ABUNAI MMA

ABUNAI MMA in Avondale has an overall rating of 4.7 out of 5 based on 50 reviews. Many reviewers praise Professor Eddie and the coaching staff for being knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive. The gym offers a variety of classes including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, and Judo, with a schedule that accommodates different availability, including morning, evening, and weekend sessions. Several reviewers highlight the family-oriented environment, strong sense of community, and personal growth they’ve experienced, both physically and mentally. Some mention that the pricing is reasonable given the range of martial arts offered, and a free week trial is available for newcomers.

However, there are notable criticisms. Multiple reviews point to inconsistent class offerings, including issues with advertised early-morning sessions not running as expected. One reviewer reported being told about a 6 a.m. class that did not exist and facing disorganization around scheduling and attendance. Concerns were raised about the handling of personal information, with credit card details reportedly stored in a truck without proper filing. There are also comments about Professor Eddie’s demeanor, including complaints about his communication, fatigue, and temper, particularly regarding a parking incident outside business hours. While many have had positive experiences, these recurring issues have led some to strongly advise against joining.
