The crowd varies here from beginners to competitive. There seems to be more emphasis on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu than Muay Thai, likely because of the coaching.
If you’re going as a beginner, then the MT classes are good for an introduction. The standup coach (Ray W.) won’t be correcting your form much, but you’ll be overpaying for a good workout that gives you fight confidence. If you show genuine interest in good form AND show potential, then Coach Ray will try to pay more attention but for the most part, his eyes are glued to the TV. If you’re still set on going here, then rely on the other good students to teach you (although there are days when not one of them shows to the regular class).
Other obvious Cons:
— the gym is way too small for the number of people training at any given time.
— lacks tradition, bowing to enter the mats
— lacks cleanliness; where the hell are the foot disinfectant tubs every time someone gets on/​off the mats? Everyone should have a realistic fear of staph but this place doesn’t.
Obviously the other Unilocalers are virgins to MMA (not that I’m an expert by ANY means), but if you’re up in the air between Octagon and Title Boxing (for whatever reason you might consider Title), I would still recommend you do yourself a favor and pick Octagon.

Prior to the first time I went to an Octagon MMA class, I was so nervous because I had never done any kickboxing or any sort of MMA ever. After working myself up to finally go, I got there 30 minutes early to watch the previous class and get some instructions on what I need to do. Once it was time for my class to start, Ray greeted me and my boyfriend, wrapped our hands, and provided us with boxing gloves. With both my boyfriend’s help and Ray’s help, I was keeping up with the rest of the class within minutes! Ray evaluated my swings and foot work, and throughout the whole class, he was continually giving me tips on how to improve! Not only was he SO helpful, but he was making me work up a sweat! I was so sore the next day, yet I still wanted to go again! The environment is very friendly here and the people here work together to help each other improve. Also, they have a great schedule that’s easy to work with. I absolutely loooove this place, but unfortunately can’t afford it right now :(. I will definitely be back though!

If your looking to learn jiu jitsu or kickboxing its hard to beat this gym. The facility is well maintained, the jiu-​jitsu is top notch (this is where black belts go to learn) and the kickboxing is world class. They have an elite fight team… but by no means do you have to be a fighter to train here. Its a family type environment for all levels. You might think its a little bit pricey… but now days you get what you pay for.

I have trained at several Jiu Jitsu/​MMA gyms and I can say for me at least that this gym is by far the best. All of the instructor are: nice, helpful, and patient. Additionally, the gym accommodates almost everyone’s personal needs for training. Their are people their who are looking to compete at a high level wether it be in: Mma, Bjj or boxing and their are people their who are just their to learn self defense and lose weight. They do a great job of breaking the classes up based upon people’s individual goals. Overall, great gym!

I have been kickboxing for 7 months at Octagon. As a woman, I was a bit intimidated by the fact that there are a ton of tough dudes around but everyone here has made me feel so welcome. If you are looking to see serious results in a short amount of time I highly recommend Octagon. The membership price only motivates me to come more and the trainers here are incredible.

I tested out the gym because the manager was personable and nice. I joined because the jiu jitsu instructor was personable and nice. I’m staying a member because everyone at the gym is personable and nice.
This is a great place where even as a beginner there will be a ton of people that are happy to work with you and keep you coming. There’s no big egos and typical guy stuff. There’s a good number of women who train and advance through belts.
Other reasons that I love this gym is that they have 6am classes. It’s nice to get in a workout or training session early and move on with my day. I can’t recommend it enough.

Octagon MMA is one of the best gyms in D-​FW. It has convenient classes morning, noon and night. The place is kept up well, clean, with towels and full showers. The teachers for both MMA and jiu-​jitsu are world class. Whether you are a pro athlete or just an average joe, you will find a home and success here.
You can start training at any age, too. Don’t be afraid to give it a try and they give you a free trial.
The only minor complaint is that it isn’t the largest building like some other gyms, but it uses its space to the full extent.

Extremely nice facility. Men’s bathrooms have little clear containers with razors for shaving!
World class BJJ instructor and great people to train with.
If you want to go pro, this is the gym you want to be at. Lots of pro fighters and all of them are very game.

I’ve been a MMA fan since the first UFC and I’ve always wanted to fight. I am a married father of two, and my wife is a stay at home mom. To be fair to my family I could not afford any personal time to train. Octagon MMA has a 6AM class Monday through Friday that allows me to sneek out, and back in with no one at home noticing!
The staff at Octagon are awesome! They work with your pace, and know when and when not to push you. The Boxing instructor is awesome and will get you in insane shape! The MMA instructor is very observant, compliments you on your strengths, corrects your mistakes and demonstrates the correct form, and is always looking out for your safety.
If you are looking for a place to get into SERIOUS shape, look no further than the #1 martial arts gym in Dallas. They have Boxing, Kick Boxing, BJJ, Mauy Thai, and MMA classes available.
