BAMMA

Great Night for the team. Smith was up first! He had great combos and footwork and earned himself a well deserved victory and looked great in the process. Santiago faced tough opponent. Had a bit of a slow start but definitely looked better as the fight went on. Didn’t get the win but no doubts this will make him more experienced and prepared for his next attempt. Aeson and his opponent had a great back and forth battle. He used his combos and footwork and brought home a belt. Nice work buddy! Nick had a last min replacement opponent and they managed to put on a great main event. Nick is quite the talented fighter and brought home another belt. National championship in 2 weeks! 💪🏻Thanks to SAAMA Fight Night and Jay for having us out. Always a great show and the kids are well taken care of. 👊🏻

REAL TECHNIQUES. REAL EXPERIENCE.

🚨 SELF DEFENCE CLASS STARTS THURSDAY MAY 21st. 7-8PM 🚨

Everything taught in this course has been personally used in:
• Live MMA competition
• Grappling competition
• Real training situations

These are proven techniques designed to help smaller people use leverage, positioning, and technique — not strength.

When learned and drilled properly, these skills work under pressure.

I’ve coached women who have submitted men in competition, and girls who have submitted boys much larger and stronger than themselves.

Confidence comes from preparation, repetition, and learning how to stay calm in difficult situations.

You do not need to be bigger.
You need training that works.

Every technique taught in this course has been pressure tested through live training, competition, and MMA fight situations.

Here is an example of a trap and roll escape in a live MMA fight situation.

Our course is built for real situations — not choreographed demos.

If your child is competing please try to make it. 😊💪🏻

🚨 LEVEL 1 SELF DEFENSE – 8 CLASSES | 8 HOURS 🚨 Starts May 21st

Recently, there was a video circulating of a young woman in Red Deer being violently attacked.
Like many people, I found it extremely difficult to watch.

What stood out to me most was the position she ended up in — on the ground.

As an MMA fighter and coach, I can tell you this with confidence:
the ground is one of the most common places people end up during a real altercation.
I see it time and time again.

These are the situations I specialize in professionally.

The fundamentals taught in this course are designed specifically for these kinds of real-world situations. If you’ve attended one of my self defense classes before, you already know how effective concepts like the Trap & Roll variations can be in helping someone escape and create an opportunity to get safe.

We’ll also teach how proper footwork and framing can help you create distance, stay balanced, and potentially avoid going to the ground altogether.

To truly build confidence in feeling safe, you first need to understand the basic concepts of self defense.
That’s why we focus on the most common ways people are attacked and exactly what to do in those situations through repetition and hands-on practice.
