See Why People Get Hooked

Fast-paced workouts, real skills, supportive coaching, and training that never feels repetitive.

This video shows the variety of skills students can work toward. Beginners start with two one-on-one lessons, progress at a comfortable pace, and are never thrown into hard sparring.

More Than A Workout

MMA gives you a reason to move, something real to improve at, and one hour where the rest of life disappears.

A Workout You Won’t Dread

Improve your strength, conditioning, coordination, and energy without repeating the same mindless gym routine.

Skills That Actually Matter

Learn practical striking, grappling, movement, and defense while becoming more capable and confident.

Shut Off The Noise

Training demands your attention. For one hour, work, stress, screens, and everything else have to wait.

Keep Learning. Keep Showing Up.

New techniques, clear goals, supportive coaches, and a team environment give you reasons to keep progressing.

Starting Is Simple

You do not need experience, special equipment, or a certain fitness level. Just choose a time and show up.

See What A Real Class Feels Like

Coaching, movement, skill development, and a welcoming group of people who are there to improve, not prove how tough they are.

Safe, Structured, And Beginner Friendly

You should not have to wonder whether your first MMA experience will be reckless or intimidating. Beginners are introduced progressively with direct coaching, clear expectations, and controlled training.

No Hard Sparring Required

You are never expected to fight, compete, or jump into hard sparring to participate in the program.

Controlled Contact

Techniques and drills are introduced at an appropriate pace with controlled contact and suitable training partners.

Padded Training Floors

The academy uses professional padded flooring designed for martial arts movement, drills, and grappling.

Trained, Background-Checked Coaches

Every coach completes Cosens Martial Arts Instructor Training and is background checked before working with students.

You Do Not Have To Get In Shape First

You do not need experience, athletic ability, or any idea what you are doing. That is what the beginner experience is for.

Your first two lessons are one-on-one, so you can learn the basics, move at a comfortable pace, and ask questions without trying to keep up with an experienced class. Men and women of all fitness levels are welcome in our respectful, ego-free environment.

Quick Questions

Why is the beginner experience only $2?

Completely free appointments are often booked and then missed. The small $2 reservation helps us protect one-on-one coaching time for people who genuinely plan to attend while keeping the first step affordable.

One $2 payment covers two one-on-one, 45-minute beginner lessons, a tour of the academy, time to meet the coaches, and an introduction to foundational MMA skills. There are no recurring charges, hidden fees, or obligation to enroll.

What martial arts do you teach?

We teach the Cosens Martial Arts MMA curriculum, a well-rounded system combining proven elements of Muay Thai, boxing, karate, taekwondo, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, judo, Krav Maga, and practical self-defense.

You will develop skills in striking, grappling, movement, defense, conditioning, and control instead of being limited to one area of martial arts.

Is this right for me if I am older, out of shape, or completely new?

Yes. You start at your current fitness and experience level. The one-on-one beginner lessons allow your coach to adapt the pace, explain everything clearly, and help you build confidence without trying to keep up with an experienced class.

Men and women of all fitness levels are welcome. The Adult Program is for ages 18+, and we also offer a beginner-friendly Teen Program for ages 13-17.

Will I have to fight or spar?

No. You are not required to compete or jump into hard sparring. Beginners learn progressively on padded flooring with controlled contact, appropriate partners, direct coaching, and no expectation to participate in hard sparring.

What should I wear?

Comfortable workout clothes are perfect for your first lesson. We will explain anything else you may need if you decide to continue.

A Real Student Experience

Challenge Without The Ego

A supportive training environment matters just as much as the workout itself, especially when you are starting from zero.
