I attended Luttrell/YEE MMA for a two-days of trial sessions and my experience was positive and informative. There are several good gyms in Albuquerque, and the gym you decide to attend depends on your goals. I am looking to gain technical skills in MMA and build my strength and conditioning. Luttrell/YEE seems to be the only gym that can offer both of these. The classes at the gym are various and include jiu-jitsu (for MMA), Muay-Thai, Striking, Wrestling, Boxing, and several others. Moreover, the classes are offered several times throughout the week, which makes this gym perhaps the most accommodating to anyone with a busy schedule. This was a huge thing for me. The gym is well equipped with workout gear (jump ropes, a stationary cycle, kickboxing bags, free-weights), a cage, and a wrestling mat. I hear the gym is looking to install a TRX system and acquire a heavy lifting station as well. So the gym is/will be well set up for developing strength and stamina. Regarding coaches, the staff at Luttrell/YEE are highly qualified to teach their respective subjects. If I remember correctly, Coach Yee is a 6th degree black belt in Muay-Thai, and Coach Luttrell is a black belt in Gaidojutsu, the technical system taught at Jackson's MMA. Because the setting of the gym is fairly small, the classes are intimate. A student can expect to work with the best coaches and get personal feedback at each session they attend. One downside of the gym is the pricey enrollment fee. Luttrell/YEE probably has the highest enrollment fee in the city, but the enrollment fee does cover the cost of a starter package that includes gloves and wraps. If you already have gloves and wraps, you get $50 of gym credit that can be applied to purchase other gear or snacks and beverages. And if you leave a review, you get a pretty good discount. The enrollment fee is offset by the low membership cost. Most gyms in ABQ range anywhere from $100-$200/month depending on the type of membership you apply for. For the full MMA package at Luttrell/YEE, one can expect to pay $100/month for a year membership or $130/month for a monthly membership. These prices are on the lower range for MMA programs in ABQ and are thus highly attractive. Overall, for the quality of instruction one can expect to receive at Luttrell/YEE, the price of membership seems to be worth it.

This place sucks! Staff are jerks and will over charge if your not careful! Better places in Burque, have been training for over 12 years. Seems that they do not also respect privacy. The guys comments below Shane. Wow shane they posted all that personal info for everyone to see. Wow i would sue the crap out of them for posting my personal contract information on there. This shows how disrespectful and to what extreme they go through to try to bully people . What a bunch of Jerks! The best way to get to these jerks is to make a report to Better Buisness Bureau. You will see how they crumble and still send your payment disagreements from one credit agency to another if they loose. They refuse to accept failure on theirend and will go to extreme methods even if BBB claims you win your case , they will still go over them and send to various collection agencies here in ALB to collect something they are not owed. Did'nt work with me because I was able to prove them wrong over and over again. But the fact that they are money hungry shows what they really care about. Rosales and other places will charge you 50.00 bucks a month. Try that on for size , and no contracts. Free gym at SAN JOSE. NO NEED TO GET INTO DEBT JUST TO BE FIT AND BE A GOOD FIGHTER. GOOD PEOPLE AT THOSE PLACES WITH REAL FIGHTERS..........THESE GUYS CAN KEEP THEIR LITTLE TINY GYM FOR THE PEOPLE THAT CHOOSE TO GET A LITTLE CARD THAT SAYS YOU BELONG TO A GYM... OHHHH NOO A MEMBER SHIP CARD FOR 150.00 A MONTH .. FUNNY , AS BUGS BUNNY...

I traveled to ABQ to learn MMA at a world renowned gym here in downtown Albuquerque. I was curious who in the area might specialize in leg locks, so I started asking some of the mma fighters. Not many seemed to know or care about leg locks, and I always thought this was a major weakness. One of my teammates just by chance met Armondo, a 3rd degree black belt in jiu jitsu. He's one of the few MMA fighters who has a leg lock system for MMA, and he taught it to me. While at the gym, Coach Luttrell introduced me to his cagework system for MMA. I realized this gym is a best kept secret! Only the ABQ locals know about Chris Luttrell, and how he was one the original fighters to test gaidojutsu in real combat situations. Once I realized Coach Luttrell was interested in helping me learn his system, I couldn't be more appreciative. He teaches so many moves that work well for me! All the coaches at Luttrell Yee are top notch, and they actually take the time to help you develop as a fighter. Best of all, they take win percentage very seriously. They're not throwing fighters in the cage before they're ready. I can't wait to see what big names come out of this gym! Hopefully, I'll be one of them!!

