Have dropped in to train at this gym several times now. Fantastic place to train. Good training partners and incredibly skilled upper belts. Probably some of the best bjj instruction in the twin cities.
When my family moved to Minnesota, M-Theory was the first gym we visited—and we instantly knew it was the right one. Coach Ishmael has built an incredible culture where people from all backgrounds can grow, and it’s the only gym I’ve seen with so many upper-belt women on the mats. I feel completely confident having my wife and kids train here. We drive across the Twin Cities to get to M-Theory, and it’s worth every mile.
I travel to Minneapolis for work, and had the best experience dropping in at this gym. I’d tried one other in the area first, who actually recommended me here for the best bjj training in the city—and they were right! Everyone was super welcoming and kind, the facility is gorgeous and clean, and there were tons of other women there! But the instruction and the rolls were the real showstoppers. They are a super technical, talented bunch, and the upper belts are generous with their time and knowledge. It was a real treat to be able to train there while visiting. Thank you for having me! I’ll definitely be back again!
M-Theory Martial Arts was a breath of fresh air. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and the genuine sense of community. Everyone—from beginners to black belts—welcomes you like family and pushes you to grow, learn, and have fun along the way. It’s more than just a place to train jiu jitsu; it’s a space where people build each other up, share knowledge, and leave the mats better than they came. If you’ve been looking for a place that’s both technical and welcoming, M-Theory is it. 🥋🔥
Top notch gym and just overall legendary humans at M-theory martial arts. I was in town visiting for a family event and was looking to keep up on my training and found M-theory close to my hotel. I just gotta say that Blake and everyone at M-theory martial arts made me feel right at home and were extremely welcoming. Fantastic facility, clean mats and locker rooms, and just an all around welcoming environment to train jiu jitsu. I was able to attend an adult all levels Gi class and professor Blake’s instruction made it very easy to learn the techniques and implement during training. Blake was also gracious enough to let me stick around and get some rolls in after the class. I just gotta say they have some talented Jiu jitsu practitioners in this gym and everyone made me feel welcome and safe. The next time I’m in town I look forward to dropping in again and training with M-theory martial arts. If you live in the area drop by and check them out, you will not be disappointed, looks like they also have a fantastic kids program as well! Many thanks to everyone at M-theory martial arts for welcoming me into your gym. - Nick from AZ.
