I just recently signed up at this gym. The owner Karen is a super nice cool guy! He was more than nice enough to let me try out a free class before commiting. He runs a very clean respectable MMA gym. The other instructors are very welcoming as well. The students in the class are super respectful, kind, and there are no egos! At first I felt a bit intimidated going into Muay Thai/ Kickboxing given i’ve never done it before and I was a bit worried about it being mainly males, however they all made me feel safe, comfortable, and welcomed. If you are hesitant to sign up don’t be ! You will love the positive energy and sense of community here! :) Girls don’t hold back! Give it a shot! I’m extremely glad I did! :)

KDMMA is an MMA dojo founded by Karen Darabedyan, an elite fighter and grappler. His technical knowledge of submission holds is probably in the top 1 % in the world. The dojo's students are tough but friendly and accepting of all levels of new students. Highly recommended!

Just started taking classes here and I have to say I love this place. This gym is amazing. Brand new beautiful place to train. On top of that, Karen is one of the best teachers I have ever met. A accomplished grappler and amazing instructor. He is the real reason you should go here. He is patient and very knowledgable. This gym is very friendly to new comers (like me) but they also have advanced classes and open mats on Saturdays. I can't reccomend KDMMA enough. Thanks Karen.

KDMMA is a fun, safe and friendly place to workout and get in shape at. It has no egos and Karen is a great instructor and very high level grappler. The school is full of high level people to roll with, but don’t be afraid, they are all helpful to beginners, of which there are many. I highly recommend KDMMA for both children and adults.
