Ancient City Martial Arts and The Training Loft

I’ve been training at Ancient City Martial Arts for almost 4 years, so I can assure you that they have one of the best professionals to help you achieve your goals in martial arts. It really feels like family, great people, nice environment and vibe. Thanks Master Plott.

My son and I started attending Ancient City Martial Arts (ACMA) after moving here to Saint Augustine and have had an absolutely wonderful experience. We tried out 3 other local BJJ/etc schools as well when initially looking for a place to join and they all had great qualities but we liked ACMA the best, and now after 5 months of regular classes there we could not be happier that we decided to get going with it. My son does the youth BJJ, wrestling, and Hapkido classes and loves all three. Master Plott is fantastic with the kids and is a perfect example of that combination all the greatest youth sports coaches have where he holds the kids to a high standard and demands toughness/self-discipline from them, but simultaneously is always smiling and laughing and giving them tons of encouragement. Stu is also amazing and my son particularly enjoys the wrestling classes he teaches. On the adult side I have been doing the BJJ and Muay Thai classes as well as the MMA classes with Chris and absolutely love all three. The community of dudes who attend them is incredibly supportive and the vibe and atmosphere of the classes is just exactly what you would want - very welcoming for beginners but also serious with a number of members who are actually regularly competing in combat sports bouts. We feel blessed to have found such a great school and would unequivocally recommend ACMA to anyone in the Saint Augustine area - kids, teens, adults, etc- looking for martial arts/combat sports training!

Let me come in and hit the bag and I’m just driving through at Augustine ! Very nice very welcoming and a beautiful facility!

The gym is stocked with great equipment and can satisfy any fitness level. Megan is by far the most attentive personal trainer I have ever met. She genuinely cares about her clients obtaining their health goals. She is very knowledgeable, positive, encouraging, and keeps me motivated with an ever changing routine.
