Mcsweeney Martial Arts and Performance Center

Excellent coaches. True fitness experts. All coaches have a broad knowledge base across multiple disciplines. There are also top tier specialist coaches for black belt/pro level students. I’m a novice, older than 45, and while it’s been honestly more intense than I anticipated upon signing up, I’m loving it and it’s been great for my overall fitness, alleviates stress, better sleep, and I’m also training with world champion fighters. Come give it a try. You’ll be glad you did!

I was in town for a few days and was looking for boxing gyms that had real boxing training opposed to just cardio boxing classes. After speaking with a few, I knew Mcsweeney Martial Arts was the place to go. I set up an appointment, did a padwork session with coach Mario, one of the boxing trainers and had a great experience. The prices here are extremely reasonable, the gym itself was spotless and clean as well as the bathroom, and the entire staff here is super friendly. I’ll definitely be back the next time I'm in town.

I have been cyber stalking this gym for over a year, since they opened. Admittedly, I was too intimidated to go in at that time, though I really wanted to.

That was a huge mistake. I should have joined a year ago....

I’ve been coming here for 6 weeks now, and from day one everyone has been extremely kind, helpful and exceptionally welcoming.

The coaches are exceedingly knowledgeable in all aspects of their sport, including nutrition, and are excited to share it with anyone, at any level. They are super supportive and very patient.

The other members are super nice and willing to help you out with pointers, or even just moral support.

This gym is very much a family, who support one another. You’ll find that we all come from different walks of life with different jobs/careers, different cultures and different backgrounds.

It doesn’t matter where you come from, or what kind of shape you are in. If you are willing to work hard, you will fit in here, 100% guaranteed.

**FOR WOMEN: Though all of the classes help you get in shape, and learn to fight, the women’s self defense classes are invaluable. There is a membership option for just the women’s self defense, if that’s all you are interested in. Please come and bring your mothers, sisters and daughters (teenager and above). Every women should be in this series.**

Training here at MMA on 15th Street in Plano, TX, has been a huge life changer! From the moment I stepped into the gym and met James, the owner, I felt welcomed and encouraged to give this place a try! James has been taking my training to another level in strength and conditioning! Being surrounded by such a great community has truly given me a new level of positive energy. I leave every training day here feeling fulfilled.
As "lifter," I have everything I need from dumbbells to squat racks and benches. But I've been loving the MMA/UFC cage to get some sparring and shadow boxing going, including all the variety of heavy bags. Y'all need to come check it out!

It’s a blessing to live near and train in a gym run by an absolute legend in McSweeney. I’m in the best shape of my life and I’ve been able to apply everything I learn here to my everyday life. If you’re looking for an inclusive gym that has nice people and will help you reach your goals, this is it

Awesome experience training with the legend James Mcsweeney. He has been a role model ever since I came into the gym, helping everyone individually, pushing us to be our best, and making me a better individual all around. You would be lucky to train with such a great coach and man in James McSweeney.

Mcsweeney martial arts has really changed my life. I was never into working out and now I am in the best shape of my life. Like everything you get what you put in. Everyone is very professional and skilled.

I went by to see the gym before bringing the kiddos. McSweeney was nice to meet and offered a free class...the kiddos loved it. We joined after! The coaches are knowledgeable and know how to instruct. Entire staff is great. McSweeney's is the real deal but go by and see for yourself and I think you'll agree.

Amazing experience. This is a competition gym. They teach everyone from beginners to experts. Classes in what you need from professional fighters. Great energy in the space too. Everyone is super supportive and seems to be on the same page. They offer kids classes and breathing classes too. They have an ice bath, full gym, octagon, everything you need, and CLEAN. Coach James and Coach Joe are there for you, seemingly any time. They personally come with us to tournaments and fights and coach us to victory! 10/10

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. World class athlete coach/ owner / world champion.
Couldn’t pick a better place when in Plano to train.
Clean and new gym to get your mind and body right.

been coming to the gym for about two years the atmosphere is great. You can tell the staff care about what they do by the way, they treat everyone inside the gym, regardless of skill level, or reason for coming to the gym they just want to help you reach your goals. If you’re looking to improve health through exercise, or learn a martial art, this is the place to be. they give you an immense amount of tools, classes, and advice to put you on the right path to achieve your goals the only thing left is for you to put it in action.

UPDATE: Been a regular member now for almost a year and a half and I love this gym!!!❤‍🔥 Nothing but respect, love and inspiration for my gym fam and each of the Coaches!!! They love what they do and it shows! Proud to be a member here!! 💯💣💥

I visited this amazing gym on a 2 month Groupon deal and found my gym! I have been training here now for 11 months and I love it!!!🔥❤‍🔥🤩 Top notch training and instruction! Lots of classes throughout the day! The 6 week transformation challenge is quite popular too! Coach and owner, James McSweeney along with his crew are THE BEST!!! 💯🙏🏻🥊🥋👊🏻😎

All around great gym if you are skeptical of signing up please do.Its not that expensive and provides a wide range of martial arts and the coaches are really nice.

I must say this is the best money I’ve ever spent. During the 6 week challenge I didn’t really let go of my poor eating habits but during the last two weeks I went hard💪🏾 When I lost inches and my bathing suit didn’t fit I got serious about investing in myself. I love the encouraging environment.

Best gym, best Coach!🔥 Coach Mcksweeney and his team are changing my life and my family’s lives on a daily basis. We are all truly grateful.

I was tired of just lifting weights at the gym, and I have always had an interest in MMA training. I finally got the nerves at age 40 to enter Mcsweeney Martial Arts and Performance Center. I was surprised how welcoming the instructors are, the excellent facility layout, and the overall teamwork feeling in the building.

The skill levels differ in each class, you will be among individuals training for Amateur and Professional fights, but also beginners and intermediate levels.

I'm extremely happy with my personal results by attending the Muy Thai and Dutch Kickboxing classes. For anybody that wants a GREAT workout, and learn the art of Dutch Kickboxing, Muy Thai or BJJ I would highly recommend this gym.

I love this gym. I love the coaching, the team, and the environment. I never regret showing up to train. The Coaches and my teammates push me to get better every time I step on the mats.

I have been a member of this fight family for 2 1/2 yrs . There is always learning being done , training to be had . You see and meet people at all levels of fitness and none that think they are better than the other . All here to help each other . Staff and Coach are top notch and HONEST . I have always been charged appropriately and timely with MY gym fees. There was 1 time where I added my dtr than needed to cancel membership on her and had no issue whatsoever!!!!!!! I believe you get out what you put in and there has NEVER been a time since starting here that I have not been able to come to MY COACH or his staff and ask questions. MY COACH has helped guide me in not only my physical journey but my mental journey. I have tried other DRW facilities and I’m not going to down grade anyone but from the moment I entered McSweeney Martial Arts …… THAT WAS IT FOR ME !!!!! Come try it out , if hard work Ian’s results is what you desire this is the place for you . If you are looking for somewhere you can go and still have your hair cute and makeup on (esp lashes 😂😂😂😂😂) then keep moving . 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Otherwise, hope to see ya there . Come find me and say Hi ! I will help you anyway I can . It’s what we do there !

McSweeney Martial Arts has changed my life for the BEST!!! Not only am I in the best shape of my life thanks to Coach McSweeney and his staff, but this gym has also affected other aspects of my life positively such as my overall mood, work, and interpersonal skills. A passion to perform at a higher standard has been created within me which will help me in my future endeavors. I can also see this same metamorphosis in my little brother. I am very proud and happy to see his character development ever since joining McSweeney MMA.

This is all thanks to the genuine kindness and experienced teachings of Coach McSweeney and his staff.
