I dropped in,as a visiting black belt, while preparing for an MMA fight , and North Star MMA exceeded my expectations. The coaching is sharp, technical, and welcoming, and the room is full of skilled training partners who push the pace without ego. Great atmosphere, great rounds, and a gym that clearly knows how to develop real fighters. I’ve visited several times, to both the old and new facility, and would highly suggest NSMMA to anyone within driving distance.

I tried a Muay Thai class for the first time a week ago and had a great time. The environment wasn’t intimidating at all for a beginner, and I learned a lot just on day one.

North Star was where I began Muay Thai and I could not have asked for a better spot to start my MMA experience. Coach Jackson and the other instructors were always very friendly and super helpful as I struggled through my first couple of months training. I stayed at the gym for about a year and enjoyed meeting a ton of really cool people and having a workout to look forward to every week. Unfortunately I moved and was too far away to continue my membership. If I ever find myself living in the area again, I will definitely rejoin. I would recommend North Star for anyone interested in MMA, whether you are experienced or looking to start like myself.
