BEWARE, LUDUS MMA GYM IS A SCAM!!!
I have reported this organization to the BBB, and I am currently working with an attorney to resolve this problem.

DON’T FALL FOR THE FALSE PROMISES THAT THEY CANNOT HONOR!!!

Ludas Martial Arts is the BIGGEST SCAM ever!!! They claim to be this and that and that they have had all these fights. LIARS. Maybe tough guys BUT have no REAL TEACHING experience! Looks like steroids and tattoos!!! They have no real way to give you rank or test you. BIG SCAM!!!! DO NOT TRAIN AT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!

This is the worst gym in Jacksonville!!! Billy Mitchell the owner is a liar he lost every fight he has ever had exept one and tells everybody he is 70-0 undefeated lol! He has cheated so many people over in the MMA community in this town that he is to scared to show his face at any mma shows or grappling tourneys.

If you go in for the free session, be prepared to be pressured to sign a one year contract in which you will be misled into believing that the owner will help you in any way possible if you should ever have to cancel the contract. Beware: cancellation penalty is one month’s fee plus 80% of the remaining balance on the contract! Go to Karate Arts where you will not be locked into a contract, receive budget friendly rates and the environment is much more family friendly.

SCAM SCAM SCAM Ludus will lie to you and cheat you out of your money. Billy will tell you that you are signing a contract to automatically take money out of your account but fails to mention that he just signed you into a one year contract, which if you don’t abide to Billy will proceed to steal money from your account. His record is a lie all of the coaches have left because he didn’t pay them an Daniel Moares was there one time and one time only. He currently has 4 claims against him with the BBB and more suits follow. Don’t fall into his trap everything he says is a lie he has lost all of his fighters because of this just trying to give everyone else a heads up.

BILLY MITCHELL IS A SCAM!!!!!! HE IS A LIAR !!!!! He is an embarrassment to the martial arts!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL. They pressure you into signing a contract and they are never open when they say they are going to be. They LIED about everything, He has no real teaching experience, or fighting experience. The worst martial arts school in jacksonville!

this place is this biggest SCAM! you need to google Ludus Martial Arts Reviews and see the real reviews!! BILLY MITCHELL is the biggest scammer!! you need to google who he really is you will see he owes people money left and right!! he has hopped from gym to gym for years! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE dont put your money in the hands of these people!!

wow… always can find you somewhere by simply google searching… to find “scammer, liar,fake” … To think i thought it was just me… and to be a father… how can you screw people over in your town where your family lives?! not a good way to show your child daddy is a scammer, liar, and steals peoples hard earn money… thats a low down shame. and to think the years of respect i had as a “friend” to see it wasnt just me getting the “coolest guy, i’m this this and that” ego. where are these 70ish-3 fights coming from? i’ve heard over the years of 3. and 2 were losses

So glad we didn’t sign up… almost did, but I guess someone up there was watching out for my family. Read these reviews and it’s all crystal clear now. This is the type of guy that preys on other’s hard earned money because he has no conscience, lies about his accomplishments because he has none, and will wind up being the biggest loser in the end … in a prison cell probably. I feel so sorry for anyone who got taken in by this dude and will have to figure it out the hard way, by getting used, scammed and victimized by this little man.

I do not recomend this gym to ANYONE, ANYTIME!!!! Billy Mitchell is the owner and has burned bridges his whole life. I’ve known him personally for many years, he truly only cares about himself and trying to get his pockets phat, and he will and does lie cheat and steal to try and succeed, he’s always been a piece of sh**. He advertises an olympic boxer from 2004 but you google the whole team and clearly that dude wasn’t on the team, That Daniel Moraes has only ever been there a few times,the so calles wrestling stud’s information is all lies,and the guy behind all these lies is is 71-3 Mr. Mitchell himself look him up on http://www.mixedmartialarts.com all official records and you’ll see he’s really 3-9 as a pro. He know absolutly nothing about Muay Thai and he doesnt care about the sport at all. Just do yourself a huge favor and do not go there ever for anything!

As a mother, I would say that this gym is a perfect place to take your children. There is a great mix of age groups and Billy is an excellent teacher. He is gentle, patient and really knows how to push the kids in a positive way. I love watching my son train with Billy and his friends have all gotten involved too. I really love Billy’s new location….the floor space is expansive and the gym as a whole is very welcoming. I would highly recommend Ludus.

Great gym, great instructors!

I met with Billy a few times and had my son and friend take classes. No contract, just very fair monthly fee. I am a very experienced business man and have learned to take in others reviews and opinions but Always make your own judgement on a person. My dealings with Ludus have been nothing but positive and would have no problem recommending them to others.

excellent gym , great coaches, skilled fighters, and good teammates

i came here weighing 206 and after 6 months i met my goal of weighing 180, great gym intense workouts!!

This gym is amazing, I loved everything about this gym!!! The atmosphere is extremely homey and the coaches are with you every step of the way. I would strongly recommend this gym to anyone looking to train or just get in shape.

Ludus is literally my second home, I’ve been all over Jacksonville training at different gyms and this is the only one I’ve stuck with. Billy has opened many doors for me in my fighting career and is with me every step of the way. I recommend this gym to anyone out there wanting to make a career in fighting. Ludus has an amazing comp team and they all work with you and make sure that you are making as much progress as they are.

awesome gym ive always wanted to train mma and now im around real fighters almost everyday of my life and i get to go watch all their fights with vip seats and the gym is right next to my house so it is very convenient

I strongly recommend this gym to anyone!!! Great facility as well as a great atmosphere.

i love this gym i came for the wrestling program because i was a state champ in high school back in my hometown of Houston but as soon as i started i became interested in all the arts taught here

I love coming to this gym, not only because of the top notch coaches but the guys that train here are such good people . whether there pro, amateur or just training for a juijitsu tournament they all are so nice and willing to help out the new guys like me

I joined Ludus about a month ago, and it was the best decision I have made since moving to Jacksonville. As a female, I was reluctant in joining an MMA school, but Coach Billy and the rest of the coaches and staff have been nothing but welcoming. Everyone at the gym has gone out of their way to make me feel at home in such a new environment, and as a result, I wake up everyday excited to get to the gym. I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!

I’ve been going to the gym for about a month now and I love it. All the coaches are extremely professional and patient. I was not pressured into a contract at all. Personally I think Billy is a great guy. He supports our local military and gives us a break when and where he can. I cannot speak to his MMA career or his past but he seems very knowledgeable and has taught me more in the past month than I thought was possible. I have no problem recommending the gym to anyone interested in the sport. It’s unfortunate that people have had a bad experience in the past but like most things in life there are always two sides to the story. Hope this review helps.

This gym is a total scam. I was getting out of the navy and said that I didn’t want to sign a contract, Billy said no problem “I’ll set you up monthly, I won’t even run your card till you come back” ….. I transfered out of the Navy and move to MA, a month after I move, I get billed…. This piece of work put my name on a contract and submitted it. Took me almost three months of getting billed, but the billing company reimbursed me for everything and told me they were ready to drop this guy because he was a pain in their ass. Kinda says somthing huh? STAY AWAY, FAR AWAY. The “coach” claimed he was a Army ranger when I talked with him, and then proceded to have a 14 year old punk run the class since his shoulder was “acting up”…… way to ranger up pal…….
