Revolution Mixed Martial Arts

Fantastic experience: I can’t express enough how much this dojo has meant to me. From the very first class, I felt welcomed like family. The instructors are not only incredibly skilled and knowledgeable, but they also genuinely care about each student’s growth, both on and off the mats. Their approach to teaching is patient, encouraging, and tailored to help each individual improve at their own pace. The environment here is supportive and inclusive, making it the perfect place for both beginners and advanced practitioners. The emphasis on respect, discipline, and teamwork creates an atmosphere where everyone can thrive. It’s more than just learning Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; it’s about building confidence, developing perseverance, and becoming part of a community. Revolution help me grow not only in my technique but also in my mindset, and I know that’s thanks to the positive energy this dojo fosters. Whether you're looking to compete or just want to improve your fitness and self-defense, this dojo is the place to be. I’m incredibly grateful for the friendships I’ve made and the knowledge I’ve gained here. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Since starting at revolution, my son has shown incredible growth, not just in his physical abilities but also in his confidence and discipline. The coaches are phenomenal - they are patient, supportive, and really know how to connect with kids, making training fun while still pushing them to reach their full potential. The gym has a positive, family-like atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and encouraged. I couldn't be happier with the progress my son is making at revolution and highly recommend it to any parent looking for a top-notch MMA program for their child!

Fantastic experience: Son and husband have been going multiple times a week for a couple years now. We have loved it since the beginning. They are like a second family we are grateful to be apart of. If you are looking to get your kids or even whole family into a good hobby this is definitely the best place to go!

Fantastic experience: I loved it there! Thought about maybe about doing ju jitsu. She’s so nice! And always so helpful. I had so much anxiety and it helped a lot with that! And the people are pretty cool too! I was also very shy. But they encourage me to keep going. They are awesome!

Negative experience: Not an inclusive environment at all but that might be expected for this type of place. Rude and mean. Scammy. Mean teacher made his son cry in front of whole class unnecessarily. It was so uncomfortable I just didn't go back. Toxic.

Fantastic experience: Good job Coach!! I hope to be back soon!

Fantastic experience: Adult MMA for beginners and advanced students! Great gym family!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place to train. Very welcoming. Hard training. I go for Jiu Jitsu and their Jiu Jitsu is top notch and a lot of good people to train with. You learn self defense and a sport all in one. Kids Jiu Jitsu program is amazing. If you're looking to get yourself or your kids involved in a Martial Art I highly recommend Revolution. They also offer kickboxing as well which that class is packed as well.

Fantastic experience: Love Revolution! Locally owned and family friendly! My family of 4, including children ages 5 and 10 have been attending Brazilian Jujitsu classes since July. We have had a wonderful experience with classes here. The kids are gaining confidence and life skills in a safe and fun environment. Abby, the owner/instructor really cares about people. My husband injured his knee and was out recovering from surgery missing a few months but Abby stayed in communication checking in throughout and offering support and advice upon his return. He’s able to structure is learning around the still sensitive knee. I recommend and will continue to recommend Revolution to anyone looking to train in jujitsu or kickboxing.

Fantastic experience: This place has become my family’s second home. Abby and all the instructors are very welcoming and treat you as if they’ve known you your whole life. I recommend Revolution to everyone be it exercise, self defense and the kiddos for after school activities.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best MMA place to go. Weather it's kickboxing or ju jitsu. Mrs.Abby can get u there. Family friendly kids and Adults all welcome. Classes Mon thru Friday. Want to get in shape, self defense, or learn to compete Mrs. Abby is ur girl. My son loves it and I do too.

Fantastic experience: The best MMA gym in Arkansas. Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel like family. Amazing place to bring your kids. Coming from somebody who’s never done any kind of sport growing up, lots of social anxiety, the instructors and members are willing to step aside and break things down for you to understand, they are extremely encouraging. I wouldn’t want to train anywhere else! 100/10

Fantastic experience: I trained here when I was younger now my son gets to receive the same great training I did and I’m back to training again as well! Best gym around by far excellent instructors with an amazing kids program. I highly suggest checking it out!

Fantastic experience: Newcomers need not fear. Revolution MMA is a wonderful space for anyone looking to begin training. Classes are in a relaxed atmosphere with challenging workouts presented while you take everything at your own pace. Instructors are knowledgeable; training almost seems as if second-nature to them. The patience is definitely appreciated as well as the attentiveness. Overall, a good gym to train at with a variety of students all reaching for their own goals.

