Burgess Academy of BJJ and MMA, Manchester NH

Best Gym in New England. I’ve gotten to meet & train with a bunch of pro fighters and only been going here a year. 100% recommended if you want to train seriously or just for a workout.

Lovely people all around to help you grow and better yourself as a person all while learning to defend yourself and take home real fighting skill and knowledge.

Incredibly welcoming and training focused. I have been to schools where any new guy gets met with a bunch of ego and aggression and this place does not feel like that. Everyone is extremely nice and the amount of talent is incredible. Overall the best experience I've had at a martial arts school. Nate is a great dude with a great attitude, really feel like you are making the right decision walking through the door.

Burgess Academy is an amazing martial arts gym. I always look forward to training here and have a blast each time. The instructors are exceptionally down to earth, knowledgeable, and capable martial artists. I hope I am able to train here forever.

If you want to start training jiu-jitsu, boxing, kickboxing, this is the place. Best team of coaches. Started over a year ago and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for my BJJ training. I’ve been a member off and on for 8 years. My whole family loves this place. You’re treated like family, you learn the ins and outs of the mma world. Every one, especially women should learn BJJ and more importantly they should learn from here!

I got to train with these guys for a few months while in town for work and had a great experience. The coaches are awesome and very experienced. The atmosphere is super welcoming, and you’ll get a great workout. I definitely learned a lot and will be back anytime I’m in town. I highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area.

It's fine. Probably the best place for this in the area since there aren't many of them.

The pricing is really good and the amount of different types of martial arts classes is nice so you can focus on grappling or striking or whatever you want to focus on. The owner is actually an active instructor which is good and more I can say about some other schools nearby, and you can tell he and the other instructors do care about what they do which is very important. There is a very strong sense of camaraderie they try to cultivate after and between classes.

None of the instructors here are anyone I'd rank in my best martial arts teacher list that ive had over the years except maybe the muay Thai guy on Saturday, he's pretty good. The owner is overly cautious in my opinion, you need to be here 6 months for MMA classes and wear all this protection to spar so that's not great for me. And like I said, neither he or the other instructors except the muay Thai guy are amazing teachers in my opinion, they're fine. And I don't enjoy all the kids running around the mat all the time.

Overall, this place is okay. Probably best in the area.

Most challenging gym I’ve been too, I mean this in the best way. You will leave knowing you put in some real work. Everyone is welcoming and laid back.

This Academy is by far the best place to learn mixed martial arts. Clean, professional, and a very welcoming atmosphere. I was accepted and encouraged as soon as I walked in the door. Which is a really big deal when you are trying something completely new, and challenging, especially as an adult. The coaches are all very knowledgeable.with over decades of experience. Burgess is extremely team oriented, and the culture is very warm. Students train and learn with actual professional fighters and competitors, and there are so many classes available, I really can train any time that's convenient for me! And they are USA Boxing Certified!

I would highly recommend training here. After trying other gyms, this is the only dojo I will ever join. They offer a free full week trial for new students, no strings attached. But trust me, you're gonna wanna sign up! Can't say enough good things about Burgess.

Burgess is awesome. Lots of space and everyone is friendly and helpful. Nate is super knowledgeable and will definitely help you improve your game.

Best mma gym there is. Not only will you learn all the skills you need to rapidly improve but you'll also get in great shape. Nate is one of the most knowledge guys around and is high level in all aspects of mma. I wouldn't want to learn from anyone else. If you're in NH it would be a mistake to go to any other gym.

Burgess is an awesome place to train, going into my first class I felt welcomed and encouraged. This gym is very team oriented with fantastic coaches who are very knowledgeable. A great place for beginner or advanced training.

Great people, great atmosphere. My husband and 7 yr old son went there and had a great experience. I wouldn't recommend any other place.

No matter your age, size, or current skill level, the people here at Burgess will help you improve.

If you're looking to get in shape, want to learn to protect yourself or the ones around you, or even if your just looking for a group of individuals that genuinely care about your progression? This is the place to be.
