Mash Gym Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Staff and instructors are very helpful and felt like a natural transition to becoming a member

They’ve reignited my love for Martial arts. Every one is super helpful and super friendly. I feel like it's a brotherhood in there. I feel so welcomed and it'll really helps push me to want to continue to get better. And whenever I spar with someone better, instead of trying to kill me or throwing bombs, they match my energy so that I can still try and improve instead of just getting wrecked. 100% would recommend to everyone and I've actually already recommended it to several people, despite it still being my first month.

my coaches and training partner's, trainers are great and see results from the training sessions it's transfers over into my everyday life.

It was for my first ever kickboxing lesson. The instructors were nice and all of the moves were simple enough. He kept moving around checking on everyone and correcting whatever needed to be corrected. Overall, it felt welcoming, at the same time I could tell that I could really learn a lot of I were to stick to it.

Excellent training, equally welcoming to both amateurs and those interested in fighting/competing. The coaches actively cultivate a great training environment. Everyone works hard but there are no toxic egos, bullies, etc. Or if there are, they don't last long. Wonderful people across the board, and top-notch training. Been going for 2 years and no plans to stop anytime soon.

If you're someone looking for a bjj/fighting gym as a new martial artist, this may not the place for you. I visited this facility on two separate occasions. They were gracious enough to allow me a couple free trial classes, and thank goodness because I wouldn't personally invest too much stock and energy into going back. The first night I went to trial a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class and was instructed on when to arrive and to wear workout clothes. Upon arrival I was greeted by some not so friendly looking faces. People who kind of just stared at me as I walked in the door and had to stammer through why I was there. Liability waiver was signed and I was shown where to go to change and meet the instructor back at. I was given a gi top to wear over my shorts to run through class in. The instructing for this class, Todd, was not super articulate or favorable for someone brand new to the art, and I was not shown a particularly attentive amount of separate instructing besides my partner, Leah, who ended up being the most helpful (as a fellow newer white belt) by the end of class I had walked off the mat to speak briefly with the instructor who was more concerned with telling me pricing instead of any kind of class follow up, then requested I give the gi top back there - where I took it off exposing just a sports bra underneath. Which is fine in itself, if I hadn't have felt so small otherwise. Fast forward a couple days, I wanted to give the kickboxing class a shot even knowing I'd not be going back for bjj. The kickboxing instructor, Marco ended up being super lighthearted, personable, and inviting for someone new. He gave me a sense of humbleness in what he did, which is what I look for in particular in an instructor for me. Unfortunately, I was greeted, again, by an unwelcoming front desk staff member who wouldn't acknowledge me until I hesitantly approached, and was still met with callousness. I give the gym overall two stars because the facility itself is marvelous, with a wide variety of options outside of bjj/kickboxing for fitness. This includes a full gym with Olympic weights, and a full upper training deck. The bathrooms were clean and modern as well. For someone who has trained in martial arts for 20 years, the subpar instructing (with the exception of Marco *thumbs up*) was okay for me - having knowledge of fundamentals and being very teachable. For someone who's new to any kind of martial art, though, I would not recommend.

Mash is an awesome gym no matter where you are on your martial arts journey.I’ve traveled and trained around the country and Mash is among the best gyms I’ve visited. Knowledgeable coaches, clean gym, good competition.Todd and his team (shout out to Karen) go above and beyond to help each member feel like a part of the family while providing an excellent atmosphere to push yourself and develop your skill set.

Friendly environment. Great instructors. Great equipment. Patient while training new comers. My son Brian has Asperger's and needs to build confidence after being bullied in school all his life for being "different". I am well pleased with how they have embraced him. Todd is Amazing and Funny!

Very cool gym. Took my daughter to the free class that they offer.She liked it but Jiu Jitsu really isn't a girly sport.She is only 6 years old. Only 2-3 girls and rest were boys although there was 1 girl there exact size of my daughter so it was funny.She enjoyed the class, but when I ask if she wants to go regularly she didn't seem excited about it. She likes gymnastics and girly activities.Pricing, in my opinion, is fantastic. You pay 1 time per month and that gets you unlimited classes (they do kids classes 3x a week). So if you took your kid(s) there 3x a week you would really get your moneys worth.

I’ve been at Mash Gym for 3 years now and i can honestly say they’re like family to me. Since my first day, everyone treated me with respect and was very helpful while working with me being a novice. The instructors are very professional and well trained at what they teach. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu has changed my life for the better and I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their well-being. Mash Gym, undoubtedly, has the nicest facility in Michigan, all different types of martial arts classes and personal trainers for working out! The owner Todd is very down to earth and easy to talk to as well 👍🏽
