MMA for Fitness, Self-Defense or Competition!
GRIT MMA is a premier mixed martial arts training and fitness school, expertly designed for youth, teens, and adults seeking fitness or to build MMA skills for self-defense or competition.
Our training is built on the idea that Mixed Martial Arts should be taught as a complete, unified discipline — not just pieced together from separate styles. While most gyms grow out of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or striking backgrounds, we train our students in fully integrated systems from day one. We use techniques from many disciplines including Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. Whether you’re here for fitness, self-defense, or competition, we focus on real growth and real resolve through intentional training — all in a strong, respectful culture.

Our Location
Serving the Portland, Oregon Metro communities from Milwaukie, GRIT MMA is in the Twin Oaks Plaza on Mcloughlin Boulevard.
Our Space
Our dream was to create a premier MMA school that is welcoming to everyone– appealing to children, teens, and adults. The training room has 1,800 feet of mat space and a viewing area for parents and friends. Students and friends often gather in the reception area before and after class.



A full set of weights, kettle bells, aerodyne bike, cold plunge and ultraviolet sauna are available for use by our upper-tiered program students. See our video walking tour.
