students/training partners is very good. There is a strong work ethic amongst everyone here.There is a plethora of things to do here to include: Brazilian Jiujitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, General Fitness, etc.The training is top notch, as can be seen from the many state championships won by this school.If you have your doubts, just try them out!

Excellent rolls. World class instructors. If I lived in Fairhope this would be school!

Ive been training here on and off for the past four years. The facility, instructors, members, philosophy and competition are outstanding. I learn something new every day. If you want to improve your overall strength and fitness, this is the place for you. If you want to train to compete on a state, national or world championship level...this is still the place for you!! I cant say enough about Mr. Yamane, his staff or the people that train here!!

I have been training at Yamane MMA for about eight months, and LOVE it. The first thing you see entering the gym is a NO-BULLYING sign on the door, and this really sets the tone of the group at this gym. Professor Yamane does a great job ensuring that everyone in the gym feels welcome regardless of age, weight, skill set, or gender. Not only do I feel like I am training at the best gym in the area, but I am also building relationships that will last a lifetime.

My family and I have been a part of the Yamane Family for a year and a half now. My son was the first to join and I was immediately drawn in by the phenomenal kids program. Yamane Championship MMA are true professionals and second to none . Eventually my wife, daughter, and I joined and have been thoroughly satisfied. You wont find a better qualified gym on the Eastern Shore. The attention to detail, cleanliness and positive environment are inviting to everyone, not to mention, the coaches and staff are of the highest caliber. If youre looking for a great atmosphere that provides a fun, hard, yet rewarding set of programs, come join the Yamane Team.

What a great gym! The level of instruction and feeling of camaraderie are incredible. I’ve been training here for a few years and this is truly home!

My boys have been training here for 2 years and have enjoyed it immensely. They have gained confidence, learned new skills, and made many new friends. The program itself is truly one of a kind (at least for this area). My boys have competed in National Championships and placed. I would highly recommend this gym.

This is a great place! Ive been here for around 4 years and Ive learned so much! Really cheap compared to other gyms and everyone is super nice. We have a great instructor and everyone truly becomes family in a matter of minutes of walking in the building

This the best gym by far in the area. It is very clean and top notch instruction. Everyone is real nice and is like one big family. One of the best things in our area and for our Comunity

I started at this gym a couple of months after they opened and never looked back. Ive trained at several other gyms before yamane and they dont even compare. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The guys I train with are like family, we are all their because we love our respective arts and help each other to become better. My two sons are in their kids program and love it. They are on their way to becoming skilled Bjj artist thank to Niall and everyone else at our gym.

Best BJJ Gym in the area. Very family oriented place, excellent training. Best training you will get, outstanding instruction, good training partners, always clean and everyone is like family. I would recommended to any one and any age or the entire family.

Ive been training BJJ and wrestling at YCMMA for about 4 and a half years now and I can highly recommend the gym to everyone. When I started the gym in middle school, I was a chubby kid who had no self confidence. Today, I walk my high school with a new confidence and have become lean and fit. Not to mention the amazing instruction by all coaches, and that feeling of accomplishment winning medals for your team. Yamane is a place for anyone, any age, and joining the gym changed my life for the better.

Ive been going to Yamane MMA for 2 years now and I have great experience so far, everyone is nice and respectful. Im not really a gym type of person, I rather stay at home and play gamesome but they make the workout fun and enjoyable. Its worth the money plus I got my lazy butt in shape.

The entire staff is amazing, committed and eager to help everyone become better at everything they set forth to become.

I have been training here for 3.5 years. Positive environment. Good instruction. Good teammates.

Great place to get conditioned and learn Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Kick-Boxing, Muay Thai, or just work-out. I got a six-pack from working out and training here and I think its a fun place so it really is a win-win at the end of the day for you at Yamane Championship MMA.

Training at Yamane MMA began as a New Years resolution 2014. I was over weight, out of shape, and my daily choices were far less than desired. One year later I have lost 30 pounds, Im in great physical condition, and my living and eating habits have improved dramatically. I know for certain that my health, attitude, and lifestyle is 100% better due to my training at Yamane MMA. When I began my membership I really didnt know what to expect. After a full year, my opinion is that I couldnt be more pleased. The training is challenging, enjoyable, I always look forward to it, and feel a great sense of accomplishment after every session. The staff at Yamane MMA is very knowledgeable, professional, and takes training to another level. As said, I could not be more pleased, and I highly recommend it to anyone that wants to improve their health, get in shape, learn martial arts, and have fun doing it.

If you love martial arts then Yamane MMA is the best place to train not only for competition and to get in the best physical shape but the people there are amazing and accepting of everyone. My personal experience is I went from having a dream in BJJ and MMA to living that dream if is wasnt for Yamane it would still be a dream but now it is a reality, Im living my dream winning in tournaments with the training and support I have received with a wonderful surprise bonus that everyone there have become my closest friends

Im 70 years old and started training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2005, not to compete, but to stay in good shape as I got older. I moved to Daphne several years ago and found YCMMA. Having trained at different places over the years, I can say that YCMMA is the best of all of them. The gym is the cleanest, the schedules are great and Professor Nialls instruction is the most precise and detailed of any other place Ive trained. Ive made many new friends here and all the students, from the kids to the adults, are great!

A wonderful place to train with great environment, facilities, excellent trainers and family atmosphere. Out of the other MMA gyms Ive been to its the most appropriate for not only seasoned athletes but also the most accomodating for beginners with no experience. I train Muay Thai and BJJ under Coach Nial and he not only keeps it challenging enough for whatever your current level is but also very rewarding and fun. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in learning Martial Arts or just getting in the best shape of your life.

Great atmosphere! Great instructors!

Absolutely amazing!!!!! ;)
