THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF?
Do you want to push yourself athletically and tone your body like a professional athlete?
Do you want to be able to defend yourself in dangerous situations?
Do you need a healthy way to burn off stress and get rid of aggression?
EVER FEEL IN A RUT FROM THE SAME OLD WORKOUTS AT THE GYM?
Your body gets accustomed to your usual routine and you’re not getting the results you want. You know you need a challenge.
MMA focuses on physical fitness and the mind-body connection. It presents a unique challenge for your body and your brain. Some of the best athletes in the world have turned to martial arts as a way of honing their physical and mental skills.
YOU WILL GROW WITH EVERY CLASS!
You’ll tone and train your entire body while learning how to creatively combine some of the world’s most effective fighting techniques into one discipline that you can use in the ring – or in self-defense.
MMA PUSHES YOUR BODY TO ITS PEAK
If you want to get into the best physical shape of your life, climbing onto a treadmill a few times a week just isn’t going to get the job done.
MMA combines many forms of martial arts into a new and exciting physical challenge, toning every muscle and burning fat better than most other forms of exercise.
Not only that, MMA works every aspect of physical fitness, building strength, endurance, and flexibility all at the same time.
MMA GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE TO DEFEND YOURSELF
Self-defense is as much about training as it is about strength and size. The biggest, beefiest guy in the world can still lose a fight if he’s not trained.
MMA is the ultimate fighting method because it uses the best techniques from boxing, karate, jiu-jitsu, and many other martial arts, combined to give you the tools you need to defend yourself in any situation.
Because MMA is a competitive sport, you’ll get plenty of practice sparring and training, meaning that you’ll be ready for whatever dangers you encounter.
MMA BUILDS COMPETITIVENESS AND CONFIDENCE
Training to fight is the heart of MMA, even if you never do!
Competing against other fighters allows you the opportunity to prove that you have the strength, agility, and determination to come out on top.
The discipline required for MMA training builds confidence and allows every student to walk with pride.
MMA ELIMINATES STRESS AND ANXIETY
Every one of us feels stress and anxiety some of the time – and constant stress is bad for your body and your mind.
MMA training provides the intense, stress-relieving workout you crave. By increasing the connection between body and mind, and enforcing discipline and self-control, MMA banishes stress.
The stress relief provided by MMA carries over into your work life and your personal life, providing you with the outlet you need for negative emotions.

Fantastic academy!!! Professor Pat and Professor Hammer are the best! They run a very professional program with technical instruction and safe training environment. It’s been a great pleasure to train and learn from them.

I’ve been training here since January and I don’t see myself changing schools anytime soon. I’m hooked. The instructors are full time professionals in their disciplines, and they are all very approachable and will make time for students. They always emphasize the students are a team. We are all there to support each other and challenge our training partners to raise their levels! Many of the students compete regularly in regional, national, and international tournaments. The quality of the student body is high. When I attend class I feel like I’m learning from people who are professionals at what they do, which is literally true for some. Everyone who trains and teaches here follows a tone of respect too. I hope to get many years of training here!

I’ve been a member here for the past 9 months and cannot say enough good things about OAMA. The instructors are world-class and their dedication to the club is unreal. There’s such a great vibe here, the members you roll with become family and you help each other advance and improve. It’s such a humbling experience and I highly suggest it for everyone; kids to seniors and everything in between. They offer a free week for anyone that wants to try it out and it’s a great way to see how you like it. Everyone is friendly and it makes it so easy to jump in and have fun. If you’re considering it, don’t think any longer, just stop by!
