Montreal MMA gym produces the best

For Canadian fighters it's been called the ‘Disney Land' of MMA. The Tristar gym in Montreal boasts some impressive specs, and the real-life production to put the gym on the map as arguably, the best in Canada.

A 13,500 square foot facility has been home to many of the premiere fighters coming out of Canada, mainly ones from Quebec, such as UFC Welterweight Champion Georges St. Pierre, and many fighters that have pro MMA experience like David Loiseau, Patrick Cote, Denis Kang and Jonathan Goulet.

So, with an impressive list of characters going on to having great MMA careers, you have to be asking, what makes a gym like this so special? Well, it's a mixed bag of factors that make a gym successful and it seems that Tristar deserves five stars when it comes to producing top MMA talent in Canada.

First off, the trainers and training you receive is geared to MMA. It's great to train specifically in wrestling and boxing, but that's not going to help you when it comes to an MMA fight if you are a one dimensional fighter. At Tristar, you are able to reach into that mixed bag and pull out some of the best, and relevant training. Classes in Kick Boxing, Maui Thai, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and Vale Tudo have all received rave reviews from members of the game, and that's not from members that have made the UFC either, or fight professionally for that matter.

Because of the sheer size of the gym, Tristar can offer a vast amount of classes, and just because there are talented fighters training there from time-to-time, don't be scared away. Many people looking to start MMA are a little gun-shy when it comes to choosing a gym.

Tristar is the type of place where you can go train and workout with no intentions of going pro. We all know the type of training MMA fighters partake in, and combined with the right diet, it can be the perfect activity to get you back into shape, or maybe in shape for the first time. But maybe going pro in MMA is the goal, than Tristar is the right spot for that.

After all, the proof is in the pudding with the products that come out of Tristar. Whenever you mention the name Georges St. Pierre, you instantly think champion. When you mention Patrick Cote, you think about how he was arguably beating Anderson Silva before he hurt his knee in a championship fight. What about David Loiseau? He's a former title contender, who's back on the fast track to success. And guys like Denis Kang and Jonathan Goulet who are amongst the ranks in the premiere organization in MMA, the UFC. From that alone, it's easy to associate success with Tristar.

But, we cannot all go pro and hold the UFC title, or any other title for that matter, that's why with Tristar being the biggest gym in Canada it really exemplifies the direction MMA is headed. Not as a sport where it's all about professional athletes, but a sport where there is competition at the grass roots of the sport as well.
