    My son has been attending Ju Jitsu classes at The Lab for the last six months. He has been having a great time learning the art. Some of the positive changes he is benefiting from at the moment are increased confidence, improved attention span, a greater sense of respect towards others and other positive traits. This is all thanks to Professor Donald and Jesse's constant sharing of their vast experience in life and JuJitsu. We appreciate you guys. Thank you to the whole "Lab MMA" staff, keep up the good work.

    The atmosphere is amazing and instructors are very experienced! There are many high level jits practitioners and mma fighters. Everyone was very welcoming and treated each other with respect. Would definitely recommend this academy as the club provided a safe and clean environment for people of all ages and experience levels.

    My son, Nate, has been attending The Lab MMA Academy for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s been a fantastic experience for both of us. From the very first class, the coaches made him feel welcome and comfortable, even though he was a bit nervous starting something new. The instructors are professional but also warm and approachable. They strike a really good balance between discipline and fun — which is exactly what kids need. My son comes home excited to show me what he learned and I’ve noticed he’s become more focused, respectful, and confident since starting. He’s learning real martial arts techniques, but he’s also building life skills — things like perseverance, listening, and self-control. The gym itself is clean, well-run, and organized. I also appreciate how the classes are structured by age and skill level, so he’s always training with other kids at a similar stage. As a parent, it’s reassuring to know that he’s in a safe environment with coaches who actually care about the kids’ progress — not just in martial arts, but in who they are becoming. I really can’t recommend The Lab MMA enough for anyone looking to get their child into martial arts. It’s been such a positive influence on my son’s growth.

    I’ve had such a great experience at The Lab MMA Academy! The coaches are super friendly and patient, and they make training fun while still pushing you to improve. The gym has a really welcoming vibe. It was very clean, and the community atmosphere makes it an excellent place to train and grow. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for MMA, fitness, or just a great community.

    The Lab is exactly what this community needed! The Lab may be new, but it’s already setting the standard for what a top-tier MMA studio should be — a place where people of all ages, especially kids, can grow stronger, more confident, and more disciplined in a safe, supportive environment. Led by Professor Jesse Richardson and Coach Donny Magboo, the instruction is world-class. These two are not only elite martial artists, but phenomenal teachers who know how to connect with kids on their level. They focus on building a strong foundation in both technique and character — teaching respect, focus, perseverance, and discipline through martial arts. As a mom of 2, the kids’ classes are a major highlight for me. The coaches strike the perfect balance between structure and fun, helping young students develop real skills while building confidence and encouraging teamwork. Parents can feel confident knowing their children are learning in a positive, ego-free space. The facility is clean, modern, and purpose-built for serious training. Whether you’re a parent looking for a constructive outlet for your child, or someone pursuing their own martial arts journey, The Lab offers an unmatched experience. This gym is building champions on and off the mats. Highly recommend checking it out!
