Training

GRIT MMA offers training for all interests!  We provide regular sessions in MMA, Kickboxing Conditioning, Muay Thai, and grappling for 5 to 12-year/13 to 17-year youth and adults.  For youth, we focus classes on fitness, conditioning, and self-defense with developmental skills in mind.  The 13 to 17-year/adult beginner and intermediate/advanced classes are offered to a mix of individuals with different goals—some who are taking classes for fitness and conditioning or self-defense while others are preparing for amateur and professional MMA competition.  As a small gym, we can tailor our training to meet the needs of individual clients.

After training at GRIT for a year, I can say that Carson provides intense, focused training in high-level and diverse skills.  He trains his fighters to adapt to any situation and creates a strong community.  Everyone trains together and helps each other out.  You can feel confident in bringing friends and family.
