Tried Muay Thai here for the first time in my life. Instant addiction. Incredible instruction, other students and Sensei Mike all were so welcoming. I had such a great time, my 6 year old daughter decided she wanted to try it too. Now she's doing the kids classes. Can't recommend this place highly enough. So glad it's in Eagle Rock.

I’ve been training here with my two sons for a few months now and I can honestly say this gym has become one of my favorite places to be. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have experience, the BJJ and Muay Thai classes are structured in a way that pushes you while also making you feel welcome and supported. Mike knows his stuff—he breaks things down clearly, gives you individual attention, and still manages to keep the energy high. Muay Thai classes are intense and technical but fun, and the BJJ sessions are detailed and challenging without being overwhelming. You’ll sweat, you’ll learn, and you’ll level up. The community here is solid too—everyone trains hard but stays respectful. No egos, just good vibes, good people, and good work. If you’re looking for a place to get in shape, build real skills, and surround yourself with motivated individuals, this is it. Highly recommend.

Both my children started clases at APEX MMA Gym approximately 6 weeks ago. The classes they have taken at APEX have made an immense impact and improvement in their mental clarity, energy and attitude (both are teenagers and that’s not easy to do!). Mike is an extraordinary instructor who focuses on expanding his students strengths, overcoming their vulnerabilities and teaching them tenacity and perseverance. The difference I have witnessed in my children since their start at APEX is significant and for that, I have profound gratitude and appreciation for Mike’s teaching methods, his heart and dedication of cultivating personal development in all of his students! Eternally indebted!

Friendly, non-toxic culture, clean facility... ApexMMA is a welcoming place for all skill levels and ages. Coach Mike is a coach's coach -- he keeps a rigorous pace, but is mindful of burnout; super technical and a true teacher. Highly recommend if you're in the area

I’m 47, and Apex MMA is my first martial arts gym. Sensei Mike goes beyond teaching physical strength—he shares the purpose behind being strong. He understands where I’m at and keeps me progressing at my own pace. I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate martial arts until my very first lesson.
