AntDawg's MMA Training Center has been serving the Gilroy area since 2009. The training center is an owner-operated facility led by Anthony Figueroa, who is the Head Coach and oversees all programs, and he personally leads the Kids Mixed Martial Arts and Kids Jiu-Jitsu programs. It is described as Gilroy's Premier Mixed Martial Arts Training Center, beginner friendly, with no contract, a 3 Day Intro option, and all skill levels welcome, and it is home to both amateur and professional fighters. The center is described as deeply rooted in the local community, and families are described as growing together through martial arts, with areas served including Gilroy, Morgan Hill, Hollister, Watsonville, Salinas, and San Jose. One testimonial from a parent notes that children gain confidence, lose weight, gain lean muscle, and have a positive outlook on life, and mentions kids with ADHD or autism growing through four stated pillars: respect, honor, discipline, and strength. Multiple testimonials describe the gym as family friendly, clean, and offering martial arts and fitness classes at all levels from beginner to pro, with several class options each day and coaches who are knowledgeable, skilled, encouraging, and easy to approach.
