Midwest Martial Arts Academy

I stopped in to the gym while visiting family in South Dakota and was pleasantly surprised! The head instructor is a very down to earth individual with a wealth of knowledge. The gym itself is very clean and the community is very friendly and welcoming. I will gladly return to this location in the future.

I have been going to this gym for a little more than a year. Whether it’s BJJ or Muay Thai, the instruction is top-notch but never intimidating — they create an environment where beginners feel comfortable and experienced practitioners can still push themselves. The vibe is light and positive, and everyone is respectful and supportive. Highly recommend for anyone looking to train, get fitter, or just be part of a great community!

Midwest martial arts is a top tier gym with a great culture and full of good people. Everyone is very welcoming, the Jiu Jitsu and Muy Thai are legit, and the main instructor is a really good dude. If you are new to martial arts or just passing through, definitely stop in for a roll

Was super new when I started, with zero wrestling, zero Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and a little bit of kickboxing but a true blue beginner. I felt immediately welcomed by the staff and the people inside the gym. One of the best atmospheres you can find, dedicated coaching from the coach, with focus on group work and individual help. The environment is super conducive for whatever you're trying to gain out of it, be that exercise, competition, self-defense, or even just meeting new people. Absolutely the best place I've been to, tried a couple of other different spots, and nothing compared. Customer for as long as I'm in Sioux Falls for sure, hopefully, years to come.

Great training! Good people here and it’s always a fun time when we can come to Sioux Falls to train!
