The Chute MMA

The Chute MMA in Bakersfield, California, is run by Bryan “The Bull” Travers, a coach with over 20 years of experience in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and wrestling. Bryan has competed at high levels, including placing second at the IBJJF World Masters No-Gi and fighting in Bellator and Strikeforce. His background blends 35 years of wrestling expertise with two decades of MMA training, shaping a curriculum that covers multiple martial arts disciplines under one roof. Training at The Chute includes gi and no-gi Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for adults and kids starting at age six. The gym also offers Muay Thai and collegiate-style wrestling sessions. Classes are structured to develop technique, fitness, and mental toughness, with separate times for beginner to advanced students. Open mat sessions on Sundays provide extra time for sparring and drilling. The kids’ program runs multiple times a week, focusing on self-confidence and physical conditioning alongside martial arts skills. The gym’s schedule is designed to accommodate different training goals, with group classes and private lessons available. Adults can train no-gi jiu-jitsu on Monday and Wednesday evenings, followed by Muay Thai or MMA classes later in the week. Wrestling classes take place twice weekly, emphasizing takedowns and grappling fundamentals. The facility welcomes drop-ins and supports first responders and military personnel with a discount. Equipment is sold separately, and the team encourages serious students to consider private coaching for faster progress.
