Awesome bjj gym! Tried a few gyms in chambana when I got here (i'm a complete white belt), and though this was the farthest commute, Coach James, Cassie, and the lycans who train here made me choose this gym, and I'm so glad I did. There's an awesome and welcoming community of talented bjj practitioners and competitors here, and so much great energy to go around. Class availability is great and increasing in 2023! Definetly check out this gym if you're looking to train in the area!

It’s hard to put in to words how wonderful the owners and coaches are at Lycan’s Den MMA and what we’ve gained by being a part of this “Jiu Jitsu community” they’ve built. My daughter has been training with Coach James for almost 8 years. Over the years he has taught her more than just Jiu jitsu, helping her grow into a more confident and well-rounded person. If you want to train at a place where everyone feels like family, Lycan’s Den is the place to be! Best in C-U!

Lycans Den MMA is amazing. I tried out some other places and the staff at Lycans Den MMA are way better than all the others. The classes are great and the other members are great people and a blast to train with. You won't be disappointed in becoming a member at Lycans Den MMA.

If you’re looking for a place to train Jiu Jitsu and/or other mixed martial arts this is absolutely your place. The coaches are amazing, the atmosphere is amazing and you feel like you’re part of a family. My 9 year old daughter has been training at Lycans Den for almost 2 years and the growth my wife and I have seen from her is amazing. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Hard work, work ethic, respect, discipline, family and giving everything you have each and every day is what Lycans Den is all about. Highly recommend!!
