Fantastic experience: Amazing training and atmosphere. Been coming for almost 3 years and have never had a bad experience.
Fantastic experience: You wouldn’t expect a gym like Boonedocks to be in a place like Boone. Some of the best staff and coaches I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Spencer and Tyler both really care about what they do and it shows in their classes. Beginner or experienced you will leave this gym better than how you came in. The people that train at boonedocks are always friendly and helpful. As someone who has trained in Thailand and done martial arts for their whole life. If you are just stopping in boone or are looking to get into mma for the first time I urge you to come check out boonedocks!

Plenty of people my skill level to roll with, got some great rolls in. Picked up some good details to bring back to my school. Thanks to Spencer for allowing me to drop in!

Fantastic experience: I was on vacation and decided to drop in for their nogi class. Boone Docks is a great school and their head nogi instructor Spencer is a really great teacher. He’s super technical and very friendly. I had a great time meeting everyone in their school and would highly recommend. If you’re looking to get started this is a great place to go. #trainordont
Fantastic experience: Good no gi bjj. Good Muay Thai. Well padded with wrestling mats and the mats are very sanitary. Great instructors and there are also experienced guys in the gym who help out.
Fantastic experience: This place has helped me so much mentally and physically. Great grappling community and awesome instructors. I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking about joining.
Thanks! We are thrilled to hear our programs are making positive impacts for you!
Fantastic experience: I stopped in twice while vacationing in the North Carolina high country area around Boone. Spencer and his team are super welcoming and provide top notch instruction. The gym is great mix of experienced and beginner practitioners. The tough nogi rolls I got in, topped off a really great vacation. If you just visiting or looking for a new gym, I would highly recommend get in contact with Spencer, and check out Boone Docks MMA.
Thanks for the kind words! We love having visitors come by and give us a different “look”! We certainly try and offer meaningful instruction to both beginners and advanced practitioners alike, so it is great to hear we are succeeding in that goal! Come back and visit us soon!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching, amazing prices, highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I stopped in as an out of town brown belt. Spencer and the guys were very welcoming. I got some great no gi rolls in with the upper belts. Not the prettiest gym but a great place to get some safe rolls with talented guys!
Thanks for stopping in; we love having guests drop by! Glad you mentioned safety, as it is our biggest priority. Swing by anytime!
Fantastic experience: For the price it is a real great deal! Any class offered is VERY beginner friendly and the regulars help maintain a great community that's fun to be a part of. All of the instructors are very knowledgable, ensure safety, and patiently help you learn regardless of skill level.
Thanks for the great review, we love having ya in our classes! Our beginners are our lifeblood, we always work hard to make sure they are safe and learning!
Fantastic experience: My son has been training in Jiu-Jitsu with Spencer for the greater part of 2 years now. With a comprehensive and attention to detail style, Spencer really has helped my son immensely. This training has helped my son develop strength, overall balance with his physical condition, and core strength. Very accommodating and great environment for families to attend. If you’re looking to learn an eclectic mix self defense or martial arts; Boonedocks is the place to go!
Fantastic experience: Great place to train and learn new martial arts!
Fantastic experience: My grandson loves going here
Fantastic experience: This place is an amazing gym to train! If you are just stopping by or looking for a gym to train at for an extended period of time, Boone Docks MMA is a great choice! We would love to have you! These are the things I love most about the gym. *The coaching here is extraordinary. They really help you understand every little detail of a move without overcomplicating it. *Coaches and other members will not hesitate to help you through a technique. Just make sure to ask if you have any questions! * The class sizes are pretty big which is great because you get tons of experience with different types of bodies and styles. *The overall atmosphere is great! You really feel like family at this gym. It is super inviting and rolling with the class is so much fun. * Great Price! Since I don't have alot of money, I want to get the most bang for my buck. At $95 dollars this is a steal. For this quality, I have seen prices around $150. You also get black belt seminars for $40! $20 if you're a student!
