A great place to train if you are into mixed martial arts. Head coach Odie and coach Henry bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to every session. The gym is challenging no matter what you are looking to train in. My son loves training BJJ in their kids' class. There is a fundamentals class to get more practice. They are reasonably priced and love the military. If you are looking for a gym, Witness Martial Arts is the place to go.

Hard to find equal diversity in alot of businesses here in Pensacola. Coach Odie and Henry are a dynamic duo. More importantly they win and who better to learn from. Big salute to this place. Very vereran friendly. They are great with kids. My 2 sons joined Witness Martial arts a year ago and its home now.

I found this gym on google maps, just as it opened in the beginning of August, and started coming in about 4 days a week for 2 months. I’ve been training for roughly 3 years and have experienced a lot of different gym cultures and can say this is one of the best gyms I’ve trained at. Odie is as legit as it gets and is instilling a great culture for people coming in, whether it be to compete or just learn. I’d stay at the barracks in Corry Station for my A School training and would walk to the gym which only took 10 minutes. I met a lot of others from Corry and NAS, so if you’re also military and interested in learning any striking or grappling I highly suggest you come by here and take advantage of what the gym has to offer (there’s a military discount too). All you need is a good Coach and people to train with. Trust the process, keep showing up and you’ll be surprised at the progress you can make. I learned a lot, had good talks, and met great people here. Odie is truly passionate about coaching and he’s also one of the most genuine people I’ve met. I’m glad to have trained here and thankful for everything I learned from Odie and the people I trained with.

I can’t say enough good things about Witness Martial Arts. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by the head coach Odie. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to every session The culture of the gym is both challenging and encouraging. The camaraderie among all the members is incredible – it truly feels like a family. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned fighter, you’ll find the perfect blend of intensity and support here. If you’re serious about MMA and want to train at the best gym around, Witness is the place to be!

Great gym! Was in town for a few days and hopped in to train some Jiu Jitsu. Super welcoming atmosphere, clean gym, fair prices and some great instructors. Odie is awesome.
