Black Widow MMA

I have trained at several gyms from MMA gyms with current and former UFC world champions, to ones with only hobbyists and Black Widow MMA is by far my favorite gym of all of them. I learned so much in just my short time training there and was very impressed by Coach Bitsy and the techniques she would teach. You can tell she is a coach who truly cares about the people training there and watches and teaches the technique according to what they need. Also the environment is very friendly and inviting while also being able to push you to be better. Which is very hard to find!

Can’t say enough good things about this gym! I’ve been going here since May 2022 (1 year 10 months). I came in with zero previous martial arts experience feeling like Bambi on ice. In under 2 years I’ve learned the fundamentals of BJJ, Muay Thai, and MMA and I’ve competed 4 times in 2 tournaments. This is an excellent gym for the well experienced and new beginners. The gym has excellent retention. It’s a no-ego-safe environment where everyone helps each other develop and improve. If this sounds like your kind of school, then I highly recommend you try a class at Black Widow.

Been training here for just about a year, everyone here takes care of one another and coaches do an amazing job at facilitating a safe environment for each person to learn and grow. The community here is really supportive and I’ve gotten the chance to see our coaches patiently working with myself and others each session, helping us make progress and sharpen our skills. If you’re interested in trying martial arts for the first time or if you’re experienced and looking for a great gym in Austin, come on by Black Widow MMA, you will not regret it.

This gym is seriously amazing. Great coaches, great atmosphere, top notch instruction, and overall just an amazing community. This is my first year training martial arts and I’m so glad this is the gym I found when I moved here. They have a women’s class at noon on Saturdays which is how I got started. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Highly recommend!

Honestly, this is an extremely great gym. I travel for work and this was the gym I trained at while out in Austin. I’m always a little hesitant stepping into a new gym but from my first day to my last day, it was a great experience. The muay Thai, jujitsu, and MMA are legit. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and aren’t afraid to answer questions or restart a technique drill so no one is left behind. Your training partners work with you at your skill level, especially when sparring or rolling. The gym culture is very welcoming, everyone in there is a badass, very friendly, and shares the same passion for martial arts. If you’re in Austin, definitely check them out. You’ll leave with some new friends and new skills.
