Montana Mixed Martial Arts, Bozeman | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I’ve not experienced a jiujitsu/MMA gym with such a fantastic combination of great coaching, intentionality with the kids classes, and focus on healthy training as I have at Montana MMA. I’ve trained in gyms all over the country (and in other countries!) and Montana MMA still sticks in my mind as my best gym experience, both as a student and a coach.
For parents looking to find a place for their kids to train: Brian is so intentional in making a positive environment where the kids can grow, have fun, build confidence, and learn a martial art. It’s a special place in this regard.
For adults looking to get into BJJ/MMA: The seasoned vets are always intentional to help you learn without making you feel foolish (this is a humbling sport, trust me). Ego is always set aside; even in sparing, your partner is always looking to grow and learn with you, not at your expense.
For the long time practitioner: there are lots of upper belts to sharpen your game against, and lots of different styles and approaches. I was never injured in training and my partners always looked to improve my game. I’ve never had an upper belt turn down showing me a trick or two. Great personalities all around. I’d consider training Monday to Thursday so you can have gas in the tank for Saturday morning training… trust me.

I like to start with a negative aspect so people know this is a legitimate review. My only gripe is that it was cold in there…but I’m from Houston so anything less than 75F is ‘cold’. Given that this is Montana, I would imagine that 70F is down-right balmy.
Professor Brian as well as all his students were all so kind and welcoming. We just dropped in without notice as we passed through on our train-cation up from Houston and he invited us right in for the next class. Excellent class and excellent detail (I’m a brown belt and have visited many schools and seminars). We were invited back for class the next day, which was also excellent. After each one, we were able to roll with many students from white to brown. Everyone was very skilled and represented their belt level very well.
The mats were nice, bathrooms very clean, and plenty of space in the parking lot.
I would definitely recommend Montana MMA whether you are passing through or signing-up.
Thanks again to Brian and crew for the wonderful experience.
