Great place to train and learn Martial Arts. From the coaches to the gym staff and the students on the mats, everyone is respectful and has the same goal of learning and getting better.

My son loves his classes. He looks forward to it, and always asks for more. The coaches are great, they take time to engage with each of the students.

Our experience with Immortal MMA has been top notch. We have been to both the Lewis Centre & Gahanna locations. The instructors are excellent and are all very passionate about what they do. The front desk is very friendly and informative. Special shout out to Josh P for his patience with instructing kids, and his ability to instruct each one at their individual levels, bringing up their skills with each class. Thank you, Immortal MMA. Highly recommended to anyone looking to boost their confidence and get in shape.

Immortal is hands down an awesome gym. The atmosphere is welcoming, the training is top-notch, and the people here genuinely make it special. Everyone is supportive, motivated, and pushes each other to be better without ego or attitude. It’s the kind of place where you feel comfortable walking in, but also challenged every time you train. If you’re looking for a gym with great energy, solid training, and an amazing community, Immortal is it.

World class instructors, opportunities to meet professionals in the field, amazing staff. Even in a class setting, the instructors make sure to check-up on everyone to make sure that they're practicing proper form etc. and to give tips. Overall 10/10.

Dani and Olivia are great ! The moment Dani said “I’m gonna stay ten toes down so I can come correct” was the moment I decided to sign up for the year.

Immortal Martial Arts is an excellent choice for kids to learn jujutsu. The school emphasizes a supportive and inclusive environment, where students of all skill levels are encouraged to progress at their own pace. Additionally, the student to instructor ratio ensures that each child receives personalized attention and guidance, helping them develop essential skills and confidence. With a focus on character development alongside physical training, Immortal Martial Arts provides a well rounded experience that can benefit kids both on and off the mats.

I have been thinking about taking Muay Thai classes for a long time. I finally decided to give it a try at Immortal. I was hooked immediately. The classes are designed for all skill levels and the coaches are friendly and extremely knowledgable. It has been a great experience so far and I am looking forward to continuing with May Thai and adding in some BJJ as well!

An awesome place that’s very family oriented whether you are a kid or adult. Our son has been participating in BJJ classes for the last two years. The experience that he’s receiving at Immortal is invaluable. All kids should participate in something like this.

This is an amazing teaching facility. The instructors are top notch, the culture is friendly and welcoming, and the staff is incredibly helpful. Great for all levels, from beginner to professional fighter. I would highly recommend to anyone interested in the mixed martial arts or anyone looking to improve their health while learning a little self defense along the way. I have been a member for about three years and I have seen benefits both physically and mentally.

As a parent and someone with a background in martial arts (though currently on a break due to parenting demands), I have only high praise for this training center where my son is a student. Starting with the head instructor, Matt "The Immortal" Brown: he's a relaxed and effective coach who focuses heavily on technique, something my son thoroughly enjoys. The other coaches here are exemplary, the kind I wish had been involved in other sports my son participated in over the years. They're supportive, easily approachable, engaging, and amiable. They know how to challenge the kids positively without overwhelming them, steering clear of harsh criticism or undue pressure. Observing the camaraderie among participants in different classes also highlights the welcoming atmosphere of this place. Ultimately, I'm looking forward to joining the adult classes myself once my son advances to that level.

My 5-year-old recently started the Kids Warrior program, and we are thoroughly impressed by instructor Lauren and the curriculum. Maddox enjoys the class, and his confidence has grown in the last few months. I enrolled this year as well and started training with Matt and Cam. Both are great coaches and truly dedicate themselves to the students. I wish I had started my journey sooner at Immortal. However, I look forward to class every week!

My 7 year old daughter has been participating in the youth warrior classes for a few months now and she loves it!! Great instructors that are knowledgeable and work well with the kiddos. My daughter is not the most athletically gifted child, but they treat her like a champion. She has a blast every class! Learning important self defense techniques and gets a nice workout every time. I highly recommend Immortal Martial Arts.

My 7yr old is enrolled in Little Warriors. Coach Lauren runs the program and has a good balance of empathy and discipline and is very patient. We attend the Wednesday classes but they are also offered on Mondays and Saturdays. Skills are taught and then built upon class to class. They offer various enrollment plans with memberships and multi lesson packages to accommodate various budgets and schedules. My son likes Coach Lauren and has shown marked improvement in the 6-8 classes he has attended. Facilites are clean and well equipped, prices are reasonable, parking is adequate. Heck, they are even throwing a free holiday party. Side note: Parents in the waiting area are too loud. Please be respectful while Coach is teaching.

We had recently moved here from California and wanted to enroll our 6-year-old in martial arts. Immortal was recommended to us by a friend so we took the free trial class. Coach Lauren, his teacher, immediately convinced us that we found the right place. She is SUCH a good teacher, understands children's minds and connects with them, has sage-like patience (which I don’t have), and teaches them legit techniques that work. A year later our now 7-year-old has really blossomed because of his training. Can’t wait to get the 3-year-old enrolled. I have been taking various martial arts my whole life, mostly in California, so I decided to enroll too. No exaggeration, this is the best gym I ever trained at. Great gym culture, and world-class coaches. This place is an absolute gem and we feel very blessed to have found it.

Family is the first word that i think of when i go here. The training is top of the line and the Coaches treat you with the utmost respect. The gym is full of great teammates too, not one person in the gym has a big ego. Also Matt Brown and Mark Coleman train you really well, and for being the best MMA fighters i have ever watched and followed my whole life they treat you like a friend and i respect that. The truth is they don't have to respect you for who you are they choose too. I have meant so many fighters that have thought i am the best and Matt and Mark have proven that, but instead of themselves they choose to show you to make you better. The Kickboxing and boxing classes are awesome. I swear i have stepped my hand speed and cardio up a bunch since coming to these classes. The coaches of the Kickboxing and boxing classes are very observant to all the students in the class at all times. They will have you do combos and check on all aspects of your game and technique. They will push you to limits you didn't know you even had, but not kill you either. The Jiu-jitsu class is also top of the line. The Jiu-jitsu coaches are great probably the best jiu-jitsu i have ever come across in ohio. They work on great techniques and they will be very patient with you especially if your new like me lol. The point is i drive 11/2 hours away (on my day off). I wish i could come more often, but i come has much has i can and will continue to do so has long has i can. I challenge you if you want cardio, become an mma fighter, learn self-defense or just meet some great people than this is a great place to come. I just want to say thanks to the Immortal Gym for being that dream that came true.

On top of all that great atmosphere you find in this place, you get to train with professional UFC fighter Matt Brown, who is an awesome person and you can tell is so committed to this project. I highly recommend getting a good training here.

I did karate as a kid for 5 years and really enjoy the Muy Thai class. It’s a great facility and Matt is not only very knowledgeable, but goes out of his way to know everyone who comes through those doors. Highly recommend - even if you’re a newcomer to any fighting sports they have great instructors who are patient and willing to teach all levels.

No matter your reason for training, getting into shape, lose weight, become a fighter, whatever.. this is the place! Matt and all the trainers are not only knowledgeable beyond expectation, but they are not intimidating and wont look down on you just because your new to everything. If you need a place with wall to wall fancy equipment, shiny bright tvs and juice bar, it may not be the best fit. BUT if you are SERIOUS about getting FIT, TRAINING and LEARNING with a professional UFC fighter and want to meet your goals and help others meet their goals then i will see you in class!