Fantastic experience: I went by during my stay in Hot Springs & attended their BJJ evening class. Professor Abby is very technical and it was a great school culture. I recommend this gym for all ages! Very good instruction & workout.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic experience! Our youngest has been taking jujitsu here for a year and his confidence and body awareness have both really elevated in that time. Patient but firm teachers that really help him be his best! Priceless lessons for him at an affordable price for mom.

Fantastic experience: My fiancé has been coming to this gym for over a year, and I’ve seen how much he improves on his skills. Abby is a great professor and teaches wonderfully! This is definitely a gym that’s like home, and people who are family! I highly recommend coming to this gym! It’s worth the five starts!

Fantastic experience: They have kickboxing and jiujitsu at this gym. I went here around the time. I was 16. Then I took a 12 years Hiatus. so I was really nerves coming back. I love Abby and Jory. The environment has always felt like family. Jory did sadly past away. He was the best. Abby is a really great teacher. She is great kids and adults. Plenty of teacher Ryan, Ashley and Josh. I been a teacher Assistant before. Which is really cool in my book. I help the kids to they call me Mr. Joe. I always learn something new in jiujitsu

Fantastic experience: This MMA Gym has to be one of the best in the entire state! The lead instructor at this location has helped me far beyond what's required of a coach. She's helped me address parts of my War-torn PTSD that I thought I never would recover from. She's been a friend, a mentor, and a wonderful leader! Under that tutelage, I've been able to obtain Sponsorship from the We Defy Foundation. I NEVER thought I would have been able to get sponsorship as an Athlete, but here we are! This place isn't just a Martial Arts Gym... It's a community of acceptance and love! God bless this place.

Fantastic experience: “PROFESSIONAL STAFF, OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTORS, OVERALL GREAT PLACE….If you are looking for a place for your children or yourself to gain good athletic skills or simply get in shape, then this is the place to go. Revolution’s professional staff and facility provides the adequate safe training you need to obtain your goals. Without a doubt, Revolution is setting the standards for other gyms to follow. They are a leader inside this industry. The best way to see what I am mentioning is to try their trial program.”

Fantastic experience: The Malones are the best. Whether it is BJJ or Kickboxing, you cant bet the high level instruction you will get at their school. High level competitors that truly care about their students.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for the real deal, Revolution MMA is it! I visited there to try out one of their classes before I signed up. They offer Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, kids martial arts, one-on-one coaching, and personal development. I get bored with regular exercise classes and wanted something that would challenge me while getting me into shape. Each exercise and movement in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is getting me more and more into shape and I love it. The instructors are really knowledgeable and patient with you. They push you but not to the point that you fail. They want to help you succeed and learn the discipline well. I have really enjoyed training at Revolution MMA while in town.

Fantastic experience: I heard about Revolution from a friend who had nothing but wonderful things to say. My son had been asking about doing some martial arts so we went and watched a class. He was definitely interested in the trial class. I was amazed at how well he did. Signed him up and started regular classes immediately. He has learned so much in the time he has been there it's unreal. He's not just learning self defense, but learning to be a respectful, helpful, healthy, caring little man. I have been pleasantly surprised to watch him grow with each class. He's much more athletic, coordinated, focused... Already. We're truly blessed that we were sent to Revolution and very thankful for all Professor and Mrs Abby do. We also had my sons birthday party there. We've had a lot of parties in a lot of places and theirs was definitely the best to date. We are thankful to be at Revolution. Love - Amy & Aiden

Fantastic experience: Let me just start off by saying thank you so much to Abby and josh .Revolution mma is an amazing place to learn for all levels whether you're just starting out for the first time or you're advanced. The technics i learn training jiu-jitsu helps with gaining confidence teaches discipline and if you stick with it you gain family as well I can honestly say it feels like home and I've only been there 2 months.

Fantastic experience: I enrolled my son to help with self-esteem and to work with some sensory issues! He has moved mountains! The coaches have been kind and patient and encouraging! A great group of people that my family loves! The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming! So great to be a part of such an amazing group of people

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for six years and it has been a wonderful place to do Brazilian ju-jitsu. All the people there are nice and as a student I have always like how the instructors always help you whenever you need it.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I have been going here for almost two years now, great place and great people.

Fantastic experience: Got my blue belt here over 10 years ago. Stopped training due to starting a restaurant but have recently started training again. The experience I gained here has lasted over the 10 year hiatus and I have picked right back up where I left off. Abby and Jory are great people and they deserve all the success in the world. God bless you guys!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training since 2020. I started with the kickboxing class to try to shake up my workout and revamp my weight loss while Gaining mobility. I soon started jujitsu and got hooked! The instructors are wonderful and the gym has a very welcoming atmosphere. There are people training here of all skill and ability levels . All of which have welcomed me in and worked with me to help me work towards my goals. All in all, a great gym with great people!

