Best Mma Gym near West-chester, Pennsylvania

As a parent of two kids in the Tiger Class at ATA West Chester, I couldn’t be more impressed with how much they’ve grown! Both of them absolutely love coming to class. The instructors are so kind and encouraging, teaching them not only martial arts but also discipline, respect, and self-esteem. What’s even more amazing is that they’ve started taking ownership of their training—now they are applying it to life outside of class. For example, without being asked, they make their beds, all because they’re determined to become black belt leaders. It’s incredible to see how much confidence and responsibility they’ve gained. ATA West Chester has truly inspired them, and I couldn’t recommend it more for any child!

We attended a Birthday Party at ATA and was blown away! The instructors were friendly, professional and made my kiddos feel super welcome! The kids were fully engaged and entertained the whole time during the party while the parents got to sit back and relax! They even provided and served the pizza! My favorite part was when the instructor talked about different ways we can use respect at home, like listening to mom and dad, and gave the example of showing respect to our belongings by putting our shoes away instead of leaving them in the doorway to get tripped on! Wouldn’t you know, the moment we got home from the party my son immediately took off his shoes and placed them in our closet, WITHOUT being asked! That has never happened before and shows the impact the instructor had on him! If you want an stress-free party, where the kids not only have fun and learn some self-defense, but also learn important life skills…look no further! My kids had a blast and I would definitely recommend birthday parties at ATA Martial Arts!

We’ve been a part of ATA for five years. We’ve had three boys start in the Tiger program (perfect for the younger kids) and the oldest just earned his Black Belt. The staff is excellent. We like the structure, the approach to training that calls the students to advance while still being fun and engaging, and the leadership development. Highly recommended.

Our grandson Aarish attends ATA in New Delhi, India where his family is stationed for the past two years. He is currently visiting us in West Chester, PA. Master Jouan and everyone at ATA in WC have been very helpful, knowledgeable and kind in welcoming Aarish. Thank you Master Jouan and staff at ATA WC

The instructors are excellent at bringing out the best in the students and give personal attention when needed. The class schedule is flexible and the scheduling system is easy to navigate.

I been coming to the kickboxing classes since last May to get back into shape, and I could not have been happier coming here! Ben is awesome, and you can tell he sincerely cares about us on and off the mat. I would definitely recommend enrolling in a class ASAP! Thank you Ben!!

I have been going to MAT Fitness for a few months now and couldn’t enjoy it more! I was looking for adult kickboxing classes on google and randomly found MAT and I am so glad I decided to give it a try. Everyone is so friendly and the classes kick your butt. Sweat angels are real. Ben is great and motivates you to push through when you think you can’t do another squat. I always look forward to class and walk out knowing I had a great workout. Would recommend to anyone from beginner to advanced!

MAT Fitness is the best for BJJ and kickboxing! The coaches are skilled, supportive, and make every class engaging, whether you're a beginner or experienced. The BJJ program blends technique and live rolling perfectly, and the kickboxing classes are high-energy and challenging. Amazing gym and community-highly recommend!

I have been going to kickboxing classes for about a year at Mat Fitness and it's been a great change to my health and lifestyle! Ben and the other people in the class are so warm and welcoming! Every workout is different and that makes actually working out 2-3x a week that much more fun and for me- tolerable lol. Definitely recommend, always fun and a great workout!

The kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu programs are great for anyone looking to stay in shape or learn a new martial art. I’ve been training here for a couple years now and couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.
