Climbing to the top of this category for the first time, Ronin Fitness and MMA (800 Wisconsin St., Suite 209, Eau Claire) is grown increasingly popular for its variety of programming, including Brazilian Jiujitsu, Muay Thai, kicking boxing and more. AKF Martial Arts Academy (1606 S. Hastings Way, Eau Claire), which invites those as young as age three and up to its studio, has been voted into the top three since the category’s debut in 2022. Rounding out the top three is Club 37 Jiu-Jitsu (W3450 WI-37, Eau Claire), another mixed martial arts space growing in popularity. —McKenna Scherer
