Mata Leao Combat Sports

I have gained so much confidence and have been training here for 7 months. The Coaches are great. I like the way they teach and they are welcoming.

Training at Mata Leao has been an awesome experience. Training can be very intimidating but the vibe is very welcoming to newcomers. It is clear professor Omar cares about his students and provides excellent instruction.

Ive been coming here since the end of May. Great gym with a great culture for both beginners and BJJ veterans. I wish I would have started sooner (Don't be me, start NOW!).

I joined Mata Leao a few months ago and so far I’ve had a great experience. Since coming to this gym I’ve experienced a very welcoming community, coaches and staff. I feel strongly that my skills have improved. The class sizes are good, the workouts are great, and I see the coaches taking the time to work with all their students. It’s also challenged me to come out of my own comfort zone too.

My daughter starting doing jiu jitsu classes and muay thai classes a about a year ago. This place is the best. She's learned a ton, competed in tournaments, and made a bunch of new friends. Professor Omar and coach Haleigh have cultivated an awesome and positive community around martial arts. It has been a great and fun way for my daughter to learn valuable long term effective self defense skills and life skills as well. So much so that I began taking adult classes here as well. This gym is amazing. Highly recommend to anyone interested in being a part of the jiu jitsu community or muay thai community.

I just started here but everyone is so nice and so helpful! Highly recommend this place to anyone who's just starting out or who has been doing martial arts for awhile. Very kind people and a great community.

I’ve been training at Mata Leao for almost two months now. The environment is extremely welcoming. Great coaching staff. As a beginner to any sort of martial arts this has been a great experience so far. I’m always excited to get to class. Highly recommend this gym.

With no prior martial arts experience I started attending Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu classes at Mata Leao a little more than 4 months ago. In that relatively short amount of time I developed enough skill and confidence to compete in my first fight. The relaxed and welcoming attitude of the coaches and members kept me wanting to come back again and again. The classes are incredibly fun while also being intensive and developmental. I started out goofy and tired and now I look and feel fit and badass. The classes are never too big and I feel like I regularly get a good amount of valuable individual instruction. If you are looking for a close knit and fun gym where you can play hard and hang out with good people Mata Leao is it. I will continue training here as long as possible.

All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable and helpful at breaking every thing down. I really like how patient they are helping me to learn and grow. Being a beginner they welcomed me right into their family. I love it here!

Been at this gym for over two years now. I started not knowing anything and I am still here with some skills and a second family. If you are looking for a new place to train or just staring out come check out Mata Leao!

The most masterful lessons in Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Thai style boxing, and the most intense strength and conditioning workouts. I have had some experience in martial arts so when I say “it’s phenomenal! ” Know that I mean it. Friendly teachers and students felt unbelievably welcome.
