Proving Grounds Jiu Jitsu & MMA

“My son started training at another gym and we made a switch to Proving Grounds Jiu Jitsu. It didn’t take long to see the vast amount of instructors that they have available 7 days a week, that are passionate about the discipline they teaching. They offer wrestling, Jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, and MMA for all skill levels and for all ages. Whether you want to get into shape, shed a few pounds, or you want to train to be a competitor (which is what my son does), this is definitely the place you want to be!! Come in and try a class or two to witness yourself the magic that happens here!!”

“Proving Grounds jiu-jitsu has been my home away from home for over a year now . If you are new to training stop in and see what we are all about. Beginners to advanced instruction offers something for everyone. And finally they have classes all through out the day meaning no matter your schedule there is a time you can train.”

“We have been with Proving Grounds since the first day they opened. They have great programs for not only kids but also for adults like MMA Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai. All the coaches and staff are remarkable. We would recommend this this place to anyone.”

“If you’re in the area and looking for great training make sure to check Proving Grounds Jiu Jitsu and MMA out. It’s a great school that has amazing training partners, and top notch instructors. They were nothing but welcoming and I’m happy I got the chance to train with them while in town for the week. I’ll be coming back and hopefully make life long friends whenever I’m in Michigan. Thank you again for welcoming me in.”

“This MMA school's Muay Thai kickboxing program is geared towards training fighters for amateur competition and getting them into the pro's, so if that's your "modus operandi", then this is where you should go, to train. I don't know much about their BJJ program aside from my assumption that they teach the Machado style, and I've only had a month of BJJ at this school back in March 2023, when I was a student here, but that's only because I was enrolled in their MMA program at the time... I think. I have fond memories of this place. Their adult-level mixed martial arts (MMA) program is good, too. I don't know anything about the youth-level one. I don't have any kids... yet. I used to train in the Muay Thai program at Proving Grounds, and I'm contemplating a return in October 2025, because I now realize that my personal (and proprietary) reasons for dropping out of their world-class Muay Thai / Kickboxing program were inaccurate, to say the least. Should I return to this MMA/BJJ school in October of this year to resume training in Muay Thai, I will make sure to update this review.”