I have been going to this gym for 5 years and never once have I had any issues with being overcharged or any nonsense like that. What I have experienced is world class instruction from some of the most decorated martial artists in New Mexico. Every single person gets the attention they need whether you are a beginner or more advanced. That was the major selling point for me and I was a member at a few other gyms before and didn't receive that personal touch from the trainers. I know that I am not going to be the next UFC champion but I don't want to be forgotten about and that has yet to happen. The staff, fighters, and other members have become great friends and the new facility they relocated to is shaping up to be something awesome. Gyms are a dime a dozen in ABQ, there is a reason why I chose this one!

I have been very pleased with ABQ Kickboxing and Luttrell's MMA since I started going a couple of months ago. I was born and raised in ABQ, but I currently live and train out of state. Even though I can't be a full time member they have been reasonable in working out a plan to allow me to attend their classes when I am in town. The expertise of Coach Yee is phenomenal and being able to learn from someone with his history, experience, and technique is priceless. There are also numerous classes offered for all levels from absolute beginner to pro. Whether you only want to get a cardio session in and hit some bags or if you want to test the waters of sparring with actual fighters this place has it all.

I was incredibly intimidated walking in to the gym but, that all faded away when I was so warmly welcomed. Having no experience to speak of with MMA, coach Yee and coach Luttrell assured me that I was well within my element. I have quickly realized that this gym and the class offerings are designed to meet you where you are. The people that attend classes have been welcoming and supportive and I have had a fantastic time and killer workouts every time I attend. Coach Yee is clearly passionate about what he does and it is apparent that he is dedicated to people's success and growth. Definitely happy I didn't let my fear hold me back from walking in :)

My 14 year old son has been attending this amazing training center for about a month. I am beyond impressed. The gym is very clean and the staff is intentionally nice and welcoming. The coaches/instructors are very professional and very skilled. As I wait and watch while my son is in class, I can’t help but notice how dynamic this environment is. There are multiple classes happening at one time and everyone is included. I have witnessed a diverse age range and skill level but all are encouraged and challenged. Luttrell/Yee MMA - ABQ Kickboxing is not just a gym, it is a community. I look forward to see how my son will learn and grow.

Coach Yee was graciously welcoming as I came for a drop in heavy bag kickboxing morning class, since I wanted to train while visiting from out of town for a few days. He replied to my email within a day. The gym was very clean, organized, spacious and active. Randi kindly helped me with the logistics and purchasing some items in their store. After the heavy bag class, other female and male students-fighters were also quite friendly. The instructor did not push those with localized injuries, allowing you to go at your own pace-skill level. Coach Yee confirmed that I had a good work out at the end. I had a really enjoyable time.

We love this place. My 9 year old daughter really needed some physical activity and to build some confidence so we decided to try the kids class out. The facility is breathtaking and exciting when you walk in. For the kids class the coaches are wonderful with the them. They really take the time to show them technique and they get a great workout at the same time. I would recommend the kids class for any girl or boy. My daughter is hooked! They even have an adult class going at the same time which is convenient. Great place.

I have been with Abq Kickboxing since 2008 and I could not be happier. The workouts are amazing, each class is different and challenging on its own level. Not only do I love the workouts but I love the technicality that each coach teaches. More importantly, the staff are really good people and care about their members. I have and will continue to recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, clean, well established, caring, kick-ass place to not only work out in but to learn.

Albuquerque kickboxing is one of the best places to train. Its a fun, hard working friendly environment filled with new stuff to learn everyday. The teachers are not only excellent at training but will comfortably push you past your limits, wile at the same time teaching you great technique and how to defend yourself! :) and 1 more good thing about a Albuquerque kickboxing is the offer kids classes come try it I promis you will love it!:)

Have been a member here since April 2015. The coaches here have helped adjust my skillset from that of a basement-dwelling softbody to a person who feels more physically competent then is probably good for themselves. Staff are happy to take the time after classes to address questions of students. Overall I much more enjoy my time at this gym due to the teaching staff and students then I do at a traditional cardio/weights gym.

This is a great place to come and workout- kickboxing, boxing, strength and conditioning, etc.. The staff and coaches are super helpful and guide you step by step if you are like me and have never tried kickboxing before. I have only done 2 classes but I feel so much better and look forward to more classes! **Update to review- I ended up joining! I am now getting friends who want to come try it!

