Great respect for this place and the instructors that run it. I called and told them I want my 4 year old son to stop being so timid and shy so they told me to come in for a trial. We came in two days in a row and the attention they gave my son was astonishing. Multiple instructors helped my son as much as they could. They went over techniques with him, the shadowed him, they encouraged him, but it was obvious he was holding the other children back. I don’t remember the owner’s name but he very politely told me that my son just isn’t ready yet. Never once did he talk to me about pricing or

I took the Muay Thai class at McCall and trained under Muay Thai Instructor, Lalo. I have studied Muay Thai for a few years and I can say with all honesty, that Lalo is one of thee BEST instructors in the industry. Lalo knows the art of Muay Thai very well, and when he instructs he focuses on building good form, technique, and developing strength so that students can properly execute strikes, and combinations. No matter if you're training to learn the art for fighting, or for exercise, this Muay Thai class is AMAZING and you will truly learn a lot. Students who have studied under him show incredible

I first came across this school when I was visiting home from Europe; trying to get a feel for what was in the area. What really attracted me was the fact that they are mom and pop owned and are a big supporter of the military veteran and first responder community. Yes the classes are a bit smaller than your average MMA school, but I think that is what makes it more of an intimate environment. One on one training with the instructors are more possible whereas a school with 50 students would make it a little harder to get what you need to improve. Not only that but if you really are trying to put

My son trains here. Liz and Darren are awsome instructors, they instill discipline and respect in their students. This is not a no-touch martial arts, this is a contact martial arts studio with a lot of over sight so nobody gets hurt and everyone can learn. I wish I attended a gym with this type of atmosphere when I was younger. Great gym for all ages.

McCall MMA is the real deal! Professor Darren and Liz McCall are beyond awesome, along with the many other black belt professors here. Everyone is treated with respect and like family from the moment you walk in the door. You won't find a school with better coaches, training partners, or more thorough instruction. Every class you learn something that may save your life in the future, and I couldn't recommend McCall MMA anymore if you are looking to change your life for the better immediately!

Great place to train, everyone here is super friendly. Been training @ McCall's for a few years now. Coach and Liz are family to me. Coach Darren is very knowledgeable and an exceptional teacher. Everything I know and I am in BJJ is because of him and I can't wait to go back and train @ McCall's again

McCall’s Mixed Martial Arts has been great for my son. Not only is it a great form of exercise, but it has helped with his confidence and self-esteem. I have nothing but good things to say about McCalls. Professor Darren and Coach Liz are so nice and so professional. They truly care about their students. My son has been attending classes the past two years. I wish I had signed him up sooner. It is great for both boys and girls. Their prices are very reasonable too, but what is more important for me are the positive physical and mental benefits. I’m sure if you or your child gives it a try you

McCall's is outstanding! Our son has been attending here for over 3 years and he won't attend anywhere else. This place is our second home & our second family. The instructors demonstrate each of the techniques thoroughly, then they have students partner up and practice. They walk around during practice, assist & coach to ensure mastery of each technique for all students. So not only do the students get goup instruction, but they also receive individualized instruction as well! Thank you Professor Darren & Liz for all you do for your students! Your knowledge & expertise continues to do wonders

Excellent instructors and mixed martial arts school! My 7 and 8 year old children enjoy the classes and look forward to learning something new every week. I recommend this school to anyone who is interested in learning mixed martial arts from passionate and professional martial arts teachers. They have affordable prices and what I like the most is that children can go five days a week. The instructors are very friendly and will help you with any concerns you have about your child.Coach Ms. Liz also speaks Spanish, the coaches explain step by step more than three times.They teach you self defense

My review is kind of long but I hope you all find it helpful!
I have been training here for 2 years and I can point out many advantages of training at McCall Mixed Martial Arts. This school is affiliated to Brazilian Top Team (BTT) a respected Jiu Jitsu team recognized internationally with fighters participating in the UFC.
My own experience comes from attending the Adult Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class, not the Muay Thai class.
At McCall Mixed Martial Arts you normally find people from all ages. This is an important factor since you need to learn how to roll with people who might be younger, stronger
