Great gym and coaches. Been going off and on for a few months now and there's a great sense of community and clear instruction. Would recommend to anyone looking for a solid MMA gym in Austin. read more

Solid team and trainers with a a few active competitors/fighters. Female owned as well.

I stumbled upon Black Widow MMA gym by way of meeting the boxing instructor in early 2021. I'm a big regular gym goer, but had never dabbled in any form of MMA before, so initially I was a bit shy to jump into the classes and fully immerse myself into their suite of offerings across boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, and more. But I am so glad that I got over myself and dipped my toes in last year! This is more than a gym; it's a community, and a space for people to grow, thrive, and build some beautiful friendships. Every instructor I've had the pleasure to learn from has been nothing short of amazing in terms of skill level and the ability and willingness to make the training and concepts accessible to beginners. I've been a bit of a casual goer in that I can't make it to as many classes as I'd like, but even so, I feel that I've learned some really valuable ways to move my body that I really look forward to developing further with time. This gym is friendly to the highest level martial artists and the beginners. They have classes every day in mornings, around lunch time, and evenings, as well as a few on the weekends. There's really something for everyone. Take a look at their schedule on their website -- you'll definitely find something suitable. If you are brand new to martial arts, your best bet will either be one of the "Basic Monday" classes or (if you're a woman) one of the women's classes on the weekend (PSA: the women's Muay Thai class on Saturdays is free)! Most adults really need a way to make friends, and this is one way to both make friends, gain some really cool skills and challenge yourself mentally and physically. I cannot recommend this place enough. Black Widow MMA is a real Austin treasure. I also know they have kids classes, but as I am neither a kid or a parent with kids at Black Widow, I can't speak to them. But I do know the instructors there, and I am sure they are nothing short of amazing when it comes to teaching kids martial arts. If I had kids to deal with, I'd definitely put my trust in their instructors. Shoutout to the amazing coaches and teammates who make this place what it is--an incredibly supportive and safe environment in which to develop yourself and find a community. read more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It's difficult for me to gather all my thoughts on this gym and the amazing people who run it, and frequent it. So bear with me... First and foremost - Bitsy and Jorge have created a wonderful and welcoming community. I had been looking for a Muay Thai gym for awhile, and BWMMA is the only woman owned and female head coach in N. Austin...Actually, probably in all of Austin. She is incredibly welcoming, and above that has taught her team to mirror this as well. I came in with very little experience (3-4 months so definitely still working on the fundamentals), and the predominately male gym (at that time) was incredibly respectful and welcoming to me. The team is there to learn, teach, respect, have fun, and it truly shows. Bitsy and Jorge sometimes will say - the hardest part of going to the gym is walking through the front doors, and if you're here, you got through the hardest part. Outside of just how welcoming this gym is - Bitsy and Jorge are incredibly talented at scoping out what you do well, and what needs work. Bitsy has some amazing tidbits she shares and then all of a sudden, everything clicks. For example, I couldn't for the life of me get my foot, hip, or shoulder to rotate during a roundhouse. I took (1) private lesson with Betsabe, and I was finally able to do it properly. ONE class with her and I was able to do it! After 3-4 months of trying! If you're a woman and you're looking for a home for MT, BJJ, MMA, etc...This place is for you. If you want to just try it out and see for yourself how wonderful it is - come in on Saturdays for the free women's class between 12-1 pm. We have mimosas after! read more

Black Widow MMA is an excellent gym. The instruction provided in MMA, BJJ or Muay Thai is of top quality. Bitsy and Jorge are amazing coaches that skillfully created a dedicated and yet welcoming environment. read more

Popped in for a night to try out the jitz class with one of my buddies. Great management, great coaching and awesome members.

I was in Austin for a week and needed a place to train. I found Guerrilla Muay Thai on Yelp. I called and spoke with Bitsy who invited me to drop in and use their loaner gloves and shin guards (which were clean and good quality). The drop in rate is extremely reasonable. The gym is located in a group of warehouses; look for the small Muay Thai sign on the front. My skills are intermediate (at best) so entering a new gym can be intimidating. When I walked in I was greeted by some of the friendliest and approachable people I've ever met. They made me feel comfortable. The instructors are very skilled and the students (the nights I was there) ranged from beginner to advanced so as advertised, all skill levels are welcome. I took 2 instructional classes and one sparring class. The sparing class was well supervised and everyone was very respectful. I really enjoyed the instructional class and found it well rounded because we hit the bag, used Thai Pads and went glove to glove and shin guard to shin guard. After my last class one of the instructors Jorge was kind enough to give me one of his fight shirts. There's a real sense of community at this gym and I can tell they are on a mission to make the sport accessible to anyone who wants to learn. I can't recommend Guerrilla Muay Thai enough. read more

This is a great gym with a great community. I'm a newcomer to jiu jitsu, but everyone I've trained with has been extremely patient and helpful with me. The gym has a competitive fight team but it also classes for kids and beginners, so there's something for every skill level. Most importantly, the quality of the instruction is excellent. I'm honestly amazed at my own progress in BJJ--I've never learned new techniques so quickly before. read more
