The MMA LAB is the real deal for Jitsu and MMA. My son trained here for a couple of years, and the experience was exactly what we were looking for—intense and thorough. The Lab is headed by Coach John Crouch & Champ Benson Henderson. There’s UFC legends O,Malley, J. Cannonier and others, says it all. Not a place for the overprotective parent. BUT if you want your child to learn real skills and compete, The MMA LAB is the place for you, LAB STRONG! 🫡Thx John, Ben and Jared for the mentorship🫶
I was in town visiting from Indonesia and had to check out this gym. 10/10 would recommend. The owner Ben was very welcoming and I felt at home. I did a trial Adult Beginner BJJ class and it was great. The coach/Black Belt Keith catered to all levels (Beginners up to Brown Belts). Very well structured class with a good amount of technique and rolling. Would recommend this gym/school to anyone interested in working out, training or want to just be around a positive group of people.
We're from Washington State and we're in town for a visit. It was our son's first time attending classes at the gym and they were most welcoming! They made our son's experience, one he'll never forget. I'll definitely be taking him back to the MMA Lab, everytime we're back in town. UPDATE: We were able to go back to the gym two more times during our week stay and both times were equally as amazing as the first for our son. I'm so glad that it all worked out for multiple visits during the week that we were in town and each time they went out of their way to make sure that we felt welcome.
