Crazy 88 Mixed Martial Arts

I’ve been a member of 5 different Gym’s before and never had such a bad experience. They tell you to sign a contract without explaining to you the cancelation or options for putting it on hold. When i asked couch Jon during the contract signing he assured me its a standard contract and should be not problem if i need to put the membership on hold, they will work with me and not to worry. BIG MISTAKE, Should have never signed!!! My dad passed away and i contacted the billing company they use to explain to them that i won’t be attending for the remainder of my contract which was 3 month. They gave me a runaround but i was under the impression everything was fine and they put my membership on hold just like i was promised. After a year i get a collection notice from a lawyer saying i owe a bunch of money to them plus lawyer fees. Tried to contact the owner couch Julius of Crazy 88 to resolve this situation but never got a call or email back. Ended up paying $ 400 for nothing, i rather have spent that money on toys and books for my daughter. Get something straight they don’t care about you as a customer, its a business and their main priority is to make money first. I will be leaving the same review for the Elkridge location since i’ve attended both.

My 5 year old attends this gym and we both love it. All the staff is very friendly and welcoming. He’s trained by coach Aung, he’s patience and kind but tough enough on the kids so they give it their all. Since my son started his class I’ve noticed a positive change in his demeanor and confidence. I would definitely recommend crazy 88 to all my friends and family, and I have!

Great place to train, whether your goal is to get in shape, lose weight, or become a professional fighter. Home grown champions, made by the friendliest, most knowledgable coaches around. Perfect for all ages, all sizes, all skill levels.

I wish I knew before I signed a contact that there would be favoritism when moving up in rank. I have been here 7 months and seen people come in after me and moved up in rank. And to add insult to injury they are not perfect and still mess up. Of all the money I pay the mats and bathrooms could be cleaner. Overall, I do get a good work out and have lost so far 20 lbs. I always get good compliments about how I am improving and doing a good job but I am bored at level 1 and want to learn something new. Im just counting down until the end of my contract and research another martial arts school that sees me and is willing to help me advance. Also I wish the females get as much attention as the males.

Great staff and the gym is cleaned regularly. It is family friendly and a great way to exercise whether or not you are into jiu jitsu, kickboxing, self defense, or weight loss

I have been training jiu jitsu for almost 5 years. For me jiu jitsu has been truly life changing. In my first year of training I lost 60lbs. I had never done anything athletic before and the atmosphere created by the instructors really made me feel comfortable. They pushed me just hard enough so that I achieved my goals without feeling like I was being yelled at.
I started jiu jitsu at Crazy 88 in Elkridge and have recently started training and helping out with classes at the Owings Mills location. The atmosphere in OM is great. It is friendly and inviting while still maintaining the solid teaching ethic that made the Elkridge school so successful. I spend my days plowing the cubicle fields right down the street from Crazy 88 OM which makes it very convenient for me to come in after work.
The coaching staff is super passionate about teaching and cultivating the students and school. I am really happy to be training here and have made many new friends. Since this is a new school with a couple of us old timers mixed in, there is a really good variety of skill levels in the room. New people coming in have many other new people to train with and several more experienced people to receive guidance from. Whether you are looking to try something new or continue your training, Crazy 88 OM is a great place to be.

At first, I came to Crazy 88 to learn some self defense I needed for my work. I would say it even saved me from serious injury or even death. Overtime, however, I began to love martial arts and training here not just for self defense reasons. The instructors are all legitimate and excellent teachers. The atmosphere of the gym is very positive and I have had a great learning experience. I would recommen this place for both casual folks that just want to lose weight and serious competitors.