Very welcoming and supportive environment. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. A full schedule of times to fit whatever you need. The late morning classes are small and intimate almost like a personal training session. All the instructors I've worked with have been very encouraging, well versed in their respective arts. Seventeen years in the business says a great deal.

I had been looking for a good family oriented gym, after multiple visits to different gyms, I found this gym to be the best to fit my family. The times classes are offered are perfect for us. My son is going to be doing his training here. The prices are very affordable, the staff is welcoming and the coaches are very knowledgeable, would highly recommend.

Fantastic MMA Gym! All of the coaches, staff, and students are friendly, professional, and always willing to impart knowledge to anyone who comes their way. Have always had nothing less than a great time learning new things. Schedule is on point, and with great variety of classes to pick from for my self defense/combat training goals.

I've never done a kickboxing class before, so I was amazed at how accommodating the instructors were. Everyone was really friendly and they made me feel included right away! Not only was it a fantastic workout, but by the end of the class I felt way more confident with my ability to defend myself. I can't wait for the next class!

I used to train with coach Ray way back on 4th st . I miss the MMA and striking. due to my work I just can't get in there those were the good Ole hardcore banging times now you add Chris Luttrell to the mix can't get any better then that. Maybe one day I'll get back in there.. 8am class would be nice for my schedule. Fonz.

I’ve been to two classes here so far and I love it! It’s super welcoming and easy to just jump in and get going. Judgement-free, and lots of women in the kickboxing classes so I felt very comfortable and everyone was really supportive and respectful. Buying a membership today, can’t wait to make this part of my routine!

If anyone is interested in looking for a great place to learn MMA or just get in shape I highly suggest checking this place.The staff was also very helpful and explained everything I needed to know to get started they also have some very good deals if you're not to sure if it's something that will be long term for you.

I've been taking private lessons here with Coach Yee for a couple of years now and would highly recommend it. I didn't have any previous experience with martial arts prior to joining the gym and was a little apprehensive. But I've found the staff and other members to be friendly, knowledgeable and good to work with.

The past month of attending kickboxing class has been amazing! The coaches are experienced trainers and help students when it is needed to ensure safety. The encouragement from the coaches and fellow members is what makes it enjoyable. The best part is there is a variety of times and class types. Highly recommend

The staff and the coaches are great! My son is 8 years old and was a little reluctant to join the kickboxing class with the older members. The coaches went out of their way to work with him and and make sure that he was on track. Everyone there is supportive of eachother, it's a great environment!

Love it! Great place to learn and practice! Staff and peers are very welcoming and understanding. They help when needed and always encourage to push yourself! Coaches are very skilled and know what they are doing. Recommend for experienced and also people that want to learn martial art.

I believe this is the best mma gym in Albuquerque. Whether you’re starting your martial arts journey, or enhancing you fitness routine. The entire staff and memebers make new comers feel extremely comfortable. The facility and the people are great. Don’t hesitate to check it out

this mma gym is just what I've been looking for it has the perfect environment that I've been looking for in a gym , great staff and a welcoming feeling as soon as you enter.I highly recommend for any person who wants to get in shape and learn self-defense.

Luttrell/ Yee the name says it all, two true martial artist with the experience to back it up. I am humbled to be a part of the gym. The faculty is nice and can run multiple classes at the same time. And the schedule is awesome classes running all day!.

First time trying kick boxing and I didn’t feel self-conscious, the staff was very welcoming and I felt like a member already. My daughter will also be taking MMA lessons, she is shy and they were able to get her out of her shell in her first class.

The atmosphere here is very friendly. The instructors will push and challenge you every time you come in. However, it’s only to make you a better athlete. I highly recommend this place if you want to condition and become skilled in mma and fitness!

I went for a free class and arrived a little late. The coach was super cool to take time at the end of class to show me what I missed. It was a great first experience and I'll definitely be going back. Technique is taught and that's so important.

I'm a 56yo guy with past martial arts experience. I was looking for a place to get in shape, and i sure found it. The staff and coaches are top noch, friendly and helpful The facilities are clean and family friendly.. I highly recommend this gym.

I am so happy I stepped out of my comfort zone and came to this kickboxing gym! The classes are small and inclusive. If you aren't understanding the punches, form, or anything the instructor will gladly help you one-on-one. Great work out,

knowledgeable and helpful staff. Very clean! Great variety of training to learn. Family friendly atmosphere. I would highly recommend this business to anyone who is wanting to get into shape, learn self defense or be a well rounded athlete.

