Dynamix MMA reviews

Rated 4.9/5 across 56 Google reviews.

I trained at Dynamix MMA for 5 classes while I was in the LA area for a week. I took classes with coaches Sean Crenshaw (MMA), Jordan Wright (kickboxing), and Vladimir Matyushenko (wrestling for MMA) and all were incredibly nice and I found the classes to be incredibly helpful to my MMA training. I was very happy and honored to learn from former UFC fighters who I also found to be very approachable. My training partners were also really nice and we all kept each other safe in light sparring (which we did several rounds of for every class I attended) under the watchful eye of the coaches. This allowed me to focus on learning during sparring without having to worry about inadvertently getting injured. I found the classes to be very well thought out, and I found my time there to be very productive. Even though I was just a visitor everyone was very welcoming and the atmosphere was very friendly. The facilities are great as well, their rest
I couldn't be happier with the mixed martial arts classes my 16-year-old has been attending. One of the standout features of this place is the ability to learn a wide range of fighting and martial arts styles all under one roof. From Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Muay Thai and everything in between, the variety of classes offered here is truly impressive. It's been amazing to see my child develop a well-rounded skill set in martial arts while exploring various disciplines. The professionalism of the instructors is top-notch. They not only possess incredible knowledge and experience but also have a genuine passion for what they do. Their dedication and enthusiasm for martial arts are infectious, and it's evident that they truly care about their students' progress. They make sure to create a welcoming and supportive environment where my child feels comfortable to learn and grow. What sets this place apart is the involvement of former UFC profess
Who would’ve known that the best MMA gym in LA would’ve been on the upscale posh neighborhood of West LA on Santa Monica Blvd. Don’t let the nice location fool you, the fighters here are savages (albeit, friendly savages) and know how to fight. I’ve been all around California and Nevada training at different gyms and this is one of the best environments I’ve seen. The students and staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to provide feedback. This gym is pretty unique because the style of striking they teach is Dutch Kickboxing as opposed to Muay Thai, which seems more transferable to MMA. And that’s the beauty of Dynamix, the focus is MMA so all the grappling, wrestling, striking classes are geared towards improving your MMA. Many MMA gyms I’ve gone to don’t train in MMA gloves or mix striking with grappling the way Dynamix MMA does. Typically the classes start with warmups (jogging, body weight exercises, sprints), go into tech
I don’t usually write reviews, but Dynamix MMA is truly deserving of one. After about 7 months of training BJJ and kickboxing here, I can honestly say it’s made a huge difference in my life. As a woman in my late twenties, this place has genuinely helped me find my spark again. It’s not just a gym – it feels like a supportive, safe community where you’re welcomed exactly where you’re at. In this time, I’ve learned to trust myself again and built a confidence that shows up both on and off the mats. I feel stronger physically and mentally, and the conditioning classes have helped me cut weight, gain muscle, and feel proud of my progress. Antoni has put together an incredible team of coaches who are not only accomplished, but truly care about their students. I’m so happy I found Dynamix MMA and would recommend it to anyone looking to explore a new gym or build strong fundamentals!!
I can't say enough great things about this place. Dynamix has some of the best instructors and friendliest training partners. You are literally coached by previous UFC fighters. I've done classes in striking, wrestling, and Jiu-Jitsu, and all of them have been great. The class sizes are usually about ten people, giving you plenty of one on one interaction with the instructors. Whether you want to compete in Martial Arts of just want to learn self defense, this school is amazing. I recommend this place without reservation!
This gym unlike many others I have trained at promotes a team atmosphere which helps elevate everyone's game. Egos are absent which is also a great plus. The instructors are really friendly and just happen to be more knowledgeable than 99% of instructors elsewhere. I would list their credentials but it would take too long. Probably the most significant aspect that separates this gym from the others I have trained at are the instructors ability to explain the techniques incredibly effectively. You understand immediately how the technique works, and why what you were doing before doesn't. I cannot convey in words just how highly I recommend this place.
