Cinderella Heimburger
had this to say:
From the moment I stepped into Lycan's Den MMA, I knew it was not just another martial arts gym. It’s been a couple of years since I joined, and every session in kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing, and Brazilian jiu-jitsu has been a step towards becoming a stronger version of myself.
The sense of community here is palpable. It’s a place where everyone, from beginners to seasoned fighters, can find support and camaraderie. The coaches are nothing short of amazing, bringing not only their expertise but also their passion for martial arts to every class.
As for the owners, their experience shines through in how they manage the school and interact with students. They are incredibly helpful, regardless of your skill level, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure you’re getting the most out of your training.
If you’re looking for a place that will challenge you, support you, and celebrate your victories, no matter how small, then Lycans Den MMA is where you want to be. It’s more than a gym, it’s a community that empowers you to be your best!!!

I started BJJ 2 years ago under the coaching staff of Lycans Den MMA and could not be more happy to have found this community. The coaching is the best you’ll find anywhere, the gym is clean and offers the best training environment I’ve seen, and the members train hard while always maintaining a high level of respect for each other.

Join Professor James Martin, head instructor at Lycan's Den MMA, as he teaches simple self-defense techniques and strategies! 🤼♂️
He will teach you how to close the distance, take down a bigger opponent, and learn how to control them using a combination of Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. 🥋🥊 He will also discuss topics that encourage attendees to make good decisions, to speak up when something does not seem right, and to use physical techniques only if there is a real threat.
This ✨FREE✨ workshop is taking place on Sunday, May 26th from 11-12:00 PM at 1305 E Colorado Ave, Urbana, IL 61801.
Get your friends and family together for a fun and informative self-defense workshop! Please text or call to RSVP! 📲

We're so excited to officially announce that we're adding a ✨NEW BOXING PROGRAM✨ at the start of the new year! 🥊
These classes will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:30-7:30 pm starting on January 8th, 2024! 🗓 They're going to be taught by our very own professional bare knuckle boxer, Stevo Morris, and Quynten Watson!
This program is designed for anyone ages ten and up in the beginner to intermediate level. During these classes, you will learn basic boxing combinations, head movement, footwork, and defense and counters. 🤼♂️ It will be solely focused on technique with no sparring involved.
If you and/or your child are already enrolled in a membership and are interested in adding this program, please see Cassie or James Martin about pricing details.
Many students have been requesting us to incorporate boxing classes into the schedule and we are thrilled to be able to now offer this new program as we know it will greatly benefit everyone, whether you are a hobbyist or are a serious competitor! 👊🐺
