REAL PEOPLE. REAL RESULTS.

Adam

Joining Neak-Ta was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Neak-Ta is the best MMA gym in Ottawa and is now at a new and larger facility with ample parking and easy access. I love training here, the progress I have made, and the friendly family vibes. The coaches are fantastic and everyone is enthusiastic about teaching. This is an excellent gym to attend to reach your fitness and fighting goals, with all levels of athletes. There is weekly live sparring, and BJJ live rolls 6 days a week. You can start at your own pace and work with the coaches and gym members to build yourself up to any level you desire. Your goals and ambitions will be taken seriously no matter your starting point. The cleanliness of the gym is great too, there is also a comprehensive weight lifting area. Come train at Neak-Ta, no matter how "old" or out of shape you think you are, this is where you go to take it to the next level.

Brian Cho

Best gym in Ottawa. I'd continue going to this gym if I lived in Ottawa. Coach Sam is very friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced. Everyone is welcoming at this gym. I highly recommend for all levels. I believe you can also ask for free trial classes before you decide.
