We have an Amateur and Beginner MMA Programs designed for fighters/martial artists with minimal to none MMA experience looking to get into the fight business. You will be training under a close supervision of experienced coaches and fighters. As you train and progress, you will be told when you are ready to start competing in the amateur fights. To have a priviledge training here will be contingent on you seeking out and partaking in local grappling, kickboxing, and other Martial Arts tournaments. We would like you to have at least one competition a month. We understand it’s not always possible to find and afford going to different tournaments, but your effort will be acknowledged, and you should always consult with your coaches about your current situation and any difficulties you might have. Once you show enough progress, and your coaches evaluate your skill level, you will be encouraged to start taking amateur MMA fights, and within due time, and as you gain more knowledge, you will be moved to the Pro MMA Program. Everyone progresses differently and at a different pace, so there is no time limit how long it takes for you to make it to the next level. It’s all in your hands to earn your way into the Pro Team.
