About Oakdale Mixed Martial Arts
Oakdale MMA has the best training environment among many other MMA gyms in Northern California, making it a standout for welcoming newcomers and fostering respect among students and teachers alike. Trainers are well-regarded, including a standout professor and fighter with excellent instructional techniques, especially in boxing. This training facility teaches practical skills, respecting martial arts' original purposes for the development of the mind, body, and spirit, unlike others focused solely on teaching methods and giving out belts. Many positive things are shared by family members with diverse experience backgrounds in various martial arts and multiple classes taught to age-specific groups show different characteristics like clear behavioral guidelines.

Having trained at other MMA gyms around Northern California. I can honestly say Oakdale MMA had by far the best training and the most welcoming environment I have walked into. Thank you to Tom, Lori, Justin, and all the other coaches for creating such an awesome environment to train in.
Oakdale MMA is the best training facility I have found since Texas. The quality of instruction and level of respect that teachers have for students and students for teachers is unparalleled. My son learned BJJ and I take kickboxing. I was a Tang Soo Do instructor in Round Rock Texas and this Academy reminds me so much of the strong appreciation for creating a solid mind, body, and spirit with children and adults of all ages. Professor Tom, literally is a professor, with the character and demeanor of a true master and teacher. This is not a place that sells belts or teaches irrelevant defense/offense styles- it is practical and functional in every class I have seen and participated in. One instructor, Justin, for example, is a professional on all levels and a great fighter. He is great at all disciplines but in boxing, he has solid recommendations and training techniques to help you "tighten up" your game. You can learn something- practical skills and respect- at Oakdale MMA!
My son turned 4 and we decided to enroll him in many clubs and activities to see where his passion lies. I have heard many great things about this business but have felt too old and unatheletic to attend myself. They have a pedigree of training state level fighters which might have intimidated me. We turned up today for the free trial session. Half the town way here . These guys have a big following. There was a strict code of honor required by the instructors for the children. Bowing, shaking hands and thanking the opponent for the opportunity to fight. My son being in the 4-7 yr age group was very impressionable and looking to the older children for correct behavior. The instructor/owner was patient yet inspiring and was so engaged I couldn't have looked for a better role model to help educate my son to be a respectful young man yet also inspire him to gain a passion for MMA. Having spent 4 years learning judo when I was young. I can say that this place has a different quality and feel to it than I was shown.The staff (owner?) in the shop were welcoming and approachable. I hope my son maintains an interest as well, as I feel there is a true friendship to be gained from being a member here. I see enough windscreens stickers throughout town to see the popularity this dojo has.