Fantastic experience: Abby is a GREAT teacher. I’m new to BJJ but she always makes it easy!! I love it

Fantastic experience: Great place to get learn how to fight and get in shape at the same time. Great coaching and teammates. It’s worth every penny

Fantastic experience: I have been doing martial arts for a number of years and love Revolution MMA. Abby is a great coach, who helps individuals expand their mental and physical limits. She takes the time to understand you and your daily struggles so she can help you inside and outside of the gym.

Fantastic experience: I practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here and have participated in kickboxing classes. It is a great place to train. Abby Malone, owner, is a great leader and instructor. The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. Everyone is friendly and supportive. You are made to feel like family here. You will get into shape fast and learn how to protect yourself.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to get a great workout and learn self defense. Abby is an awesome instructor for both adults and children. I have been to many gyms and training classes and believe me you will know the difference of training with Abby. She is a World Champion in Jiu Jitsu. This is the best training class my wife and I have ever attended.

Fantastic experience: Abby is an amazing teacher. Where most workout classes focus on trying to get you bikini ready and looking good she focuses on strength and being able to defend yourself. I have been to many workout classes and she always takes the time to stop and go over everything and never gets rude. She also genuinely encourages you and you can tell she means it. If you’re on the struggle bus she will modify something for you. If you have an injury she will work around it because she wants what is best for you. She truly is an amazing teacher and she truly does amazing work. I have been going for a month now and can already see a difference in my fitness level improving. If anyone wants to learn how to defend themselves AND get healthy I will always recommend this place. It also helps that she loads everything online so if you’re out of town you have access to the classes so you always get your money’s worth.

Fantastic experience: We love Revolution MMA! My son has been going there over a year now and he loves it. Abby is a fabulous instructor. She is serious about training the kids, and yet is gentle, understanding, and fun as well. I can't recommend this place enough. All kids - boys, girls, no matter the age - should try it out.

Fantastic experience: Great quality instruction, family atmosphere and effective fitness and high end martial arts training!

The trainers are knowledgeable, patient, and helpful. Everyone is friendly and supportive. You are made to feel like family here. You will get into shape fast and learn how to protect yourself.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this gym for kickboxing for about six months now. I absolutely love it. I am putting on muscle and losing inches. The classes are fun and interactive. Abby and Brooke are great instructors and will work with you to get you where you need to be. I highly recommend this place. Everyone here is very encouraging.

Fantastic experience: My son joined at 8 years old because a friend of his stood up to a kid that was bullying him. I asked the kid’s mother where he developed that kind of confidence and strength of character. She told us that he was taking Jiu Jitsu at Revolution. So we had our son sign up and he loved it. Two years later I decided to try it out to lose weight and get in better shape. Even though I am in my mid 40’s, I’ve lost over 50 pounds in a year and dramatically improved my physical condition z It is a great place for families to develop a hobby that everyone can participate in.

Fantastic experience: Four of my daughters have been attending for over a year now and they love it. The instructors are great and it gives me peace of mind knowing my girls are learning a great tool that allows them to be fit and defend themselves.

Fantastic experience: We are very grateful to Abby and Jory for providing not only quality jujitsu training for our son but also for life education.

Fantastic experience: Best place we have ever been to. I take both of my boys twice a week. They are taught basic skills such as respect in addition to Jujitsu. Abby does a great job with the kids. I highly recommend this place to anyone interested.

Fantastic experience: The training I have received at Revolution has changed my life. I’m in better shape than I have been in many years and lost over 50lbs training. The instruction is world class and the training partners couldn’t be better. I would recommend anybody who is interested in training to come challenge themselves and see first hand. Im lucky to have the opportunity so close to home and the hours perfect for training after school and work. Both Jory and Abby are great instructors and have such a wealth of knowledge and experience to share.

Fantastic experience: I take the adult BJJ classes and I really enjoy it! It's a great way to get a workout in and meet new people, whether you are looking to compete or just have fun.

Fantastic experience: World class instruction in a family friendly environment. Great for all ages and skill level. Definitely the place to train if looking for martial arts in central Arkansas.

Fantastic experience: I have been training at this gym for kickboxing for about six months now. I absolutely love it. I am putting on muscle and losing inches. The classes are fun and interactive. Abby and Brooke are great instructors and will work with you to get you where you need to be. I highly recommend this place. Everyone here is very encouraging.

Fantastic experience: We love Revolution!!! The instructors are so knowledgeable and really care about your kids or yourself. They provide a wonderfully well rounded program at all stages of learning.

