From the reviews
I’ve been a student there under Nuri since I was 17. In that time till now being under Nuri’s masterful veteran instruction he’s showed me ways of the fight world I never would have reached without him. Everyone always has nothing but good to say about Nuri.
GC MMA is the real deal. Super high level coaching, great vibe and great training partners. The gym offers MMA, Kickboxing and BJJ classes. I started training here in 2021 and this place has been my home since. I have relocated but I make it point to visit at least once a month to get some good training.
The gym is very clean i came in early and Nuri was teaching a kids class he was very patient the kids had fun and the instructions were very clear. I did the adult class the fellow class mates were great i learned new things had fun and got a great workout
Amazing MMA classes. Both Coach Nuri and Coach John have helped me grow in my techniques, confidence, and abilities. I am so grateful to have discovered this place, and learn under such educated and talented coaches.
New to kickboxing? Start at Gate City Mixed Martial Arts
Gate City Mixed Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Gate City Mixed Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
