HICSMMA

Fantastic experience: My wife and I traveled from out of state and Professor Donny and his gym welcomed us with open arms and put us through an awesome session with instruction, live positions, and rolls. The gym was clean, people were friendly, and we had a great time with some new people! We highly recommend stopping in.

Fantastic experience: Hiccsmma! Wonderful place! I went to KY to visit for a while & they were welcoming! Wonderful instructors & awesome environment!

Fantastic experience: My son loves it!!!

Fantastic experience: Donny is one of the best BJJ instructors I've come across in 20 plus years of training. The precision and detail in which he explains technique and works with his students is unmatched. I'm an out of towner, but have visited his school numerous times. Cleanliness, friendliness, and a great experience can be difficult to come by, but NOT at HICS MMA. Family atmosphere with world class instruction in a modern clean facility. 5 stars every time. Thanks again. Can't wait to come back.

Fantastic experience: Check out this place if you get the time. Amazing instructors.

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility with knowledgeable teachers as well as great community that make you feel like you're part of a family! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been training here for over a year. Great instructors with a wealth of knowledge. Friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Very inclusive and welcoming to newcomers and people with 0 martial arts or athletic experience. A wide variety of class times to fit almost anyones schedule as well. Overall 10/10

Fantastic experience: Been training here for years. Met the best people I know here. Come train with us!!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym, full of awesome people!

Fantastic experience: I have been training here for over two years. Joining HICS was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The people here are amazing and supportive. It really is a family! They are welcoming and kind, and the facilities are excellent. I’d encourage anyone interested in starting martial arts training to come by for a free introductory class. It just might change your life the way it has mine.

Fantastic experience: I travel an hour and a half to train with this team. The facility and instructors are world class offering something for beginners to advanced level development. Great vibe and family type atmosphere that encourages development both on and off the mat

Fantastic experience: Love this gym, have been training here for 4 months now and everyone has been so helpful. If you’re looking to get in shape, learn a new martial art, or find a second family, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: I've been training BJJ for over 15 years. This is definitely one of the best places to train in KY. All of the instructors are super knowledgeable. You will learn how to fight/grapple from people that have significant experience. There are a wide variety of class times available, excellent range of experience, tons of mat space, individual attention, competition focus for those interested, and a family friendly environment.

Fantastic experience: Very pleased. Came here to learn the basics, and I’ve learned even more than I expected, a lot faster than I expected. Their teaching style is great for all age groups and skill levels, and I have yet to meet someone who is not friendly, helpful, and patient with beginners. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym. They were a very positive atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I'm a purple belt visiting out of town and stopped by here during my trip. I could tell immediately it was a good place to train. Knowledgeable instructors, everyone was super courteous. Thanks for letting me drop in!

Fantastic experience: Best mma gym around!

Fantastic experience: HICS MMA is the best! Professor Donny makes you feel like family and truly cares about your growth! His whole team is amazing and each time I train here I am always challenged physically and mentally! I always leave feeling I have learned something.

Fantastic experience: January will make one full year that I have been coming to HICS MMA. I started coming with the intent to find a discipline that I would enjoy that would also allow me to lose weight, I am very happy to say that I have found that here. Although at times it does get difficult that is really the name of the game here. This is by far the best community I have been apart of when it comes to athletics. I have always been a much larger guy, and from day one the instructors have worked with me and helped me learn to do what will work for me & still pushed me to be better. I don't even look like the same person and I still have way more to go. People will definitely keep you consistent here as well. Overall, Instructors treat you like family, the facility is super clean, and you will meet the best of friends here. And most importantly, Wes & Brian still can't take me down. :)

Fantastic experience: HICSMMA is hands down the best place to train in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. Professor Donny Wallace is a true master of his craft and an exceptional instructor. His knowledge, passion, and dedication to his students are unparalleled. The training environment at HICSMMA is welcoming, challenging, and fosters growth both as a martial artist and as an individual. I've learned so much under Professor Donny's guidance, and I can't recommend HICSMMA enough for anyone looking to excel in Jiu-Jitsu and MMA. It's a place where you not only gain invaluable skills but also become a part of an incredible martial arts community. HICSMMA and Professor Donny Wallace are simply the best!

Fantastic experience: HICSMMA Is an amazing place I wish we had found sooner! my kids attend training here and they LOVE IT! The staff is absolutely amazing! Donny and Racheal are the owners but they treat you like family, and you feel like you’re at home when you walk in! If you’re looking for a great place for you or your kids to train, come on in and meet the FAMILY, you’re always welcome!

Fantastic experience: The people are so nice and hilarious. Probably one the cleanest gyms. The people there always do good in tournments.

Fantastic experience: Top Notch Facility and Coaches, 100% recommend !!

Fantastic experience: •facility is one of the cleanest gyms of it's kind that I've been to, across the country, and most definitely in or near Bowling Green. •Very experienced instructors, with different personalities to fit anyone if wanting private sessions. •top of the line facility, with large areas to have your own space, and mats that help ease the pain of falling/doing drills •showers, dressing rooms, sauna •classes or privates that can cater to most and help most people with their intended goals They offer such a wide range of classes that cover almost any goal a potential member or student would desire, self defense, weight loss, gain confidence, coordination, weight gain, or just a place to feel that you belong. The kids program is an amazing place for children to build a solid foundation of good habits and learn basic respect for peers and adults. It is not just a sport or a workout, but a place that most look forward to after a long day at work or school.

Fantastic experience: Just in town for the week and dropped in to take a BJJ class. Super friendly training environment for all levels. Beautiful facility, I would highly recommend HICSMMA to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Came on open mat day, enjoyed the environment, looking forward to trying out a class

Fantastic experience: Awesome facility and great atmosphere. The facility was very clean and well organized. Both grappling areas have suspended floors making it super comfortable to work big throws and takedowns! if you are in the area definitely drop in for some quality training.

