Lycan Mixed Martial Arts - Martial arts school in Columbia - 1916 Taylor St, USA

The gym culture is amazing. Large and clean space makes you want to put in more work! Family friendly with detailed coaching. Everybody is superfriendly and welcoming. I can't recommend it enough.

Such a beautiful facility with great instructors! It's obvious how dedicated the coaches, especially the head coach, are to growing martial arts - American Jiu-Jitsu in particular. They make it fun for all ages. I truly feel like the sport is for everyone when I'm here. I am especially looking forward to the Women's jiujitsu class starting next year (almost here!)

Lycan MMA is the go-to gym for all levels. Whether your goal is to just get in great shape or become a high-level Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Competitor, Lycan MMA is the Best gym you'll find!

Coach Nader puts on occasional awesome workshops where I train - Carolina Combatives in Anderson, SC. I also sent my son’s best friend (who is a U of SC student) to him for his entry into BJJ. This young man is like family , so I entrusted him only to the best. Nader is highly educated (multiple graduate degrees) in sport psychology and exercise physiology in addition to being a high level grappling competitor. Most importantly, he’s a good man. It’s hard to find this combination of attributes and we are fortunate to have Nader Tannir in South Carolina.

Excellent gym for complete beginners, experienced competitors, and everyone in between! Coach Nader is not only accomplished in the sport, but backs up his resume with high quality coaching and instruction. The facility is top of the line, clean, and modern. I would highly recommend Lycan MMA to anybody looking to start their BJJ experience, as well as to anybody who may just be passing through - you will absolutely come out with a positive experience.

Huge mat space! Great culture! The coach is a world class athlete and coach. The gym constantly brings world class people to train with.

Lycan MMA is an incredible facility. With one of the best and fastest growing competition teams. They also have an amazing kids program that promotes, self control, confidence and work ethic into their students. Incredible Jiu-Jitsu and attention to detail. If you want to improve your Jiu-Jitsu or get fit it is a must you come here.

Professor Nader is a excellent coach and competitor. You can tell he really cares about his students and provides a positive and clean environment. He has a wealth of knowledge in competition and self defense. Excellent school for people new to the sport and more advanced BJJ athletes!!
