Hanny Tjan and the MMA District team
Our Story · Hanny Tjan, Founder

Fifteen years on the mats. One vision for a gym.

MMA District was born out of passion — the kind that only comes from years on the mats, gloves on, and the drive to keep learning. Founder Hanny Tjan has trained in martial arts for over 15 years, from Sanda and Muay Thai to Jiu-Jitsu and MMA.

She dreamed of creating a space that combined the intensity of Thai camps with the personal connection of a small community gym. That dream became the District: a training center built for fighters, hobbyists, and kids alike.

Our Philosophy Train. Tap. Build. Repeat.

Train like a fighter — even if you're not one.

At MMA District, we believe everyone can train like a fighter — not just in skill, but in mindset. Every class is designed to challenge, empower, and teach resilience. Our training blends modern fight preparation with traditional values: discipline, respect, and growth. Whether you're rolling, striking, or lifting, you'll learn to move with confidence and purpose.

Train Hard Real intensity, scaled to your level.
Tap Early Build durability, not ego.
Show Up Consistency beats intensity, every time.
Respect Coaches, partners, and the room.
What Makes Us Different Not a Big-Box Gym. Not a Hobby Studio.
Tight-Knit

Small classes. Real attention.

We're not a big-box gym. Our classes are smaller, our coaching is personal, and our culture is built around accountability. You're a name here — not a key fob.

Multi-Discipline

One roof. Five arts.

MMA, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and Strength & Conditioning — all included with every membership — plus a Youth program in Kickboxing & Jiu-Jitsu for ages 8–15. Train one, train all, or weave them together.

All Levels

Kids 8+ to serious competitors.

First-time students, hobbyists, and serious competitors all train here. Beginners build foundation. Advanced athletes refine their edge. Everyone gets the same coaching.

"A home where anyone with heart and dedication can find their fight."