This place is amazing! All the students are very welcoming and the coaches bring you right into the fold, showing beginners how to wrap their hands and introducing them to the group. If you are in need of a family this is the gym for you.

Very nice gym! Everyone is really nice. I'm new to the gym scene and thought it'd be awkward at first, but that was not the case. Everyone right away made me feel comfortable. I reccomend it to anyone looking for a fun and intense workout

One of Albuquerque's best gyms by far! Great coaches, amazing facility and they have enough classes to accommodate all schedules. Not to mention the friendly and kind members that are always willing to help out and lend encouragement!

Amazing place, very welcoming and professional. My child was instantly accepted and integrated in a class for a two-free-day trial. It was hard and tiring, but he loved every minute. Thanks to Luttrell/Yee my duck has found its water!

If you're looking for the right place this is it, I really like the gym they have everything that you need to make you a good fighter, I love training here and is not even a month since I started...ask for your first free class...

The gym and coaches are great, they have been super helpful in explaining things during and after class. I was hesitant to join without having any previous experience, but was pleasantly surprised by the encouraging environment!

Outstanding Muy Thai coaching. Coach Yee knows his stuff and is excellent at communicating it. The business has multiple may levels, depending on the length of contract you are willing to sign to. The gym is clean and orderly.

Walked in and felt extremely welcomed! There are many people at different levels and everyone is pushing their potential. I felt very comfortable working out here! I would recommend Abq Kickboxing to anyone at any level.

I took my 2 day trail and i really enjoyed it! The staff and members are very friendly and respectful. They make you feel like you belong there and give you very helpful advice. Im really impressed by this gym.

Very welcoming place. The instruction is detailed, applicable, and understandable. Anyone who enjoys martial arts can fully appreciate the wealth of knowledge and experience that this place has to offer.

Ray is a really experienced coach who works with people at different levels and is a natural teacher. We love his boxing class. Highly recommend this place and has a very friendly collegial environment

Great environment! I started this week and all of the coaches and other people have been really welcoming and helpful. There is a large variety of classes and they really have something for everyone.

When I first signed up I was very nervous but the coaches and the students made me feel very comfortable. Everybody is super friendly and willing to help each other. Would definitely recommend 10/10

Professional coaches and atmosphere. Well kept facilities. Lots of different class types and times to suit your goals. Lots of seasoned fighters here, but they also cater to beginners like me.

Love this gym. Coaches and students are all willing to help out new comers with little or no experience. Very welcoming environment and all around great place to train.

Thank you for making my introduction to kickboxing easy and fun. The staff was great with helping me pick out gloves and the paperwork, as well as my military discount.

They do not stand up to contracts. The front counter people do not understand simple issues as well as overcharge and overbill. Bad business ruins great coaching.

Love this place!! Always a good workout, great staff, and dedicated to helping you achieve that next level of fitness! I would recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome gym with extremely knowledgeable coaches. Great place to pick up the fundamentals of any martial art and even better place to train for competition.

I really enjoy the kick boxing classes here. The instructors are hands on and care for their students. You’ll learn a lot about self defense and discipline.

I took my son and he really liked how friendly everyone was the youth couches were awesome with the kids and my son loves it he wants to go back

This a great place to train and the people here are very helpful! So many things to learn and i look forward to comin over here more and more

Have been going there for about 3 years now. Excellent mentors, and great classes. I will never train elsewhere. :) LOVE abq kickboxing.

Great gym! Amazing coaching staff and environment. If you’re in the Albuquerque area, I would highly recommend checking this place out!

Bad experience. This was my first class and was treated as if I should already know what to do. Don't come here if you're a beginner.

First time ever trying any kind of mma and they were helpful and brought me through the motions while still giving me some push.

Everyone was great! Learned a lot so far and the environment was awesome! Exactly what I was looking for in a fighting Gym!

Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Instructors are very good at helping students struggling with some of the combos.

Great place for anyone at any level the community is great. Just show up the energy of the place will motivate you.

Great classes for beginners and pros, fair rates and flexible options. Professional staff and friendly classmates.

A solid training schedule which allows everyone the opportunity to train regardless of your work schedule

This is a great gym! It has a very friendly environment and the classes are fun and challenging

Really great facility and staff. Convient training schedules and great variety of classes.

I love working out here. Each class is challenging and the staff is very friendly!
