Founded in 2008, Brooklyn MMA was built to be the borough’s top martial arts academy. Head Coach Terry Gold has trained countless homegrown champions and brought in legends like Nick & Nate Diaz, Jake Shields, Chris Weidman, and Kyra Gracie to share their knowledge on our mats. We compete in top organizations like Bellator, CFFC, and Ring of Combat—but our heart lies in developing students from the ground up, especially kids. From Kids Fitness to Jr. Warriors to Teen MMA, we guide students through every stage of growth. Our women’s kickboxing program has empowered members since day one—no experience needed, just the drive to start. You don’t need to be great to start… but you need to start to be great.

Hi, when I took a class here the staff was fabulous and very friendly. The gym was clean and everything was very nice. The bathroom was also pleasant for use, which usually cannot be said. The prices were extremely fair and the front desk young lady was also very sweet. Overall had an amazing atmosphere and nice people. The workout was also very fun. Can’t wait for my next class!
