The community, the overall vibe, the cute pups, Professor Dwayne, Coach Erin, the commitment to cleanliness, the coaches and all the people that train here all make this school special. We are even planning on moving to Sandy just to be closer since we are practically there everyday . We highly recommend for the entire family.

This is a certified Gracie school with knowledgeable instructors with great personalities and a…read moregood group of regular adult students (I don't know what the junior classes are like). The place is clean, and the mats regularly sanitized, and there is good parking in the back. The schedule makes for a full calendar, instead of some kind of Tuesday Thursday thing like a lot of other places. They have regular classes every night and alternating mornings for both beginners and master cycle members. I was looking for a place to work out that could maximize my weekly schedule. I researched a lot of places in SLC including styles that I am much more familiar with before deciding to try this school. Really, my main concern was finding a school that was well run that had a schedule with classes every night. That meant that there had to be instructors AND students at the school on as many nights as possible. So, I can't say I had many preconceived ideas about the Gracie style before checking them out. I have since been impressed with Ryan and Aidan and their easy teaching style. While I now realize that each class is a well defined product of the Gracie system, you still have to have a connection with your students to engage the class and make it fun. These guys deliver. If you haven't checked out a Gracie school before, or you want to get your start in the martial arts with a super well managed style, then this is really the place to be. A month later, I am raising this to five stars. I am a huge fan of Ryan and Aiden's style of teaching, and I've even lost 12 pounds.

I am in town for a convention and I train Jiujitsu at Island Jiujitsu in Hawaii. I showed up to a…read morebasic adult class with some brand new guys in it. There were plenty white belts and the instructor was a blue belt. He started with text book self defense for guillotine and some good basic arm bar from mount details. His instruction was thorough and he addressed the questions from the class well. I liked that he wasn't shaken by having a higher belt in his class and he catered to the beginners as it is a beginner class (fundamentals are key). I would also give credit to whoever has been training Logan because his lessons are clear and easy to follow. I hope to get back for an advanced class and possibly some sparring. No doubt these are Gracie details being handed down.

I attended the Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai classes during my stay. All staff, instructors, and students were very welcoming, friendly, and respectful. Of the classes I took, Pedro and Joel were the instructors and you can immediately tell they both have extensive experience. Their instruction, approach, knowledge, and interaction are all reasons for anyone to come in and experience this gym. If you are looking for a place to train permanently or if you are just in town and want to get good quality work in, you can't go wrong at Sierra MMA. Thank you Pedro for the hospitality, I will definitely be back in during my next visit to Utah.

All of the coaches and professors are great! I seem to visit on the days Abe instructs the most. I really enjoy his teaching style and attention to small detail. Even when you mess up the technique of the day (and trust me, I mess up a lot!), he's always so patient. He corrects you in a way that doesn't leave you frustrated, which then leads to better retention of the techniques learned in class. All in all, great gym! If you live in Salt Lake, look no further for a home gym. Friendly, clean, instructors with a wealth of knowledge. See you on the mats!

My son (7) is enrolled in this school. Before joining BIMA my son was enrolled in another school…read more So, I have experience with these type of schools. My son started going to BIMA in Feb 2019. At BIMA, they provide quality education that not only focuses on martial art techniques, but also discipline and respect (for the instructors, the facility, the experience, and one another). The instructors are great with kids. They are firm, but gentle. They seem to really care about each student's success. And, as a result, BIMA kids are really engaged in their education. When my son registered in a tournament, one of the coaches went to the tournament to mentor him, which was really awesome. When I asked my son what he loves about BIMA he said he loves the instructors and learning all the cool techniques. If you are looking for a martial arts school for your kid, look no further. BIMA is awesome!

I had sparred many individuals but it seemed like only a couple were considerate of the nature of actually hurting someone. I had individuals kick at the knees with power and some commit to flying knees when they got frustrated. I ended up leaving earlier than the full class schedule because having two different fighters not knowing control decided to get frustrated and try to hurt their partner. As someone who provides for his family, and who knows control in the ring, the same respect wasn't shown from my sparring partners. In the end it's partially the fighters, but it falls on the coaches to maintain a safe environment for those wanting to train effectively and safely. Anyone can throw power, but ego fighting is the stance at this gym.
