Port City MMA and Fitness

Port City MMA and Fitness stands out with its fantastic coaches and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're a beginner or advanced, you'll find expert guidance and a supportive community. The coaches are patient and knowledgeable, ensuring everyone progresses. With diverse classes and a positive environment, it's a top choice for anyone looking to train in MMA. Highly recommended!

I’m newer to the gym, but I can tell you this; the incredibly friendly and kind atmosphere of the gym (and everyone in it) had me sold on the spot. Every single person I have bumped into has been kind and welcoming, the instructors are all knowledgeable not only in their specialties but also in their ability to teach to each athlete in the way that they best learn. The gym is clean, spacious, and filled to the brim with great coaches and athletes.

Numbers don't lie. There are nearly a dozen "combat" gyms in Wilmington. But the most popular -- by an order of magnitude -- is Port City MMA and Fitness. We are the gym where anyone interested in really learning the sport will end up. Full stop. And that's for a few reasons: First, John Salter, former professional MMA fighter (Bellator, UFC), national wrestling champ in college (NAIA), and jujitsu blackbelt (winner of ADCC West Coast trials, the equivalent of qualifying for the Olympics), is as elite a teacher as they come. Second, John is a great human being -- and that shapes the culture of the gym. People become life-long friends, hang out outside of class, and look-out for their partners during training. Anyone with any combat gym experience can tell you how RARE this is. Port City MMA is in a league of it's own.

Incredible atmosphere for everyone from beginner to professional level! I've spent a lot of time traveling the world and visiting different gyms, and this is by far the best gym I've been to! John and Joe are both incredibly talented martial artists, and very exceptional coaches. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the Wilmington area that wants to learn how to protect themselves, get into better physical and mental shape, and/or further their career in martial arts!

Outstanding MMA gym. Warm and safe environment for my kids, wife, and I. Family atmosphere primarily due (IMO) to the owner's mentality. Can't recommend this gym enough as it is hard to find gyms these days where the owner's are not super into themselves, or just trying to turn a profit. Jimmy's operation is highly recommended!