Fantastic experience: I’m honestly not sure how I would have made it through the stresses of college and hourly commutes everyday if I didn’t have kickboxing to look forward to every week. The workouts are fun and they’ve made me stronger than I’ve ever been. Abby and Jory are awesome instructors and allow you to work at your own pace (fast or slow). The gym has many experienced students that are happy to pass their knowledge to newcomers that show an interest in learning. Altogether a positive environment for building strength in the body and mind.

Fantastic experience: The Coaches at Revolution MMA (Jory & Abby Malone) have done a great job with both myself and my 14 year old son's self esteem, and self confidence as well as our physical fitness. It has brought my Son and I closer together, and we both look forward to classes each week. Coach Jory goes the extra mile with hands on demonstration and does multiple repetition to make sure you feel comfortable with the technique. These guys genuinely care and treat you like family. The atmosphere is relaxed and no muscleheads trying to prove themselves on lower ranking members, and the higher belts are always helping the junior belts with technique and skill set.

Fantastic experience: We were new to Benton when my son started here in an attempt to keep him off the video games and become more active. Over 2 years later we are still here and I am so please with all he has learned! The coaches not only teach JiuJitsu with a safe and professional manner but the importance of good grades and being friends to other children are lessons many kids are lacking these days. I have no worry about bullies or another child being bullied in front of my son. Abby and Jory have taught him and the other children all the steps to take before resorting to defensive measures. I'm so proud of him and the coaches. Money well spent for peace of mind and ensuring your child will never become the victim.

Fantastic experience: The adult BJJ program at Revolution MMA is an excellent program that provides adults self confidence, exercise and life saving techniques. The instructors provide a relaxed atmosphere and thoroughly explain techniques. I have trained at Revolution MMA for almost three years and I still look forward to every class.

Fantastic experience: I joined the kickboxing class about seven months ago and absolutely love it! The classes are not only a great workout, but also fun. Abby and Jory are both great people that are friendly and easy to talk to and obviously highly skilled and knowledgeable about what they teach. If you are even mildly curious about kickboxing or BJJ I strongly recommend you give them a try. I truly believe it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Fantastic experience: Jory and Abby Malone are exceptional BJJ instructors. My son has been a student of theirs since he was 8.....he is now 13. Jusitzu increases a childs self confidence as well as improves physical endurance and ability. I recommend to anyone wanting to take a martial arts to go to Revolution.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been training at Revolution for over a year. Abby and the teenage helpers are all wonderful with the kids! One of my favorite things is how they teach the students to use the skills they learn in class appropriately, not just at the first sign of someone being mean to them. They teach them that there are steps to go through before using your training.

Fantastic experience: Revolution MMA has far surpassed my expectations. I expected a hobby and a good workout. I did not expect to learn science and history as well as practical life tips in regard to things indirectly linked to MMA. When I was considering a trial adult kickboxing class, the Revolution MMA staff was informative and quick to reply. Someone said, “it will be the best workout you’ve ever had” and I thought, “I don’t know about that. I’ve been trained pretty hard and well by competitive cheerleading coaches, basketball coaches who had excellent professional histories, and track coaches who refused to lose. You’re probably just saying that because you own the place, but I respect your confidence and excitement.” I WAS SO WRONG. This is legitimately the best workout I have ever had. Everything we are led to do is designed to a scientific and intentional purpose. Then, as we are completing the exercises, we are informed of the specific ways in which that particular exercise is changing and preparing our bodies on a cellular level. It works. The coaches continually and extensively research training and technique. They promote growth mentally as well as physically, and they connect students to resources that will better equip them for all areas of life. Revolution MMA cares about the whole person. 10/10, Revolution MMA deserves all the 5 star reviews.

Fantastic experience: Great World Class Instructors and great for the while family to get involved! My whole family has been coming here for 6 years..not only are you getting fit and healthy but you build confidence by learning skills to help defend yourself or your family

Fantastic experience: My son has been training at Revolution for several years now. To see the changes both mentally and physically in him has been amazing. My wife and I were so pleased with what coaches Abby and Jory have done that we enrolled our 7 year old daughter in classes. We highly recommend Revolution MMA and look forward to being part of Revolution family for many more years.

Fantastic experience: My son drake goes here and has for almost two years they are sweet and caring and love all their students they are one of the best karate places to go to we love them very much my son has learned alot he plans to stay to get his black belt with them they are awesome

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everybody is super helpful and friendly!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Revolution MMA, it's a place where I can come and feel at home and the people there feel like family. While getting the most intense workout...

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been going there about 2 years now , and we love it . I never really thought i would enjoy it so much . The instructors are both multi-time world champions , and it shows in their level of instruction . They teach more than just Jiu jitsu . They help the kids with what to do in real life situations , stuff that happens to them everyday at school , and other places . So glad they are teaching , and that we found them .

