They taught me how to arm bar. 10 stars !!! But seriously amazing gym! The coaches are thorough and care about your progression, as does every other person in the gym. People are always willing to come in and work and help you to understand techniques or get competition ready. More so, your teammates and drilling partners become your friends and the gym always shows up, even if they aren’t on a card or competition (and it is not required)! Aside from martial arts, the gym is available 24/7 for workouts - you can use the mats or the weights. The gym has all the weight machines you could need so you can eliminate a regular gym membership, which is great ^_^. You really could not pay me to go anywhere else :)

Barnyard MMA has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment you step through the doors, you’re welcomed into a community that genuinely cares about your growth and success. The coaching staff is top-notch—each instructor brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to the mat, making classes both challenging and rewarding. Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned athlete, there’s something for everyone here. What I love most is the diversity of programs they offer. Their youth programs are fantastic, teaching kids not just martial arts techniques but also discipline, respect, and confidence. The adult classes are equally impressive, offering a perfect balance of technique, fitness, and mental toughness. Barnyard MMA also goes above and beyond in catering to specific groups like military personnel, law enforcement officers, and women interested in self-defense. The support and camaraderie within these specialized programs are incredible—there’s a real sense of community and mutual respect that permeates the entire gym. If you're looking for a place to train, get fit, and be part of a supportive and motivated community, Barnyard MMA is the place to be. Highly recommended!
