North county MMA located in Escondido is an excellent spot to take your child. Coach Kurt and Johhny are well rounded and have the toolset and knowledge to teach. This is a great place for kids to train in MMA/Jiu Jitsu. It has built confidence, boosted selfesteem and taught them how to overcome adversity. As a parent I'm so proud and thankful for a place like this. Awesome job Coaches.

PTs with Coach Derek always kick my ass... super stoked to start training in the group classes as well. Everyone's humble and hard working, and the monthly gym fee is super affordable too 💯

Absolutely enjoy training BBJ here & would recommend for any level. As an old white belt and have trained at many gyms so I have seen a little of everything I think. At NCMMA the staff has always been very welcoming and since I started going there have been a lot of updates, it’s been amazing to see. What I also like about the facility is it’s size relative to the others in area. It’s huge & central in the city. Professor Marcos classes are always really engaging and I’m always thinking what a great dynamic & cool drill this is. Definitely grateful here. As far as the other people in the class I’ve never had a bad experience & enjoy rolling with everyone. Definitely stop in and check them out.

Awesome boxing gym, has both fitness focus bigger group and fighter focus smaller group classes. I really enjoy Tuesday and Thursday evening classes with Coach Anthony, he’s a great coach with many years of experience and patience with new boxers.
