Testimonials

Glena Avila – Professional Fighter/Champion

“Ron Andersen is a phenomenal coach. When I walked into his gym for the 1st time many years ago, I had ZERO knowledge or experience of being an actual MMA competitor. Through Ron's coaching, not only did I become an amateur Champion many times over but also through his guidance, was able to jump into the pro ranks and I still used the tools I learned from him, to go on & win a King of the Cage World Title. Whatever level you're at & whatever your MMA goals are, I highly recommend this gym & Ron Andersen.”

“Cipher MMA offers incredible training and community. Ron Andersen, the head coach, not only knows his craft very well but knows how to teach even the most complex moves so that you really grasp them. Training at Cipher MMA has improved my skills exponentially and I wouldn’t trade that experience for the world – especially since I’ve also found friends for life. Ultimately, this gym’s top-tier training and great community make it a rare find.”

“Ron Andersen is a coach who has an MMA IQ that’s just incomparable to most. Trained by Robert Follis who he earned his experience from as well as a group full of names known around the world. He trained me for years and I don’t think I ever went to a practice in which I didn’t learn something new, and also have a great laugh! His gym is always a fun place to be and all ages and skill levels will have a great time!”

Erin Hansen – Past student

“Ron is a helluva coach, and he makes training fun, no matter the age or level of training. He is really good at making MMA accessible to everyone. Doesn’t hurt that he’s pretty dang funny. He keeps things light, but when it’s go time, he gets things done. Highly recommend!”
