I’ve trained in many fighting disciplines over the years—Kickboxing, Tae Kwon Do, BJJ, and even had extensive training during my time in the Marines. Coming back into training after almost 5 years, I knew I wanted a program that would push me but also give me the personal focus and flexibility I was looking for. After searching around, I finally found exactly what I needed at MMA CR with Coach Daniele. What makes this place stand out is the personal approach. Classes are structured so that you can go at your own pace, while still being challenged. There’s a mix of ages and experience levels, which makes sparring a truly outstanding learning experience—you get exposure to different styles, speeds, and strategies all in one place. One of the things that impressed me most was Coach Daniele’s openness. He offered free classes upfront to make sure it was the right fit before committing. Honestly, after my very first interaction with him, I a
Coach Danielle is an extremely experienced coach and an incredible teacher. He’s not only great at what he does, but he’s also a true mentor who meets you where you’re at, whether your goals are fitness, self-defense, or competition. This gym is easily the best one I’ve been a part of. You get high-level instruction in grappling, MMA, and kickboxing, Everyone at the gym is very welcoming and supportive as well. The class schedule is another huge plus, with options in the evenings, very early mornings Monday through Friday, and afternoon classes on the weekends, making it easy to stay consistent no matter your schedule. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to better themselves in martial arts, build real discipline, and train in a place that genuinely cares about your development.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MMACR is a great gym with a knowledgeable and experienced coach who truly takes the time to teach and help you improve. The mats are clean, the facility is well maintained, and you can tell cleanliness is a priority. The gym has a lobby, men’s and women’s changing rooms, and a restroom for guests, which makes training there comfortable and convenient. There’s plenty of mat space, and while the gym isn’t overcrowded yet, that’s actually a big plus—you get more one-on-one attention and personalized coaching. They offer kickboxing, MMA, and BJJ/grappling, making it a solid place for anyone serious about learning combat sports in a focused, professional environment. Highly recommend.
Amazing new MMA gym in Carmel. My son joined recently and is super exited about each training session. Coach Daniel is true professional with 30+ years of experience and 200 fights. 🥊 The gym is clean, well-organized and beginner-friendly. Training schedules are posted clearly and there are QR-codes to help you get right gear if you are new to martial arts. Great for teens and adults looking for expert MMA training in a supportive, disciplined environment. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
If you are looking for a gym within the Indianapolis area please trust me MMACR is the gym you want. I have always been interested in trying grappling and mma and the way coach pushes you towards achieving what you want is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The patience and technique that the coach teaches with is what all students interested in pursuing martial arts need. I am especially excited for the new kickboxing classes to start up because that would mean students are capable of learning the technique of 3 different sports for the same price that other gyms charge for just one. Please try out this gym, if you are anywhere near you will not be disappointed with the art and culture represented in this building.
As soon as I walked in I was introduced to everyone on the mat and felt very welcome and was thankful to the coach and team. They're very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the multiple disciplines. Being able to learn striking and grappling individually and blending them to MMMA all at the same place for one price cant be beat! They already have a great core team established and even have some fighters in competition already. I look forward to training with such a dedicated team.
