Billy the coach is great to work with and super even keeled. Chandra has been working with me and is super inspiring to me- I am a novice.
The gym is family orientated which I love. As a female it was encouraging to see powerful moms honing skills with her children running around..
The classes are great- and there's plenty of time for open mat. Plenty of versatility and adult classes alike.
Don't go anywhere else for MMA! Go here!!! :))

I gained weight due to a broken leg and signed up for conditioning and to learn self defense. The trainers push you. Pedro and Abraham and his wife are amazing. Everyone has helped me as a beginner and push me to better myself but make it clear to rest if my leg is bothering me. I read some of the negative reviews, and as a consumer, read the fine print. When it comes to any membership, if you feel something was unfair, then that's on your own responsibility to make sure you understand terms and agreements before signing. The gym doesn't require a membership. You can just "drop in" and not even

Amazing gym with amazing trainers! 5 Stars all around! We have had the pleasure of working with Johan and personally getting to know Preston and we could not be more impressed or happy with the outcome. My son has been to many gyms, trained by many coaches and finally we found the home we have been looking for! I was not only recommend Ludus to everyone I know but was encourage them to just visit one time because they are sure to come back time and time again.
Spotless facility and great people that are making warriors every single day!

"A great place to train". My husband and I have been at multiple gyms in MN and the Jacksonville area: I have been a Ludus Lady for 2+ years, and my husband for over 5 years. Koach Billy is fantastic and he has a wonderful coaching and support staff. The fellow gym goers feel like family. Plus, the mats are always clean. I have no intention of being a member anywhere else. I recommend you giving it a try!

Great place for anyone to get in shape and learn martial arts. There are evening and morning classes for everyone, as well as kids classes 3 nights a week. The gym is always clean, and the partners are always a pleasure to work with. The coaches always stick to techniques and concepts that will help you compete at the highest level, which is why the gym has been considered one of the best in the region for years. Definitely worth checking out with a trial class.

This is a wonderful gym for everyone of all abilities. Everyone is extremly friendly and I felt very comfortable coming here. When I first started, I knew very minimal about self defense but after working with Branden I now know how to properly defend myself and got some of the best workouts I've ever had. My strength, endurance and confidence is much greater now than ever before.

Had family business in Jacksonville. My 16 year old daughter does mma and figured she could get some training while we were there. I searched gyms in the area and found Ludus, I watched their video and felt comfortable calling them and asking if my daughter and her trainer could join in on some sessions. The owner, Billy, was obliging with my request. When we walked in the gym was spotless, the people there were very nice they are more like a family, respectful of each other and confident in their abilities as no one tried to break another's spirit. They all tried to help each other in techniques