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been training there for 6 years and love it. Jory and Abby are very knowledgeable in martial arts and always provide good training.

Fantastic experience: Abby and Jory Malone are great Jiu-Jitsu teachers. Abby worked with my grandson for two years and he matured from a shy and hesitant boy to someone who was confident in groups. He learned Jiu-jitsu skills and has found himself in situations with older children where he had to defend himself and the older boys asked him to stop. I have seen this happen with other children in class. Abby is very good at using world class training methods to slowly mold children and teach them skills. She is very supportive of the children and they all respect and trust her. She is very low key in her personal approach often using humor as she molds the children into better athletes and good citizens with their peers. I highly recommend Mixed Martial Arts, Abby, and Jory Malone.

Fantastic experience: As a football player I had some tough training, this is by far the best training I've ever done. Great way to lose that body fat and perfect cardio. The best train here, simple as that

Fantastic experience: Best place to train, master are the best, the masters teach you more than just what you'd think you'd need to know about jui jitsu they teach you about the body and the history of really everything

Fantastic experience: I had my son as a teenager into his young adulthood attend. Individualized attention was given as well as a valuable building of character, asserting a pathway in life, earning a priceless relationship within revolution mma, my son and I. I felt safe with the staff and respect all they have given and done for my son.

Fantastic experience: I have had the honor of training at Revolution for the last 7 years, since then my 6 years old boy trains here since he turned 4, and my two older daughters also train at this gym. I have trained at other gyms but none have the care and professionalism you will find at this gym. Amazing training were champions are created every evening.

Fantastic experience: My boys have come so far in these classes and even I learn how to practice with them at home just by listening! It's very detailed training and a great workout as well. I would pick these classes over a regular gym for certain. It's a great environment for kids and a great way to learn self defense as a family. I am so glad we came here to learn! The teachers are a great team and I am definitely going to join for myself! Thank you Revolution MMA for being such a professional and structural business for my family!!

Fantastic experience: My son took two forms of MMA with Abby and Jory and he was with them for three years. My son has a form of autism and I cannot express what a difference this made in his attitude. My son is mildly autistic, not severely. He’s what they call high functioning. He learned kick boxing and grappling and still knows it today several years later. He’s a grown adult now and we only stopped attending because they closed down their Hot Springs site to focus on their main site in Benton. I took taekwondo as a teen myself and I knew that him getting into a good sensei would improve his behavior and Abby and Jory were just that - great teachers. I have much respect for them both!!!

Fantastic experience: The kids program at Revolution has given our son a unique set of skills that set him apart from other kids in society. He is focused, physically and mentally strong, and disciplined at a young age! We are so thankful for the leadership of Jory and Abby to make sure the kids have fun while learning.

Fantastic experience: Revolution MMA is LIFE CHANGING. They offer world-class coaching in a family style environment. My daughter and I take BJJ classes from Jory and Abby Malone and absolutely love them and the sport. If you want to get in shape and change the way you look, feel, and think, give it a try. You will not be disappointed! Dustin Holley

Fantastic experience: I love Revolution MMA. Friendly and helpful instructors. They are amazing teachers. I recommend them to anyone who wants to do MMA, or BBJ.

Fantastic experience: Most knowledgeable staff. They are continuously learning and adding to the curriculim. Both coaches have competed internationally and nationally. Nobody comes close to their knowledge and experience.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching great training great people they are family for life

Fantastic experience: Great environment for kids and young adults to get started great instructors and world class training for all ages and experience levels.

Positive experience: If you want to learn BJJ, this is one of the best places to do so! Revolution MMA, despite the name, is primarily a BJJ and Kick Boxing school. I mostly did BJJ there for 4 or 5 years, and as a BJJ school the instruction is top notch. (I just dabbled in KB so Ill keep my review to where I have the most experience, though their kick boxing program is competent)  If you want to study BJJ, become proficient and compete, I can't recommend the school highly enough.  Jory Malone has an almost super human ability to remember the tiniest detail of every technique EVER.  He is PHENOMENALLY good, both as a player and a coach.  Abby is also a black belt and good coach, so if any women are interested, know that you wont be the only woman there. Both Abby and Jory REALLY study the game, and are very knowledgeable. (Again,  Jory's width and depth of technique is just....well, not quite human. Ask a question and you will learn!) My only reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I really like MMA, and theres not as much there as one would hope by the name. The BJJ program really does get 5 starts, the name is just a bit off.

Positive experience: Very nice and friendly instructors

Fantastic experience: I've tried the rest, and Revolution is the best in Arkansas
