Free MMA brings the local community together by encouraging a healthy lifestyle, self-discipline and safe haven to people from all socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as a place for kids to come after school to keep them off the street. People of all ages and incomes (children, adults and seniors) can take advantage of the classes offered. Creating a stronger and safer community! We offer our students a sense of self worth, contentment and self discipline in a healthy way that would otherwise be denied to them due to the inability to pay a monthly dues.
