Regarding the MMA programs: Can I become an MMA fighter?
Yes, you will receive legitimate MMA training, and have opportunities to compete (although competition is not required). The majority of the MMA classes are fighting-based. Aside from designing the MMA programs, Anthony “TJ” Waldburger, a former UFC welterweight competitor with professional victories at the highest level of mixed martial arts also coaches the schools fight team.
Why teach coaching in the MMA program?
Lets talk facts: less than 10% of amateur fighters become professional fighters. Of those, less than 1% end up making a living at it. And for those who do—it typically only lasts a few years. Coaching it taught so that our students can have a long career in the field of MMA.
