Darkwolfmma

My two sons have been training at this gym for 4 years. They also go to summer camp here and we’re extremely happy with how much they have learned. They don’t just teach jiu jitsu and MMA. They teach life skills and self defense. The instructors are excellent role models for my boys and I would recommend DarkWolf MMA to my friends and family.

Our whole family goes to this gym and we all have grown because of it. My kids love going and are learning respect and how to defend themselves. As a female I was nervous to start but the ladies made me feel comfortable and at home. All of the coaches and senseis are amazing and teach well! They have multiple different times and class options for everyone to be able to join. They also offer self defense and other classes. I am happy to have found this gym to support my whole family.

Great gym, comfortable environment and excellent instructors!!! (:

DarkwolfMMA is a Family Gym.I've lost 30+lbs in 3 months!!! Thanks to David and Melissa Lohsen and Christian Lohsen for being such amazing coaches and teachers. I can't wait to make it to the UFC!!

I came to train at this gym while I was on vacation with my family. Professor Melissa is a great instructor. She showed us a few techniques and made sure that everyone in the class understood the move. As a female in this sport, it was very refreshing to have a female instructor. There were many females as well for me to train with. This gym made me feel at home. I’ll definitely be back to train here again.

Great people and family atmosphere!

The instructor, specifically Mr. David Lohsen, only likes to pay attention to his favorites or those who compete. I requested a private lesson and then he started the lesson over 30 minutes late because he simply was talking to other guys.

Darkwolf MMA is a good place to train, especially if you are a beginner. One of the problems with this academy is that the morning instructor is irresponsible and has showed up late in many occasions. On more than one occasion, over 20 minutes late. I have also noticed that sometimes they pay more attention to certain individuals than others during group sessions.

Darkwolf MMA is the perfect place for both beginners and experienced Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and MMA practitioners. They offer a wide range of class types for younger kids, older kids, teenagers, women and men. Darkwolf MMA is a family run gym that's equally as family-friendly, with multiple families who train there on a consistent basis. They have friendly, helpful and knowledgeable instructors: David Lohsen, the head instructor and a BJJ Black Belt under the Gracie Lineage, Christian Lohsen, a highly-skilled professional MMA fighter and a decorated BJJ competitor, and Melissa Lohsen, a BJJ World Champion and one of the best female instructors in Central Florida. Just like any great business, they have haters (as you can see from some of these reviews) but if you base your decision to try a class at Darkwolf MMA of those comments, then you're missing out. If you're reading this review in the first place that means you're considering them, and they offer a free first week so you really have nothing to lose.

I can not say enough of DarkWolfMMA. Hands down the best place in West Volusia and surrounding area. BJJ, Self Defense and so much more every day of the week! All my kids compete and so do my wife and I. I can say, of my children who were timid and did get pick on in school no longer get picked on. They know how to defend themselves and how much force is needed to do so. They have been in the cage as well and this is something they would have never done a few years ago. I could go on and on but Dave, Melissa and Christian are awesome and very knowledgeable. All you have to do is ask if you need help and they are right there. No favorites, in this DOJO!!!! You work you train you advance. Excuses get kicked in the dirt!
