InnerCity MMA

Where to find stellar MMA training in Toronto

You can’t beat Inner City's Chinatown location next to the AGO, although it’s perhaps better known for being the most female-friendly MMA gym in the city (female BJJ practitioners ask the guys to roll). Head professor Shah Franco is a martial arts pioneer in Canada and with over thirty years experience, he’s the highest ranked BJJ coach in the country. He's also an 8th Dan in Shotokan karate and Muay Thai (that means he’s a very skilled fighter – and teacher). Despite the excitement and charged atmosphere, there are some seriously nurturing vibes at this gym. Wheelchair Accessible: No.
