If your looking for true BJJ and boxing coaching then look no further. My 10 yr old son, daughter, son in law, and myself all attend classes and have become part of the Hicks MMA family. A specific part of our preschool and kids martial arts classes at Hicks Mixed Martial Arts in Carrollton is teaching respect, and teaching when to use their new self defense training and when to NOT use them.
It's not just a workout - it's a life-saving skill. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones, even if an attacker is bigger and stronger than you. I've been with coach for 5 years. I've never seen another coach care so much about his students. I've sparred guys who have had years more experience and I get them hardcore and that's thanks to this incredible place.

My daughter has been taking classes for only a month and I’ve already seen improvements in her attention and behavior. The coaches are great and very patient with kids

Excellent experience all around! My kids are engaged and instruction is adjusted based on the level of the class. Great attention is paid to the advancement of the children's skillset and constantly encouraged to work hard and do their best. Also, Coach Hicks is passionate about helping all achieve their goals, whether it's in the kids or adult classes. Couldn't have asked for a better experience overall with an extremely skilled instructor!
So, years later I've had to privilege, and I truly mean privilege, to work with Coach Hicks and he has taken me under his wing to reach the goals we set.

I love Hick MMA! Having been to other gyms and marital schools, I can definitely say with all certainty that Coach Hick is one of the best trainers. His knowledge is world-class, the school is professional, friendly and the motivation transcends just physical fitness but helps in all areas of life! Come join this incredible family. You wouldn't be disappointed!

I've been training here a little over 2 years. I had no previous martial arts training at all. Coach Hicks, with the help of other advanced coaches and students, really helped me develop not only a passion for the sport, but a level of physical fitness and mental strength I would not have otherwise been able to attain. I was slightly apprehensive at first joining a gym with not many other female members. Everyone in the gym is courteous and keeps the training centered around jiu-jitsu or boxing. I've never felt uncomfortable in any way. I would recommend Hicks MMA to anyone who wants a fun, alternative

From the start not only was our daughter welcomed immediately but our entire family was welcomed by all members of the gym, especially by staff.
We became apart of the Hick’s jiu-jitsu family very quickly and never looked back!
The gym provides a family environment that promotes a level of growth.
Coach is extremely knowledgeable and knows his stuff! He has instilled in everyone to make each other better every day. Respect is big and I LOVE THAT! Coach will push you and you are surrounded by encouragement from all levels no matter what level you are at. Gym is always very clean and mats are

My son has been here since March 2014 (along with other kids throughout the years) and I have been training since 2017. Marcus Hicks has a great system for kids and adults that will hammer the basics of BJJ into your bones. Coach Hicks has the amazing ability to teach to his audience, whether it was my 3 year old in 2014 or a 40 year old needing that extra motivation to stay in shape and learn some new skills. This isn't a corporate gym, this isn't a clique-y gym, this isn't a fluff gym, it's a gym that you will get out of what you put in which is all you can ask for. I

Coach Hicks didn't even want me to pay before trying out his class. He wanted to make sure that this is something I plan on sticking with. He offers free classes for you to try and is just a real chill dude. His students love him and all the students work really hard.

My son has been going to Hicks MMA gym for about a year and I have to say I have never met a more caring coach than Coach Hicks. I appreciate his focus on anti-bullying and I definitely appreciate the confidence that my son now has I would recommend this for any child.