Thanks for the kind words, Alvin! We are already seeing your improvements in jiu jitsu, and can’t wait to see you continue crushing it! We keep our rates as low as possible (while keeping the lights on!) so that people of all financial levels can train. Martial arts are for everyone!
Fantastic experience: This is a great place to learn self defense. There are a few females in every class. The teachers make me feel comfortable and are helpful without being overbearing I'm not that good yet but I'm definitely going back.
We are so glad to have you gals with us! One of our big missions is to make sure we are an inclusive space for all, so it is great to hear you are having fun!
Fantastic experience: I have been training here for five months. The level of instruction for Muay Thai, and ju jitsu is top notch. Spencer (ju jitsu) and Tyler (Muay Thia) have taken me from a competent striker/grappler to a confident one. This gym is crawling with talent and is a great place to sharpen you claws for fun, health, or even competition. 18 adult classes per month for 95 dollars is a steal. I encourage all knowledge levels to come out. The roots of study are bitter but their fruit is so sweet.
So glad you are having fun and learning with us!
Negative experience: Can't speak for the jiu jitsu classes buy Muy Thai classes are utterly terrible. Very disorganized, they throw beginners in with experienced and over the top boxers and expect them to hold their own. Even the instructors are overly zealous and have questionable qualifications. If you are a beginner, don't train here, save your brain cells.
Christopher, I’m saddened to hear you had such a poor experience with us. Since it’s inception, Boone Docks MMA has been a place we have worked hard to build up a beginner-friendly atmosphere at. After reading this review, I went back to find your class card to get a better idea of the time frame you came in. After seeing that the last time you trained with us was almost a year ago in January, I better understood some of your grievances. Our instructor at the time, though very qualified (profighter, positive record, training for a decade, etc.) wasn’t up to our standards when it came to organization, setting curriculum, and catering to all levels of training. I let him go for those reasons, shortly after you stopped training with us. We have replaced him with 2 co-instructors that are long-time gym members that prioritize the safety and learning of the community we have worked so hard to build here. Since we sometimes even have high school children in those classes, I have spoken with both of our new instructors to ensure that they are separating students by skill/size levels appropriately, which they were in full support of. Had I been made aware of these issues when they happened, I would have taken immediate action to remedy the situation. Since this happened so long ago at this point, and we have replaced the instructor in question already, I would welcome any other feedback on improvement. We always strive to provide the most welcoming, least intimidating atmosphere possible and are committed to fixing any problems members tell us about! I hope you will consider coming back in and checking out our newly renovated facility and newly structured classes. Hopefully we can earn back a better review, more in line with our current programming!
Fantastic experience: Great environment for the kids and adults!! This place is awesome and I look forward to going everyday
We are glad to have you! Your excitement and enthusiasm help to foster the fun environment we pride ourselves on; see you soon!
Fantastic experience: I travel to the Boone area for work frequently and needed a place to train. This school is great and just what I was looking for. Everyone is super welcoming and great instruction.
Fantastic experience: Came up from Jacksonville Fl and found this place on vacation. Everyone was friendly and had a good skill set. I would definitely train here if I was from the area.
Thanks for stopping in! We love having visitors; you are always welcome!
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough how much I’ve been impressed by the caliber of instruction at Boonedocks. I’ve trained with some of the most decorated and successful grapplers in the world and really, I mean it, Spencer’s BJJ knowledge and instruction is right up there with the best. On top of all that, Boonedocks has the advantage of being a smaller program where everyone feels like family and supports you in your own goals whether you want to compete, learn self defense, or even just get in shape. Why are you still reading this? Join already!
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Boone Docks. It’s a perfect hole-in-the-wall gym with a strong sense of community and fun. Everyone is amable, respectful, and caring. It’s been so helpful for maintaining my sanity during the school year, all while keeping me active and healthy. I owe my strong connection with Boone in part to Boone Docks, and I am grateful for all that it has done for me. It’s very inexpensive for an MMA gym, but we receive fantastic coaching from the instructors, and we as a gym help it’s members succeed in learning martial arts for self-defense, or excelling in competition. Highly recommended to all.
Fantastic experience: Great place to train!
