Welcome to United MMA East Mesa, AZ
We are a family style gym & a great place to get your MMA journey started. We like to create well rounded martial artists. We do this by training 3 main focuses of MMA. Standing, take downs & ground fighting. Each one of these categories consists of many styles. We work on striking specifically for MMA, we mix wrestling and judo style take downs while incorporating a No-Gi Jiu Jitsu game. Being well rounded in these 3 areas allows us to effectively choose where a fight takes place, giving our students the best opportunity to shut down their opponents offence in the safest most defining way possible. We have an open - minded philosophy on techniques and are constantly studying and incorporating techniques.

I'm a 32 year old dad and a beginner in MMA and juijitsu. I've been training here for a few months and it's been amazing. Coach Mike has built an awesome culture and team here. No egos, just people trying to get better.

My son is 12 and has been going to United MMA East Mesa and training with Mike for 3 months now. Mike is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and motivates the children without pushing them to the point of burning out. Mike is awesome at laying a great foundation while having fun, and we look forward to watching the gym and ourselves grow together through mutual combat.
Ty is one of the members that helps with the kids classes as well and is a great bonus for the gym and team. Very patient and kind but also knowledgeable. Always a good day when he walks in.
Gym is kept very clean at all times, and has bathroom and water amenities. 10/10 would recommend this to anyone looking build a solid mma foundation.

Absolutely incredible MMA gym! Coach Mike is outstanding—his knowledge of all levels of MMA is truly impressive, and he’s amazing with kids. He has a unique way of balancing discipline with encouragement, making every session fun yet productive. Coach Mike is particularly gentle and patient with the younger kids, fostering a supportive environment where they learn skills and respect for the sport. My son looks forward to every single training session and is always eager to go back. This gym is a gem for anyone looking to grow in MMA, from beginners to advanced students. Highly recommend!

Amazing gym! Extremely clean, well-organized, and inviting atmosphere that is welcoming to all levels and backgrounds.
Overall, this is a one-stop shop for MMA training. You get instruction for Muay Thai/Striking, Wrestling and Judo/Takedowns, NoGi Jiu-Jitsu, and even fun ways to do cardio if MMA isn't your thing.
The main instructor Mike is EXTREMELY knowledgeable given his striking background combined with a solid jiu-jitsu game.
I highly recommend this gym as you can learn a complete self-defense system in one place instead of needing several different memberships.

Love this gym! I started coming here a couple of months ago, and from day one, the focus has been on building a solid foundation and mastering the fundamentals—striking, takedowns, and defense. I’ve especially enjoyed the no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes. Each session provides just the right amount of information and instruction to avoid being overwhelming while still helping you develop new skills. Mike’s coaching is phenomenal. Every week, we focus on a specific skill, like takedowns, and then dive into everything related to it, such as defenses. Sparring in each session has been incredibly beneficial for solidifying concepts. If you’re looking for the best MMA gym, give them a call!

Mike knows what he’s talking about. Comes from a real MMA gym in California, plus jiu jitsu from an old school no gi instructor. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Been taking from Mike since middle school and couldn’t be happier with how much I’ve learned and all that I’ve been able to accomplish through him and his school. We learn how to perfect each technique we do and don’t cut corners. Because of this I have placed in several of my BJJ tournaments I have done and have been able to continually improve on my striking each training session. Not only that but the environment is absolutely great and everyone helps to improve each others skill and self-esteem.

Ive been training here since 2016 and have trained other places as well but nowhere is as attentive and helpful as United MMA, its personal mma training which you won’t be able to recieve at any other gym. I strongly recommend if your new to the sport or have been training 10 years, no matter your level your striking and grappling will most definitely improve.

All three of my boys have trained with United MMA for the last six years. My oldest son is now competing at the next level and placing in the top 3 at major tournaments. Mike is a phenomenal instructor and understands the value of what he’s teaching his students. Don’t hesitate to sign your kids, or even yourself up for something that will help build confidence and a life skill that will benefit you and them forever.

Mike let me come by and sit in for a session. He knows his stuff, from a professional standpoint, and obviously is full of valuable experience that he obviously loves to share!
Mike and those that he is training are clearly doing good things over there, definitely suggest you check them out if you're interested in lessons for you or your kids!
