Mackay MMA

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, knowledgeable and dedicated to teaching to the best of their ability. They’re not afraid to go 1 on 1 with newer participants, and they helped me settle in nicely.

Negative experience: This was by far the worst MMA studio I’ve ever stepped into. The place is dirty, the classes are a joke, and the so-called “coaching” is nonexistent. What made it even worse was the owner shaming a family member for what she wore to training instead of focusing on teaching or professionalism. It’s humiliating and completely unacceptable. The environment is toxic, unwelcoming, and run with zero respect for students. If you’re looking for real training, avoid this place at all costs. Save your money and your dignity—this studio is an embarrassment to the sport of MMA. Should be ashamed. It’s about teaching/learning and training. NOT publicly humiliating STUDENTS for what they are wearing. The owners need to address their insecurities, instead of breaking down students confidence.

Negative experience: Was really excited to see what this gym was like, layout of the gym was terrible, owners wife shamed me for what I was wearing then proceeded to slam the door on me when I stood up for myself. Went to the owner of the gym and asked if there was a dress code and told me that men CAN wear no shirts but girls can’t wear shorts in a mma class, then proceeded to tell me I’m not making a very good impression. You can definitely tell the people in this gym cannot fight, if you want to become a real fighter go to IGNITE MMA

Fantastic experience: My son has started in the 3-6 years little jitz classes a little over 2 months ago. The confidence in himself that’s he has now 2 months in is amazing. From not even wanting to do the warm up drills, to being asked to demonstrate them for the new kids. The adults classes are great to, plenty of knowledge that gets shared around and I can not recommend Mackay mma gym enough. Thanks team, you’re great

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to walk through the door at Mackay MMA, but the team were incredibly welcoming and supportive. I love how the club caters for my whole family, my three kids do Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu, and absolutely love it just as much as I do! The coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and great with both kids and adults. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: It is so rewarding to witness our daughter get excited each week to go to her Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) and Thai Kickboxing (Muay Thai) classes. Something we haven’t seen in while Not only is she eager to do it 4 days a week but now her younger brother can’t wait to join. This says a lot about the commitment Danny and the staff at Mackay MMA put into the children. Instilling them with important life lessons, all while having lots of fun what more could any parent ask for. Thank you Danny and the Mackay MMA team. Keep up the great work and we look forward to 2024

Negative experience: Walked in as I’ve just moved here to sign up an check out the gym see what these people where about, got disgusting looks from the fighters an the main trainer I spoke with, asked for prices an didn’t have the time of day to speak with me just gave me a card. I sat down to watch them train an was getting people almost stepping on me to make a point or sum, spoke to the main guy about it all he had to say was sorry, stuck up gym that just think they are better then others. Don’t have the morals of what fighting is about. Little did he know I’ve trained for a few years an would have been very loyal to them. Just very stuck up people.

Fantastic experience: Great place, great people! This was completely new to myself and my kids. I could not have asked for a more positive, welcoming environment. Thanks team

Fantastic experience: This team/sport saved my life. Shout out to Dave and Tony for what they did and the mentorship over the years. Without this team I don’t know where I would have ended up. If you want structure discipline, purpose, and unbelievable coaches Mackay MMA is the way to go.
