Danzig MMA

Fantastic experience: Danzig MMA is truly a special place. Whether you are new to the sport or an experienced practitioner, this is the place to go for MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, and BJJ in Bend, OR.  Mac & Angie are in the gym every day practicing what they preach right alongside their students. They are battle-tested warriors who still compete while remaining humble and approachable. Their vast knowledge of techniques (which they learned from the best) are explained in a way that is palatable and applicable for practitioners ranging from inexperienced to advanced.  And if you decide to compete, you'll have someone in your corner who's calm and confident in a fight scenario due to the many times they've both entered the ring. You'll be delighted if you become a member of this gym.

Fantastic experience: Stopped in for the 11pm nogi class. Very clean academy and top notch instruction. I will definitely be back !!

Fantastic experience: First and only place I've ever trained at and I can't say enough great things about Mac and Angela as well as the rest of the instructors. Highly recommend coming in and checking the place out during a class if you are interested or curious about the gym.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for both their jiu-jitsu and muay thai classes. Super welcoming environment, great instruction, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at this gym for several years, and I couldn't have made a better choice. Mac's a winner of The Ultimate Fighter and a UFC pro that's earned Fight of the Night 3 times and Knockout of the Night (check out his Wikipedia page). Black belt in BJJ. He's spent his life training with the toughest people on the planet. Mac and Angie both have a very deep understanding of what they teach that's been tested and proven. You'd be lucky to find a gym of this caliber in a major city, let alone in Bend. They're the real deal. Mac and Angie are also two of the friendliest and kindest people you'll ever meet. They care deeply about helping their students progress and learn, from beginners to experts, and have built an incredible and welcoming community that help each other improve. Classes are fun, safe, a great workout, and you can take it slow until you get comfortable if you're new to MMA. If you're looking to be inspired, get in shape, make new friends, safely learn to defend yourself and have fun doing it, then this is hands-down the best gym in Oregon. This place will change your life for the better. Challenge yourself. Stop wasting time and go check it out!

Fantastic experience: I cannot speak highly enough of having the privilege of training at Danzig MMA. Having had instructors from many different arts for a lot of years, this is the place you want to learn at. Amazing instructors and instruction from the basic to high technical movements.

Fantastic experience: We're super lucky to have world class instruction here in Bend! Danzig MMA is a great place to train with solid training partners, and Mac and Angela really care about the progression of their students.

Fantastic experience: I've been with Danzig Mma for a little over 2 years now... I have progressed so much from where I was in personal ability and confidence and I owe it all to Mac and Angela. Best gym in the Bend area hands down!

Fantastic experience: If you know, this is where you go. The best BJJ and Striking gym in Bend, by far.

Fantastic experience: I started out at Danzig MMA knowing absolutely nothing about Brazilian jiu jitsu. Mac , Angie and their trusted coaches at Danzig MMA absolutely fostered me from an unknowing, unskilled , white belt. To a competent, competitive blue belt. Wether youre looking to get into the sport as a hobbyist, to train self defense, or want to compete in a sport jiu jitsu tournament, this is the place to start. Not only are the coaches top level but the community they have built around a love for the sport, is unparalleled. Could not have asked for a better place to start my journey and I highly recommend giving Danzig MMA a chance. See you on the mats!

Fantastic experience: Friendly, clean enviorment. Definitely coming back

Fantastic experience: Stopped in for a no-gi noon class. Mac is a great instructor. I felt very welcome there. They let me use the shower at the end too. Would come here again for sure.

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn to fight for self-defense or for sport Mac and Angie are amazing teachers. Both of them have had their metal tested at the highest level. They are experienced fighters/martial artists that truly understand their craft. They are extremely invested in their students progress as martial artist and Will teach you at a level that’s appropriate for your skill level while Simultaneously pushing you and challenge you to go to the next level. If you want to learn Muay Thai kickboxing/grappling/MMA this is the place to go.

Fantastic experience: Mac Danzig is legit as they come and his wife Angela is amazing too. The two of them have created the best gym for Jiu Jitsu, boxing and Muay Thai. They have world class knowledge of these disciplines and they know Mixed Martial Arts inside and out. On top of their knowledge of combat, they are also amazing individuals. Love them and love this place

Fantastic experience: Great environment, great instructors, overall great experience. I will definitely be returning to Damzig MMA

Fantastic experience: Mac and Angie are awesome people that focus on creating a positive environment for all of their students, and are accomplished martial artists at the highest level of the game. They focus on teaching solid fundamentals and coaching self-confidence. You would do well by training at Danzig MMA. BJJ, boxing, kickboxing, and MMA classes are on the schedule.

Fantastic experience: Great Teachers and Great Environment. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn MMA.

