Come and Experience the Cutting-Edge Training and Mixed Martial Arts Techniques with Mantis MMA today!
From the ancient arenas of Greece to the modern day octagons, combat sports have always captivated audiences with their raw power, athleticism, and heart-pumping excitement. And of all the combat sports, none have captured the imagination quite like Mixed Martial Arts (MMA).
MMA is a truly unique sport, blending techniques from various disciplines such as boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai to create a comprehensive fighting style. It's a sport that requires both physical and mental toughness, as well as discipline, strategy, and heart. In the cage or ring, an MMA fighter must have a complete understanding of every aspect of combat, from striking to grappling, and everything in between.
The birth of MMA can be traced back to the early 1990s and the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event. This groundbreaking tournament showcased the power and versatility of the new sport, and quickly established MMA as a force to be reckoned with. In the years since, MMA has continued to evolve and grow, attracting top-tier athletes from around the world and drawing in millions of fans with its thrilling and unpredictable action.
Some of the greatest fighters in MMA history have become household names, known for their incredible skills and charismatic personalities. From Royce Gracie, who dominated the early days of the UFC with his jiu-jitsu mastery, to Anderson Silva, who thrilled audiences with his striking prowess, to Ronda Rousey, who shattered expectations and blazed a trail for women in the sport. These legends and many others have helped shape MMA into what it is today and continue to inspire new generations of fighters to pursue their dreams.
MMA is more than just a sport, it's a lifestyle. It demands dedication, sacrifice, and hard work, but it also offers the chance for growth, self-discovery, and fulfilment. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or just starting out, there's a place for you in the world of MMA. So step into the cage or ring, embrace the challenge, and unleash your inner warrior.

At Mantis MMA, we understand that people have busy schedules and limited time to spare. Our kids classes typically run for 45 minutes, while our adult classes run for 60 minutes. Over the years, we have experimented with different class lengths and found that this amount of time works best for our students to achieve maximum results. We believe that a well-structured and efficient 45-minute or 60-minute class can be much more effective than a longer, poorly run class.
With our highly trained instructors and a well-organized curriculum, you'll be able to learn new skills and techniques faster than you might expect. We place a high value on our students' time and strive to make the most of every minute in class. So, whether you're a beginner or have experience in martial arts, you can be sure that you're making the most of your time with us at Mantis MMA.
We recommend wearing comfortable workout clothes that you might wear to a typical gym or sports training session. As we train without shoes, we suggest wearing slip-on shoes like thongs for ease of movement. Please bring a water bottle and a towel to stay hydrated and comfortable during class.
Our training sessions are designed to help you push yourself, so it's important to wear clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably.
We only require a 30-day minimum commitment at Mantis MMA. However, we highly recommend that students commit to training for at least 12 months in order to see a significant return on their investment.
Not only will you see significant improvement in your physical fitness and ability to defend yourself, but you'll also experience the mental and emotional benefits that come with consistent training.
At Mantis MMA, we welcome people of all fitness levels to our classes. You don't need to be in good shape before starting martial arts with us. Our instructors are trained to provide modifications and variations for all skill levels, so you can progress at your own pace.
Our classes are designed to challenge you both physically and mentally, but they are also designed to help you build your strength, endurance, and flexibility over time. As you train with us, you will see improvements in your overall health, mental clarity, and sense of accomplishment.
So, don't worry if you're not in the best shape of your life right now. Martial arts is a journey, and we're here to help you start and continue on that journey at your own pace. All we ask is that you come with an open mind and a willingness to learn, and we'll take care of the rest.
We understand that sparring can be intimidating for some people, and we will never force anyone to do something they're not comfortable with. That being said, we do highly recommend that students try sparring to get a sense of reality and to help them deal with the fight or flight adrenaline rush that comes with it.
At Mantis MMA, we have a progressive sparring program that starts with a safe and fun introduction to sparring called Defenda Tag. Defenda Tag is a tag-based sparring system that could be thought of as Oztag for martial arts. We then progress students through defensive drills and systematically modified sparring drills to help them build their skills in a safe and controlled environment.
We have a "keep it playful" policy, which means that we don't tolerate any tough guy attitudes or aggressive behavior in our gym. By keeping sparring playful, we find that our students enjoy it more and learn faster as they are more relaxed and open to experimentation.