Fantastic experience: There are thousands of Martial Arts academies throughout the United States. What makes this one so special is that the academies owner epitomizes the values that he teaches and lives his life adjacent to the same set of principals that he instills in his students. Donny Wallace is a black belt in Jiu-Jitsu but I also consider him a black belt in real life. He is always willing to help those in need and has served as a role model to those throughout his community. Your going to learn a ton about Mixed Martial Arts but your also going to have values that are is instilled upon you and are applicable in real life and that’s why this academy is so amazing. The lessons learned go beyond the mat and that’s not something that your going to get from most gyms.

Fantastic experience: Got the chance to visit while we were down for Shawn Hammonds team training 2022. The facility is amazing lots of mat space and the rounds were awesome! Southern hospitality is an understatement everyone was so friendly and welcoming, it was truly an awesome experience. I highly recommend visiting if you're in the area!!

Donny is consistenlty improving on the gym for the past 9 years he has been in business. He has been training in MMA and BJJ for over 15 years. BEST GYM IN TOWN!!!! If you are not training here you're missing out. Best thing I can say about this place is FAMILY! That's how they make you feel.

Fantastic experience: Very professional yet family like atmosphere at the same time. Donny is the real deal! And the new academy is amazing!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training here for a couple months now. Intimidating at first, but I quickly realized that this place is full of great, like minded people that are looking to get into better shape. Whether you’re trying to get in shape or get into the cage, it’s the best place in town to hit them goals.

Fantastic experience: Donny and his coaching staff are passionate about martial arts and the positive changes that can be made in people’s lives. It’s a great family owned business.

Fantastic experience: Top notch instruction, and top notch instructors. No need to have any fears showing up for your first training session or asking any questions.

HICSMMA is a very clean facility and the atmosphere is family oriented. Whatever your goals are this is the place to achieve them at an affordable rate.

Fantastic experience: State of the art facility with an awesome coaching staff.

Fantastic experience: So glad this place is open. If it wasn’t for this gym my husband would be unbearable to be around. Every time he comes home from the gym he is in the best mood.

Fantastic experience: There are many great things to say about the HICSMMA facility, from the welcoming environment to the incredible training regimens. Definitely worth the check out if you’re looking for a place where the coaches/instructors are just as determined as you are to see you reach your goals

Fantastic experience: If you're looking to get in shape while also learning jiu jitsu, Judo, kickboxing and MMA there is no better place than HICSMMA! All the coaches are there to see everyone grow and become not only better at the sport but a better person in general. Everyone is super friendly and always willing to help! If there is anywhere I can call a second home its HICS. There is plenty of space at the new location. 3 huge mats, a full mma cage, kickboxing bag set up area with multiple bags and work out equipment. The facility has 2 changing rooms, 2 restrooms, 2 water fountains and a shower room which really completes the facilty. There are plenty of class times so if you work particular hours or are in school there are still ways for you to attend. You can't get the type of training HICS offers anywhere else in the area! Come check HICS out!

Fantastic experience: Some of the best people I know come from HICS MMA they have a certain way to make you feel like a part of the family, also extremely clean and well taken care of! I have made a lot of lifelong friends at this place!

Fantastic experience: Have been coming for almost two years and couldn’t imagine wanting anything more. The new space is fantastic and is cleaned after every class. Everyone looks out for one another and makes training feel safe while also pushing you to grow. Coaches are fantastic and are really there to help you find and stick to goals.

Fantastic experience: The place is always sanitized after every classes -professional-safety always first-learning level for all - family fun gym - never a dull moment-

Fantastic experience: A good friend invited me to go with him to HICSMMA. I was very apprehensive about starting Jiu Jitsu at 50 years old. I assumed I would be so lost that I would either embarrass myself, get injured or both. My assumptions could not have been more wrong. Donny does such an awesome job at tailoring his teaching to all skill levels. My fellow students were very welcoming and eager to see me succeed. My only wish is I had started a long time ago!! I would highly recommend HICSMMA to anyone who wants to learn Jiu Jitsu or, simply wants a great workout without feeling like you are working out! Top notch!

Fantastic experience: Massive gym, clean, great teammates, knowledgeable and professional instructors. Everything you could want in a gym. From guys like me who train for exercise and love of the sport, to people who want to be professional fighters. Top notch kickboxing and BJJ instruction for a very reasonable price, right here in Bowling Green. This is NOT some McDojo. If you want to learn what you are physically capable of, this is the place to do it.

Fantastic experience: Come here or else.

Fantastic experience: I had always considered joining but was nervous. When I saw the new building I decided to check it out. Best decision ever! Everyone makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in the door. I've been going now for two months and my confidence has skyrocketed. Thank you Donny and thank you Dee!

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn, get in shape, and make life long friends. It’s not just a gym, you will become part of the family.

Fantastic experience: you want a family oriented place with tranniers who are very passionate about what they do this is the place. The building is amazing clean judgment free zone where you become like family everyone encourages everyone you wont feel uninvited come give them a shot you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: I made the switch to HICS MMA from another local gym and it’s the best decision I ever made. I should of switched 10yrs ago. The atmosphere is unreal. Everyone is friendly and laid back. There are no big egos or intimidation at this gym. I feel that all the instructors truly have their students best interest at hand. Taking the time to help and demonstrate everything down to the very smallest details. I would give more than 5 stars if allowed. Very professional place and business owner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: Amazing workout experience, love the friendly atmosphere, I can't wait to go back!

Fantastic experience: I would say I really miss all the friends here

Fantastic experience: A++
