Team Link Muay Thai is outstanding! I've been a member for just over a year now and the only thing I regret is not joining the gym sooner.

Been a member of Team Link for over 4 years now and I don't regret a single day of it. Great atmosphere, attitudes, and personalities all around. The equipment is kept clean and up-to-date. The coaches are extremely kind, helpful, and encouraging. The exercise and training can be rigorous but everyone is free to train at their own pace and comfort zone; whether it be a hobby, just getting into shape, or training to be a fighter. Team Link is a phenomenal place to learn and practice Muay Thai.

My escape from reality! I have been doing physical hobbies and exercises my whole life and tried so many different things, But I always felt Like I could have fun while doing it, And now I finally am! I was incredibly scared Joining here at first, I had no fighting experience or any martial art knowledge. I was very out of shape due to some recent injuries as well. After almost 2 months of consistently showing up in training, I can honestly say this has been very life-changing so far and I cannot wait to see where I am over the next year!!! All the classes are very fun and interactive, and the instructors that are present throughout the class are very helpful and patient with Everyone. What makes it even better is everyone in the class is extremely friendly and just as patient and helpful. I cannot speak highly enough of this place and everyone that is involved in this family. I am beyond thankful for having found this place and encourage everyone to give it at least a small try - I promise it’ll be worth it!

Worcester MMA is an incredible place! Coach Dan, Max, and the entire staff are such a welcoming and friendly group of people. They went above and beyond to make my little brother feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. Their approach is professional yet approachable, and they really know how to create a positive and encouraging environment. I highly recommend Worcester MMA for anyone looking to train in a supportive community.

I have trained and taught BJJ for over 20 years. I have trained In many schools throughout the United States and internationally. I own two BJJ schools myself in Connecticut and Dan Simmler of Worcester MMA is one of the best instructors I’ve seen. I’ve had the chance to train with him several times over the past year and he never disappoints. In addition to his fantastic instruction, he’s always willing to roll. I highly recommend his Academy.

We've been training at WMMA for about 6 months after starting out at a different gym for about 6 months. My son competes regularly and since coming to WMMA his skills and technique have grown exponentially. The coaches are awesome. Each one has a slightly different style and approach to instruction. It's beneficial to have so many knowledgable coaches who don't push competitions but certainly encourage those interested in competing. Dan the owner is a great person. Not only is he knowledgable in Jiu Jitsu but just a great human being to talk to. A straight shooter who genuinely cares for his students and will go out of his way to ensure their success. You know what Dan expects and is awesome at explaining/demonstrating technique. You'll never lack knowledge of why you are doing something a certain way. Coach Max who teaches the kids classes is the perfect instructor for kids. He does well at redirecting their attention, offering encouragement, and laying out expectations. Max seemingly never gets frustrated with the kids and is gifted with limitless patience. Coach Nick is a wealth of knowledge. He does adult classes and is eager to assist during drills and explain things to those of us who a bit slower to pick things up. Always eager to help, Nick seems to really shine by connecting moves throughout the week to previous techniques shown. It has helped me with retention. Having left our first gym where questions were often answered with "If you end up here there's nothing you can do. You're screwed!" WMMA coaches seem so much more knowledgable when they readily share escapes from all kinds of positions. I'm not left feeling like if I get "caught" in a position then I'm an idiot. Instead, I feel as though I just haven't learned the right response yet. Overall, an incredible environment for all levels of jiu jitsu practitioners. No matter your age, fitness level, or skills you will be welcomed to the team and encouraged every day. Over the last couple months we've had personal issues unrelated to Jiu Jitsu that have caused me to pause my training. When I've come back sporadically as I've had time I'm not made to feel bad but encouraged in my journey.

As a Jocko Willink fan, I always wanted to start BJJ. This year, I finally did, with my teenage soon. We have been thrilled with Worcester MMA. Coach Dan and the other coaches are OUTSTANDING. Great BJJ practitioners and excellent teachers. I'll also say that the "vibe" (as my sons say) is great. People are very friendly, helpful, and encouraging. We are newbies, but the people of more advanced belts very nicely help, teach, and encourage. Great for me. And even better for my sons. I highly recommend Coach Dan, his team, and Worcester MMA.

Great place to train! Went in for their sunday open mat, great rolls and great people.
