This place is the truth! Extremely knowledgeable coaches, welcoming facility and a wide variety of skill levels. As a starter in my late 30s, I was looking for a smaller gym with high quality coaches and mid day groups. I found both and more. I’m a locked in fan for life. If you’re looking for an amazing place to start your BJJ journey, TDCMMA is the place!

I love this team and academy. When I started training I knew that this team was special and have been a part of this beautiful family for the last ten years. I thoroughly enjoy all the time I spend on these mats.

I recently had an awesome experience at TDC-MMA! My brother and I took advantage of one of their free classes, and it was seriously worth it. The instructors were super knowledgeable and made learning a lot of fun. Even in just one session, we picked up some great techniques and got a feel for what MMA is all about. It's definitely worth checking out if you're thinking about getting into martial arts or just want a great workout. Highly recommend giving TDC-MMA a try!
