“For me, Revolution Mixed Martial Arts is the best school to train MMA in Arkansas. At Revolution, they have a big structured program, teachers that are real fighters and still competing, and they have knowledge in jiu-jitsu, wrestling and kickboxing. In addition they have multiple locations where I can train, with classes for all levels from beginner to advanced. Whenever I am in the US, I always go train at Revolution.”

“PROFESSIONAL STAFF, OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTORS, OVERALL GREAT PLACE….If you are looking for a place for your children or yourself to gain good athletic skills or simply get in shape, then this is the place to go. Revolution’s professional staff and facility provides the adequate safe training you need to obtain your goals. Without a doubt, Revolution is setting the standards for other gyms to follow. They are a leader inside this industry. The best way to see what I am mentioning is to try their trial program.”

“I joined the Muay Thai Kickboxing class at Revolution back in June of 2010 and have loved it ever since! Just graduating college I was looking for something new in life to challenge me. I have found just that. What I like most about the class is toning your body to a healthier stronger state, but doing it in a way that is a lot of fun. Not only being able to learn self discipline but also protection. The people in class are fun and easy to work with and they are very supportive. I am so glad to have found a gym with the people and the instructors such as Abby Malone that will take the time and that wants to make sure you get it and do it right. Abby supports you and pushes you to strive harder than the class before .I know I have learned so much in techniques over the year but so much eager to learn more. I live an hour away from the gym but to me it’s worth the drive plus the time and effort. I can’t ever wait till the next class! Over all the best place to train in any manner!”

“Through the course of my career I have had the opportunity to work with many great leaders. Each has their own particular style and approach to building success, yet a rare few have stood above the rest and built the lives of their community. It is a rare breed to find those strong enough to lead but with the open hand of compassion for those around, to which Jory and Abby Malone stand amongst the highest rung of leaders.

 While their resume provides a long list of awards and accolades for their athletic accomplishments, well beyond the limelight of success at the highest level of sport is their commitment to their sport and improving their community. Whether serving as brilliant ambassadors to their sport or tackling the concerns of child, Jory and Abby Malone are extraordinary coaches and leaders in not simply their sport but all of society. 

Without qualification I wholehearted support the work of Jory and Abby Malone and have utmost confidence in the services they provide to their sporting discipline and community action.”

“Revolution MMA has changed not only my life but my husbands as well! Abby and Jorey are great instructors. They bring their love and respect of the martial arts to their classes, and fully engage every student individually! While there are many great physical/health benefits to the training, the sense of accomplishment, self respect, and confidence gained through the training are indescribable; and this makes REVOLUTION MMA the most positive martial arts experience in central Arkansas! “

“Since joining Revolution MMA I’ve lost weight, gained confidence and met some wonderful people. Everyone at Revolution from beginner to advanced level fighters are there to help you attain your fitness goals, whatever they be. I love it!”

 - Chris Champagne (former professional soccer player)

“When I came to Revolution I weighed 285 lbs. I was inactive and needed change in my lifestyle. I will say that starting out was not easy and it was hard work. But the benefits are guaranteed! I’ve lost 40 lbs and I feel great. I’m stronger, faster, and more flexible than ever. I’ve made some good friends and look forward to every class. In addition, I just had my first Kickboxing fight, something I thought I’d never do. Come join us, you will have fun!”

~ Paul S.

“My now almost 16 year old daughter began Kickboxing at Revolution MMA last year, it has drastically improved her self-confidence! She loves practices and never wants to miss! She gets so much exercise and in a fun way that also teaches her how to protect herself. Jory and Abby are wonderful, they work well with everyone and it has become more like a family. She always comes home telling me about the wonderful people she works with. I am looking forward to some daytime classes that I can attend, Thank you Abby for taking care of my girl and teaching her to take care of herself!!”

“I have been in the Martial Arts for 10 years off and on before starting the kickboxing program with Abby. I thought I was in good enough shape to be able to keep up. I was very wrong, the workout was quite intense. But the great thing about it is I can vary the intensity to fit my personal goals and needs. The team atmosphere is great, and pushes you to become better each day. Over the past 6 months I have gone from 220 lbs to 183 lbs. My core strength has improved and my stamina increases every day!”

~Jonathan Miller

I have done boxing since I was a kid. I started kickboxing at about 19. I am not a professional fighter; I don’t have much desire to go be the next UFC star. I am a regular guy, who has a good knowledge of the professionals because of my time at Revolution.

I do kickboxing because it is great for my health! For one, I can lose about 2-3 hundred calories or more in an hour long session. When I spar, it is about 400 calories or more! It’s an excellent overall workout for strength and conditioning. In class, I determine what I want to do, and how hard I work. There is something for everyone, whether it be individuals like me who are looking to get in shape, or the competitors who train more vigorously.  Revolution provides a controlled safe environment for all classes, and I know I am in good hands at Revolution. The staff members have competed internationally and at all levels from Amateur to Professional MMA. They regularly send members of the competition team to compete as well, starting them with a good basic knowledge, which increases as their own skills increase.

One of the better aspects of the program at Revolution is the guest instructors brought in to train with us. Revolution offers several seminars a year in which different instructors will give you different aspects of the game and share their individual knowledge with us.  This helps me grow my skill set and my overall confidence.

I really enjoy training at Revolution. The people at Revolution enjoy being around one another; we frequently have social events outside of the gym, which allows everyone to make new friends and have fun.

“Revolution is the best in the business hands down! Great instructors, great students, great learning atmosphere. The staff and students create a new and exciting atmosphere for learning. If your serious about training and putting in the work to meet your own personal physical goals this is the place and the people to do it with. Its a team not a gym everyone is here and willing to help. 205 lbs when I walked in the door the first day, now i am at a competitive 160 lbs. The results speak for themselves.”

~Chris

“I have trained in martial arts for over 30 years, and I feel strongly that you will be hard-pressed to finding a better place to train than Revolution Mixed Martial Arts. I know that you have many choices in terms of training, but I highly recommend you train with Jory and Abby Malone. First, they have the credentials. Whether you are looking for success in competition or general physical fitness, Jory and Abby have worked hard to obtain the credentials for education, training, and application. Their competition record speaks for itself. But more important than their own competition success, I see the ability to help their students succeed. What truly sets them apart is the combination of hard work, scientific training, and personal investment that they make with every student who walks in their school, whether it is to become an expert competitor or simply get in shape.

As an educator and counselor, I can attest to the professionalism that Jory and Abby display when teaching, whether for kids or adults. They provide a solid curriculum and expert strategies to encourage personal success through traditional values across all skill levels for any age.”
