I’ve been attending class at York MMA for almost a year now and enjoy every minute of it. At first I was a little nervous about my skill level in comparison to others and wondering if I was going to be able to do this at all but it was nothing to be concerned about. If you are new to the sport with no experience or very little they will ease you into it and work at your comfort level. This is a great workout for all genders and ages.

I've been training at York MMA on and off for well over a decade and I can say without a doubt if you live in or around that area and want the very best Mixed Martial Arts training, this is the place to seek out. Classes are safe, well supervised, very beginner friendly and highly productive. Oh and let's not leave out fun, you work hard and break a sweat for sure but you also have a lot of fun doing it. Coach George is both knowledgeable and patient with all his students. He's super encouraging with beginners but at the same time doesn't baby anyone and pushes people to be the best they can be in order to achieve their goals. I could go on and on about York MMA, that's how GOOD this place is. If you're thinking about doing MMA or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, either for yourself or for your child, check them out. You'll be glad you did trust me.

The owner George is extremely welcoming and knowledgeable and does great in revealing individual potential. It’s always nice to be humbled and even better when the environment is respectful and only wants to aid in self progression in the teachings. Awesome experience and had a great time, not just learning more about the arts, but getting some solid exercise out of it! Would definitely recommend the York MMA Academy to any and everyone!

Coach George is a great instructor!! He is patient, knowledgeable, promotes a family atmosphere, and has helped countless students (including myself) with their training, fitness goals, and personal growth. I highly recommend Coach George and the rest of the team at the York MMA Academy.

I've not actually trained at York MMA, however i have been to a few seminars that Coach George has done at other locations. Coach George does very detailed instruction making it possible for even the newest people to understand. He is also very patient waiting for everyone to have an understanding before moving on. While drilling with Coach George, he gives advice and feedback on what was done well and what and how to improve. If I am ever in the area of York MMA I would certainly drop in.

Coach George was kind enough to let me drop in for a class (I'm not from PA) and it was incredible! His instruction was clear and the appropriately nuanced for the different belt-levels participating that day. The training partners I worked with were all gracious and helpful, and the overall culture of this academy was positive and supportive. As a relatively new BJJ student, I could not have asked for a better out-of-town experience. York, PA has a gem in this school.

This was the first gym I started training at in June 2022. Every coach was super knowledgeable and made classes fun and techniques easy to digest. Everyone else that trains there was also helpful and great partners to roll with. I fell in love with the art of bjj here and if it wasn’t for a large distance move I’d still be at this gym. If you’re looking for a new place to train or just starting out this is the place to be!

This gym offers practical and high level teachings along with a very friendly and inviting atmosphere. The students are all so helpful and uplifting and the coaches are great teachers and clearly experts in what they’re talking about. Haven’t had a bad experience here.
