What it is
The complete martial artist
Mixed martial arts is where grappling and striking meet: takedowns and wrestling to control where the fight happens, Muay Thai to strike, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to finish or escape on the ground. Training MMA at Aces means learning how those pieces connect — not three separate arts, but one integrated game.
Our founder, Professor Mikal Abdullah, is a professional fighter as well as a 3rd Degree BJJ Black Belt — the MMA program carries the same teach-the-why method as our BJJ syllabus.
Who it’s for
Fighters and future fighters — and everyone else
You don’t need a fight booked to train MMA. Most students do it for the challenge and the conditioning — it’s the most complete workout in the gym. Those who do want to compete get a clear, coached path there, with intensity that’s always earned and never forced on beginners.
New to everything? Start with a free session in BJJ Core or Muay Thai and build in — our coaches will map the path with you.
