Oakdale Mixed Martial Arts

Jan 2024

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.
