MMA in Scarborough: Common Questions

I have never trained before. Can I start MMA?

Yes. We have guided beginners all the way to amateur shows and the professional leagues, in a training environment that stays safe, friendly and fun for everyone. Every class on the list shows its level. Not sure where to begin? Send us a message and we will point you to the right first class.

Do I have to spar or compete?

No. Nobody is thrown into sparring: all-levels classes are built around technique and controlled drills with a partner, and the sparring class on the timetable is for intermediate students who choose it. Competing is your choice too. For those who want it, we look after coaching, fair match-making and management.

What will I learn in an MMA class?

Stand-up striking, wrestling and ground grappling, and how to put the three together. To go deeper into one area, the trial week also covers our kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu classes.

Is MMA good for self-defence?

MMA trains every range of unarmed fighting: striking on the feet, wrestling, and grappling on the ground. Self-defence is taught inside the regular classes; we do not run a separate self-defence course.

What do I need to bring?

Comfortable workout clothes you can move in (a T-shirt with shorts or leggings), a water bottle and a small towel. Your welcome e-mail says exactly what to bring for the class you picked.

What does it cost to try?

$30 for a one-week trial: seven days of every all-levels adult class, including kickboxing, Jiu-jitsu and open mat as well as MMA. It is a one-time payment with no contract, and nothing renews. Get started or see membership pricing.