Fantastic experience: I’m so happy I moved to Oregon that has an amazing gym and teachers like Mac and Angela there skills are legit, I couldn’t ask for anything better. There dedication to teaching is top notch an it shows in every class..blessed to be a part of Danzing MMA.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at Danzig MMA for a year now. I entered with great trepidation as I am not an athlete and a bit older. What a great place! Mac and Angela have a ton of technical experience and are happy to teach it. Whether you are beginner or already a ninja Danzig MMA is a great place to train. Mac and Angela have done a great job of building a community of students eager to learn without a lot of ego you may find elsewhere. Definitely check it out!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of training with Mac and Angela Danzig when they taught in Los Angeles. Whether you are a beginner, a hobbyist, or someone who is interested in professional fighting, Danzig MMA will be the place for you. Mac is one of the best combat sport instructors I have ever met, and he is also a true martial artist. Under Mac you can learn high-level wrestling, submission grappling, and striking. However, the aspect of his teaching I found most valuable was his ability to stitch it all together in MMA. Mac is also the type of teacher who does not create cookie cutter molds of his own game or style. He has the ability and expertise to help you grow as your own martial artist and develop your own unique abilities. He is able to create a fun, challenging, and intellectual environment for learning. I highly recommend training at this gym!

Fantastic experience: It is very rare to find such a high level coach who is willing to work one on one with all skill levels, take advantage of this opportunity that is being given. Mac is an MMA legend and one of the most knowledgeable coaches in the game. I’ve had a lot of coaches in my life so far and I can honestly say Mac is the highest level, yet most down to earth, friendly and welcoming coach I have ever had. Whether you’re a beginner on your first day, or a pro, Danzig MMA will welcome you all the same. You won’t find a better coach in Oregon, Mac is top of the line.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Mac and Angela for over a year and I have to say I learned more quality BJJ with them than with the rest of all my other teachers. Mac is by far one of the best instructors I've had including teachers, professors, etc. He creates a strong team with solid fundamentals and killer finishes. You'll know what it feels like to roll with a PRO. Could not recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: I’ve trained under Mac Danzig for the better part of two years. I first trained with Mac as an admirer of his fighting career in Pride and the UFC, but I quickly realized that he is undoubtably the most knowledgeable and thoughtful coach I’ve ever had. Mac has decades of experience training at an elite level, but he knows how to distill his technical and strategic knowledge to beginners that exemplifies how thoroughly he understands fighting. It is rare to find someone with the combination of compassion and world class fighting ability that Mac has, and I couldn’t recommend working with him and Angela enough. Angela and Mac are stand up hardworking people, and you’re hard pressed to find better people to train under.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been there for 4 months now. Great place to learn. Mac and Angie are amazing people who provide a safe and exciting atmosphere to learn in.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve ever trained at! Mac and Angie are the best coaches you could ask for, very down to earth and amazing people. Everyone their is super welcoming and nice. Overall an absolutely amazing place to train, if you wanna Learn high level skills from two of the best then come and train here!!

Fantastic experience: Best of the best. #1 MMA trainer in Oregon.

Fantastic experience: Seen multiple 'fighters' from this gym get into brawls at jiu jitsu competitions. Disgraceful. All I needed to see to never recommend this establishment to anyone. EDIT: I really appreciate the response from the owner here. I will fully admit that I have no first hand experience in training at this gym, just observations as an avid jiu jitsu competitor and coach. If those observations are incorrect I will happily adjust my opinions correctly. I will change my review until I can have a conversation with someone from this gym. I completely understand the potential ramifications a bad google review can have. If I have an impression I want for it to be based in fact. I don't want my review to be deleted, so I will change to 5 stars and seek a conversation as the owner offered.

Fantastic experience: Just checked this gym out while in town from Boston. Its clean, its legit, all the people there are welcoming, and its for all levels. Mac is a super cool guy, very friendly. Ill definitely be returning every chance I get while I am here in Bend. If you're in the area trying gyms out and looking to start somewhere, I absolutely recommend this one.

Fantastic experience: I met Mac and Angela In Los Angeles and trained with them for over a year. In retrospect I was spoiled to have such a great coach as my first MMA and BJJ instructor. Mac and Angela have absolutely zero ego and are always willing to go the extra mile to develop their students skills as well as relationships. If you want quality instruction and a quality facility, Danzig MMA is the school. For future mma champions as well as humble hobbyist, you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Five stars is not nearly enough to give this facility. My grappling has improved tremendously since joining just over a month ago. The learning atmosphere and quality teaching is beyond my expectations and I could not recommend joining this gym enough.

Fantastic experience: I really liked training at Danzig MMA. I came in on short notice with my son and the folks there were really cool. Top notch instruction in both ground game and stand up. Definitely worth a visit.
