We have been going to MMA for several months and have had nothing but great experiences. I love that’s a family business, love the atmosphere and family feel as well as the fact that my kids can take any classes during the week without schedule limitations. My kids love the games that are incorporated with the class and love the system they have to earn belts that’s based on school and home performance. I also love how MMA experienced students can teach classes and kids can grow into coaches. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun and athletic way to get your kids to learn martial arts that is flexible in scheduling and has various classes choices/opportunities!
This family-owned MMA gym focuses heavily on mindset improvement and life lessons, not just physical training. My 7- and 8-year-old feel encouraged, challenged, and supported. The coaches truly care, and it shows. An awesome place for kids to grow both on and off the mats. Highly recommend.
We have been with Chandler MMA for over 3 years. We have had the best experience. Master McGowan and his wife Kara McGowan have been such a blessing to our family. My kids have learned respect, self confidence, focus, responsibility, self defense and so much more. Sign your kid up for a free week. You won't regret it!
My son has been training at Chandler MMA since he was 4 years old, and the experience has been nothing short of outstanding. Under the leadership of Master McGowan, the head coach, he has grown tremendously—not just in his MMA skills, but also in discipline, confidence, and character. Master McGowan has a unique ability to bring out the best in each student, pushing them to improve while always maintaining a supportive and respectful environment. The gym feels like a second home to my son, and I’m so thankful for the dedication and passion the entire team puts into the program. I highly recommend Chandler MMA to any parent looking to give their child a solid foundation in martial arts and in life.
2 years ago, I was looking for a place that my 11 year old son could learn to defend himself, be fit and increase his confidence. Chandler MMA has been an incredible experience for our family. After some blood, sweat and tears…my son is a black belt in Muy Thai and Kenpo. He wants to continue and learn more. Watching the coaches push him past his comfort zone, challenge him, and still support him every step of the way has been amazing. His confidence has skyrocketed—not just in MMA, but in life. And as a parent, there’s a deep peace of mind knowing he has the skills to defend himself if he ever needed to. The coaches here truly care, and it shows in every class. Chandler MMA is the real deal. The classes are top-notch, and the coaching staff is both skilled and genuinely supportive. They push you to be your best, but always with care and respect. Whether you’re starting from scratch or looking to level up, this is the place to train. Couldn’t recommend it more! Thank you Chandler MMA!!
