MMA Training — Where Every Discipline Comes Together

Looking for an MMA gym that actually trains all three ranges — striking, wrestling, and submissions — instead of just one? Our MMA program pulls directly from our Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Submission Wrestling classes, so you're training with the same coaches in the same room, not bouncing between unrelated gyms.

Official Daniel Gracie Team Affiliate

Authentic lineage. Black-belt instruction.

What's included: striking fundamentals from Muay Thai, takedowns and control from Submission Wrestling, ground finishing from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and structured conditioning — not just sparring. Classes are built in tracks for adults, kids, and women, so no one gets thrown in over their head.

THREE DISCIPLINES, ONE SPORT

What Is MMA Training?

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) combines striking, wrestling, and ground submissions into a single discipline. Rather than specializing in just one range, you train to be effective everywhere — on your feet, in the clinch, and on the ground.

Cross-trained by design

Our MMA coaches also teach Muay Thai, Submission Wrestling, and BJJ — so the transitions between ranges are taught by people who live in all three.

Structured, not just sparring

You'll build striking, takedowns, and submissions systematically before live rounds, so sparring is where you test skills, not where you learn them.

“I was fortunate to start my Jiu-Jitsu journey under Coach Brett Linebarger two years ago in Philadelphia. He is a phenomenal trainer and, off the mats, an even better person and friend. Daniel Gracie Delco is sure to become a community staple and a future hub of champions. I cannot recommend it enough.”

“I’ve trained BJJ for over five years and visited dozens of gyms across the country. Professor Brett teaches some of the best fundamental classes I’ve ever taken. He shows important details that some instructors gloss over and explains the concepts behind the success or failure of a technique. I highly recommend taking one of Brett’s classes.”

“This is my first experience training in BJJ. I’m 45 and wanted to do something to stay in shape, but it turned out to be so much more than I expected. The instruction is exceptional, the workout is great, and there’s always a positive, family-oriented vibe. I definitely recommend Daniel Gracie Delco.”

“Professor Bret is doing a great job creating an environment where all students feel welcome and part of the community. I’ve trained at many gyms, and he is one of the best instructors at breaking complicated techniques into small, understandable steps. On top of that, he is a great, humble, and passionate human being!”
