Bellingham Mixed Martial Arts

I signed up for the Intro to Kickboxing Class as I was interested in learning more about fighting, plus getting a good workout in. I was slightly nervous when I first walked into the gym because I'm a novice and this is a *legit* MMA gym; aka very seasoned & skilled athletes also training at the same time. Our coach was Hunter and he was AWESOME! Great instructor, spent a considerable amount of time walking us through proper technique, etc. Hunter was so patient, so friendly, and I feel like I actually learned quite a lot (which is way better than the boxing classes I've taken before where they just stick you on a hanging bag & ignore you the rest of the time). Also, it was definitely a great sweat & workout. The rest of the athletes were super friendly & welcoming. My advice: even if you're just thinking about getting into fighting and interested in learning more, just show up & take a class! You may just find your new gym & community!

I'm a beginner to combat sports and the gym has been extremely welcoming and accommodating. It's a very friendly environment to train at and I've been greatly enjoying my time there.

This is a fantastic gym for beginners or experienced students, for hobbyists and competitors alike. They foster a community of respect that makes it a pleasure to train here!

All of the coaches are really good at making everyone feel welcome, hands down one of the best gyms to go to if you have social anxiety, fun classes, accepting people, lots to learn. Definitely recommend this gym no matter the skill level

I trained here for about 7 months before I moved too far away to continue. I've been to a few gyms and this was by far my favorite. The coaches are respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable. I would recommend this gym to anyone wholeheartedly.

I'm a beginner and everyone here including the other students are so welcoming, patient and helpful. They have fostered a community of inclusion that feels very home-like and comfortable. The classes are all levels which is great because you learn the beginner skills but also get to see what those skills build up to. I highly recommend checking out this gym.

Had my first kickboxing lesson. I had an absolute blast! The instructor was friendly, professional, and very attentive to detail in making sure that I was learning proper form. I can't wait to go back!

Coach Hunter and Lara run a great program in a very comfortable yet highly instructional environment. Recommend deeply for beginners but tailors to all skill levels.

The owners of Bellingham MMA (Hunter and Lara) are extrenely kind and genuinely care so much about each individual student. They work to make the enviornment feel welcoming for everyone no matter their skill or experience level. They also have a strong technical curriculum, so they make sure that everyone has a solid foundation of basic techniques before doing any sparring or more difficult drills. No matter your experience I think you will find this gym to be perfect for you because they really cater to everyone! I have been doing muay thai for about 5 years and I love it here, but I also convinced a few of my friends to sign up who are beginners and they are learning so much and having a lot of fun too!

Great coaches, very very clean and we'll kept, good quality techniques. Great training for grappling and kickboxing. Very pleased with enrolling my teen as a parent, and my teen as a student is liking the improvements in physical fitness and mma skills..
