A Proven System
If you want to become a true martial artist--a Warrior--then you must train similar to the Warriors of ancient times. From the Bushido & Zen of the Japanese Samurai...to the Taoism & Buddhism of the Chinese Warrior Monks of Shaolin...or the Chivalry Code of the European Knights... All great warrior castes had a code by which they lived and trained, and much of this code can be applied both to the study of contemporary martial arts, such as MMA, as well as to modern daily life. At AMMS, we've proven this to be true through the success of our fight team and the significant life changes undergone by many of our students.

That's why at AMMS, we do not simply teach and test our students on the form, precision, and strategy of the physical techniques, but also on the internal aspects of the arts, including the lineage of the teachings, history of the styles, age-old warrior precepts and virtues, philosophy and techniques of meditation for total mind-body-spirit alignment, and in the more advanced levels: life coaching, community service, and the principles of becoming a true teacher.

School Structure
The Academy of Mixed Martial Science is truly unique among the industry. We are structured similar to a traditional martial arts school--with rankings and tests, structured classes, formal students-disciple relationships, teachings in honor, discipline, and humility, and internal arts such as meditation, yoga, fitness, and psychological preparation. However, our style is not the traditional hard-style Karate or soft-style Kung Fu, but rather the more modern systems of Close Quarters Combat (Street) and Mixed Martial Arts (sport), the latter of which incorporates traditions like Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Judo to culminate in a contemporary blend referred to as MMA. Hence, we are neither a traditional system nor are we a typical MMA gym; we use this more modern and practical system of fighting, but bypass the ego-driven, competitive environment typical of many “MMA Gyms” today.  We are a unique combination of the tradition and pragmatism, aiming to teach the modern sport of full contact MMA through the structured and successful approach of tradition, respect, and devotion to self-mastery. At AMMS, Martial Tradition truly meets Modern Science. 

Students & Competitors
The Academy of Mixed Martial Science is an MMA training center, fight school, and academy of self-mastery and internal arts. AMMS is represented by its coaches, its students, and its competitors. More than merely a facility to exercise or throw punches, we teach our members and teammates to realize they have become part of a culture: Muay Thai, an ancient art of war dating back thousands of years, as well as the century-old Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & Judo are combative arts rooted in tradition, culture, and honor. By becoming part of these arts, our members are building upon a tradition of strength and wisdom, becoming part of the lineage, and so not just building strength in muscles, but also in character and spirit. This is the true strength of the warrior and what will ultimately propel any person beyond his opponent—be it a man, an obstacle, or an internal struggle.

All members of the club are treated as professional athletes and are expected to conduct themselves in the manner of professionals and honorable warriors. They are expected to live a life of integrity, courage, and humility. We do not condone nor accept street fighting by our members, unless in extreme self-defense situations.  Our teammates display both heart and physical ability, both dedication and promise, character and intention—the personal attributes that exhibit true martial artists and great warriors. We live our lives as athletes and warriors in training, regardless of our day jobs or outside lives. Our members are guided into optimal shape, including personalized fitness and nutrition regimens as well as disciplined internal and meditative expansion, setting a foundation that perpetuates for years to come. 

A Way of Life
We believe the martial sciences to be not just a hobby but a way of life. We want to train and work with others for whom this is not just a hobby or form of exercise, but a meaningful and powerful way of living as well. This means implementing the philosophy and tradition of the arts, the origin, what it means to be a warrior, not just on the mat but in life, and how martial training reflects the person one is, how the studio becomes a microcosm of the world: The way he pushes himself, challenges himself, accepts his strengths and weaknesses, overcomes obstacles, builds relationships, shows respect and understanding and gratitude, commands respect, practices humility, confronts pain and fear, and uses one’s foundations—his/her purpose—to navigate through it all.

We teach our members not simply to be  great fighters in the ring, but also to be better people in the world.
