Best Mma Gym near Hammonton, New-jersey

As a parent whose son had struggled with social anxiety and had a difficult time fitting in with kids his own age, I can vividly recall the sense of surprise and relief I felt when I first brought him to this exceptional facility. From the moment we stepped through the doors, his coach, as well as  the more experienced older students in the class quickly took him under their wing, welcoming him with open arms and making him feel right at home. They went out of their way to include him in drills, offer guidance and advice, and ensure he was comfortable and confident as he began his grappling journey. The camaraderie and sense of community among the students was palpable, with the seasoned grapplers taking genuine pride in nurturing the development of the newer members. It was clear this was not just a gym where people came to train - it was a tight-knit martial arts family, bound together by a shared passion for the sport. And at the heart of it all are the coaches, whose supportive, encouraging demeanor and evident love for what they do is truly inspiring. You can tell they aren't in it for the money or the glory, but rather to pass down their extensive knowledge and help each student reach their full potential on the mats. Their infectious enthusiasm and commitment to their craft is a major part of what maks the atmosphere in this facility so welcoming and special. With the experienced students and dedicated instructors working in tandem, my son quickly found himself immersed in a supportive, encouraging environment that allowed him to rapidly improve his skills and truly fall in love with the art of grappling. Thank you for all you do.

We have been with Snake Pit for a little of a year(we have previously tried 2 other schools) and have nothing but an amazing experience from day 1. Head Coach, Joel Bane, has been an amazing asset in our childrens growth in the sport. There is an amazing staff of coaches that pour their knowledge in to the students at the academy and their expertise shows. I love that we can attended as many (or as little) of the kids classes for the same price. If you are serious about learning and growing in MMA this is absolutely the best in the area!

Coach Joel Bane and his academy is truly one of a kind. The way he teaches techniques and breaks down the steps is truly remarkable. His attention to detail is unparalleled and his work ethnic is second to none. Each class feels like a seminar. Cannot recommend enough.

My son loves his coaches and the atmosphere the crew brings to the table. His dedication to his craft is a testament of what the Coaches leadership provides. We love it.

I started my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Catch Wrestling journey along side my son at the Snake Pit USA gym for the obvious 40 year old reasons. And I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. I’m training under two Amazing Coaches , Coach Bane and Coach Dale whose knowledge and passion for teaching Catch Wrestling and BJJ has me hooked. I’m doing things I never thought I was capable of doing and it’s really just the tip of the iceberg. Everyday I walk in there i become a little bit better , I feel better and I leave knowing that the more I show up and put in the work the better I will be and happier I will be. I need the motivation and drive and these Coaches deliver every bit of it. There’s nothing in the world like having Coaches and training partners who want to help you become the best you can be on and off the mats. I am extremely grateful to be apart of the Snake Pit Family!

I just took my first woman’s self-defense class tonight at Ultimate martial arts and kickboxing in Hammonton. It was awesome! Scott was great! A definite recommend!

I love this place! I started kickboxing classes at Ultimate Martial Arts and Kickboxing 2 weeks ago and can already feel myself getting stronger. I appreciate how each class is a full body workout that changes every day so it doesn't become monotonous. I also really like the daily health tips that are offered at the end of each class. Scott, Damon, and G are excellent coaches. They make their rounds during class, ensuring everyone is using proper body mechanics and understanding the techniques. I'm so happy to have found such an awesome group of people to help me with my health and wellness journey. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Thanks, guys!! Y'all are the best! 🥊🥊

I am a mom of four and I was looking into getting back into shape. A little nervous about actually going to the gym and I’m not one to go for a jog either. I told my husband one day that I would do kickboxing I did it before we had children. Over ten years ago. My husband stumbled across a Groupon and let me know that he signed me up. I immediately got nervous and started coming up with a million reasons as to why I did not have time. I finally mustered up the courage and came into my first class. I have been going consistently 2 to 3 times a week for the last four weeks. The environment is welcoming there are people on all different levels the instructors are kind but they do push you, and I have seen the change in my body. Definitely the best decision I have made in 2023 thus far. If you are undecided this is the place for you. You can do it.

Everything about this martial arts program is awesome!! The staff, the skills, the team. Our son has grown as a person in more ways than I can describe. He's determined , strong and confident. We’ve been with the team for a few years now and my husband has also joined. It’s a wonderful bonding experience for the both of them and it’s exciting to see them encourage each other. When our daughter turned 5 it was a no brainer, she’s always excited to go to class. Joining UMAK is one of the best decisions we've made as a parents to date.

I recently signed my children up for karate. At first they argued with me saying no but now they love it and always looking forward to the next class. I myself joined the kickboxing fitness and its been great the group is very supportive and helpful. Mr Damon's and Mr G's personalities are great they have alot of patience dealing the diversity of the members. They also have a huge sense of humor which makes the experience more fun while learning a skill. Definently would recommend.
