From the reviews
Love this place. Trained here for many years with Sensei Jeremy, Ron and Chuck. If you’re looking for less of a sporty 9-5 school and more competition heavy stuff this is your go to. I trust these guys a lot, they are professionals, stand up guys, and trained killers.
Great gym, great place to train! Coaching is excellent and supportive. They provide individual attention to each student to make sure everyone learns properly. AMMA offers a wide range of classes from kids karate, to adult kickboxing,Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and much more. I cannot say enough good things about the staff.
Been coming here for a few months now, best price downriver for jits, karate and kickboxing. Jeremy and Jesse are great instructors.
Great place to get a great workout and have fun while learning very useful technique. Highly Recommend!!
New to BJJ? Start at AMMA Fitness
AMMA Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at AMMA Fitness
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
