Started last month and see why people love it. 47 years old and out of shape is an understatement. Feel like this is something more than a workout and given me drive to get back into shape. The staff and people are awesome to be around. Friendly and couldn’t ask for more especially with someone who walks in with no knowledge. Made so many new friends with many different people of different backgrounds. The one common goal is learning more about BJJ. Love this gym, staff, and teammates. More...

Walking into MMAI with my son 2 years ago was a life-changing moment. Great people, great coaches, great workouts, great kids program. What you don't expect is the awesome folks you meet. What you do expect is the awesome training you get. Can't say enough good things. Just walk in one day. See what happens. More...

Outstanding gym. Something for the professional mixed-martial artist, the casual competitor, for those who have kids interested in learning the marital arts, and everything in between.

MMAI is a family. The training I received was absolutely amazing. Although I've moved, I miss this family tremendously.

I've been training here since 2012. Getting involved in something I didn't realize I was so passionate about really changed something in me.

I have trained here for nearly 4 years and absolutely love it. All of the instructors are top notch and the atmosphere feels more like a family versus just a gym. I’ve gotten a better workout and more skills that you can’t put a price tag on than at any other gym. More...

Great coaches! World class. Produced fighters that made to UFC and won ultimate Fighters. Equipments are high end. Their focus is not just training fighters, they have group sessions with the primary focus of work out and self defense combined this way students get more out of their time. Strongly recommended.

Rick McCoy is by far one of the best MMA instructors on the East Coast and by far the best in Richmond. You want to learn from the best, come to this school. He had taught me so much and I have lost so much weigh from his classes! More...

This has been the most fun I have ever had working out. I was a little hesitant to try MMA as a workout option. Now fast forward 6 months and I am in the best shape of my life and actually look forward to going to my workouts. Not only are the staff and coaches great, the atmosphere and the helpful attitude of the students is such a refreshing change from past ""gym experiences. No matter what your goals, you should try MMA Institute in Richmond if you want a supportive group to help with your fitness and martial arts goals. Can't recommend it enough! More...

I came to MMA Institute looking for a new workout experience. Weight lifting and running weren't keeping me entertained. I started training two months ago at MMA Institute and participate in a Muay Thai & Kickboxing classes as well as a couple different cardio and conditioning classes. They've also introduced me to kettlebells which i have fallen in love with. I definitely recommend MMA Institute to anyone looking for a new workout experience. Friendly and informative staff and instructors, and a wonderful atmosphere! More...

I attended MMA Institute for a year prior to moving. I have since visited many gyms across the country, and I still compete. There are a lot gyms out there where you will only find sparring partners. Â However, MMAI is an actual school, with quality instructors and students, where you will build a good foundation in every discipline. One criticism is that the gym needs more mat space. More...

I only have one regret and that is not joining sooner! This place has an amazing staff of dedicated, friendly, and talented martial artist and fitness experts. They even have a nutritionist on staff to help with weight loss and fighters diets. I am just an average guy that enjoys the training for fitness, but it is so cool to train next to some of the best pro fighters in the state and in the country. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I have tried several other schools in the area and like I said my only regret is not joining the family at MMA Institute sooner! Everyone joins martial arts schools for different reasons but if you truly want to train with the best you should give them a try. More...

I have so much fun working out at MMA institute in Richmond va. Mixed Martial Arts is such a fun workout and I actually look forward to working out. They have so many options every night I can pick and choose from Kickboxing, boxing, grappling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA to much much more and their fitness and conditioning class are so much better than a cross fit workout. If you are looking for a fun and exciting workout that will keep you coming back you should definitely try out MMA Institute. More...

After trying out a couple of different gyms that advertise Mixed martial arts, it was a easy choice to join MMA Institute. My only advice to anyone looking for a new gym is to make sure you try MMA Institute before joining any other gym. You will definitely see a difference! More...

I tried out almost every martial art school in the richmond area that taught grappling or Mixed martial arts. At almost every school, I could submit or atleast control the instructors. This always left me feeling like I was paying for something I already had.Then I found the MMA Institute. I have improved more in the last three months than I did in the previous year.Not only is it great instruction, but they make you feel like your part of the family. I look forward to every class I attend. I can't think of a better way to stay in shape,plus learn a ton and have fun while I'm doing it. More...
