Ryan Patterson Published on Google 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been training with NP MMA for about 4 months. I am 46 years old, have very little prior martial arts experience, and my level of fitness could definitely be better. From my very first training session I have always been made feel welcome, wanted, understood and safe at NP MMA. The coaches are all extraordinary. Their level of proficiency is remarkable, and their ability to coach is outstanding. The coaches push you to push yourself, I feel I achieve progress from every session. Training with NP MMA has benefitted my fitness, my mental health, my martial arts skills and my friendships. If you have even the slightest interest in checking out the gym, having a go, or training in any of the classes, I strongly encourage you to come in and try out a class. At the very least, you'll meet some cool people, and potentially it could be an incredibly positive life changing step. Do it. See you on the mat. Ryan.

Jenna Brown Published on Google 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: My 12 year old daughter has joined the kids Jiu Jitsu class at NPMMA and I am super impressed about the professionalism and inclusivity of all kids, even the newbies with no experience. Rhys is great with the kids and really makes them feel comfortable and confident to try new things. The gym is clean and tidy and a really inviting place to be. The wonderful owner, Jesse, even stops for a chat and offers a coffee while you wait for your kids to train, how cool is that!
