“Just a great gym all around. Been training on and off the past 8 years and this place is great. Awesome space, the owner/head trainer Adam is really helpful and the guys that frequent are no ego and very chill. Much more relaxed vibe than most jiu jitsu gyms, which is a huge positive as the focus is really on the sport and training. If you’re looking for a no gi/mma focused gym in cinci give this place a try.”

“As a beginner in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I’ve found an incredible home at this MMA gym. From day one, the welcoming environment made it easy to dive in, while also offering advanced practitioners the tools to elevate their skills to new heights. Coach Tanner is nothing short of exceptional—his expertise and encouragement are unmatched—and Adam’s guidance has been equally impressive in my experience. What truly sets this gym apart is the culture: everyone here is genuinely invested in your success, leaving egos at the door to create a supportive, growth-focused community. I can’t recommend this place highly enough!”

“Great gym for both beginners and advanced alike! I started training Jiu Jitsu here with no prior experience, and it was a welcoming environment, while being the right amount of challenging at the same time. There are some seriously strong/talented individuals who train here, many of whom have offered constructive feedback, advice and tips to me (with no ego, all in good faith) when they noticed I was new to the sport, which I greatly appreciated. You can tell that the owner, Adam, really loves this place and wants to see his students succeed, and has fostered that environment. I also like the variety of class offerings throughout the week, and the availability of "fundamentals" classes as well. If you're on the fence like I was, just go for it!”

“Adam goes above and beyond for his students. Powell MMA has an atmosphere you’d have to see to believe. Adam, as well as his appointed coaches pay great attention to detail and cater to students of all skill levels. It’s a pleasure to be a part of and I’m looking forward to what the future brings. You also won’t find a better deal in the city!”
