I’ve been training here for 2 years, and originally was at Gracie Barra. The attention that the professors give you here is unmatched and the people I’ve met here have been really amazing. Gabe, the owner and professor, will make sure that you’re given the time and energy you need to reach your goals. I definitely haven’t found that anywhere else and would highly recommend training at Kaiju!!

Be ready to work, it's hard but it's worth it. Making the choice to start training here a couple of years ago was one of the better decisions in my life. The coaches are excellent and really care about working with you to progress in the sport while making it feel like you are part of a family. Show up, do your best, and you'll get out of it what you put in.

I have tried some Muay Thai, MMA, and BJJ classes here. Great place to train. Classes are informative, and you get an amazing workout. The people are friendly and welcoming. All the coaches are experienced and helpful. Professor Gabe brings a depth of professional knowledge that is amazing. Highly recommended.

I’m 47 years old and was very intimidated to start BJJ at this age. I’ve been training at Kaiju for over a year now and it’s changed my life in so many great ways. I’m fit, confident, and my mental health is fantastic. I’ve made many friends here and would highly recommend Kaiju for your BJJ journey. The owner and Professor, Gabe is tough but a very kind man with a big heart. Come join the family :)

I've been coming to Kaiju MMA for over a year now and I can't say enough good things about it. I started here because it was one of the few gyms that had early morning classes that fit my schedule. I take the jiujitsu classes, but have recently started kickboxing. It can be intimidating starting a martial arts, but it never felt that way here. Professor Gabe is a fantanstic mentor and really takes his time teaching you. Couch Kenny is very skilled, encouraging and runs a great kickboxing class. New or experienced, you're going to enjoy yourself!

When I first stepped into Kaiju I was nervous because I had no prior experience in an MMA gym before and a couple other spots I visited felt a little intimidating and cold. Here, I immediately felt welcomed like family by the professor teaching jiu jitsu class and was invited to try a class. After one session I was hooked. Professor Gabe is a great guy and pushes you to become a better person emotionally, physically, and mentally. I can’t recommend this gym enough.

As the second oldest student at the gym, my days are limited and training at a supportive and family oriented gym is important. Professor Gabe always goes the extra mile to train all his students (including old ass folks) with unlimited enthusiasm, superb skill, and extreme patience. You can ask Gabe a question(s) about a particular technique and he will politely respond with an answer, and later thank you for it. The other instructors are also very knowledgeable, and generous with their time. Gabe encourages his students to push their limits, and strive for the next level. In fact, I'm currently in the developmental stages on inventing a new highly technical move, and maybe someday naming it after yours truly.

Kaiju MMA & Fitness is a respected local gym known for its strong community and excellent Google reviews. Our reputation is built on real results, consistent coaching, and long-term development.
