What Is MMA?
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the most complete form of combat training, combining striking arts like Muay Thai and Boxing with grappling styles like Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, and Judo.

FAQs About MMA at Fight Prime
Do I need experience in martial arts to start MMA?
Not at all. Our program welcomes beginners. You’ll be introduced to each aspect of MMA step-by-step in a safe, respectful environment.
Is MMA only for people who want to fight?
No. While we offer fight prep, most of our students train for fitness, confidence, or to build well-rounded skills — not necessarily to compete.
Do you require sparring or contact?
Sparring is always optional and controlled. We emphasize technical drilling first and only introduce sparring to students who want it and are ready.
What equipment do I need?
Gloves, mouthguard, and shin guards are recommended for striking. For grappling, a rash guard and shorts are ideal. We’ll guide you on what to bring and provide help if you’re just getting started.

“Best Shape of My Life – I Feel Unstoppable”
I started training here about a month ago. I’m 40 y/o and had zero martial arts experience. Within that single month I’ve gained confidence, some personal discipline and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since my early 20s.
The instructors are friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely care about the people putting their time/money into training. I can’t recommend this BJJ Madison Academy enough. Walking through the door and giving them a chance was the best decision I’ve made for myself in a long time.

“I just got my blue belt, and DAMN it feels good!”
I don’t know if I’ve ever worked so hard to accomplish anything in my life. I just got my blue belt after 12 months, 1 YEAR, of hard work. I honestly feel on top of the world.
The fact that going from white belt to blue belt takes such practice and determination makes it so much more special when you finally get there. And when you show up to class in your blue belt, all the white belts know what’s up
After just a couple months I noticed I was stronger and more athletic. People at work have been asking me what I do to get in shape!

“There’s a reason all the pro fighters know Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu…”
Okay, let me start by saying I don’t want to be a pro fighter or anything. I just say that because there are some guys here who do – and I know they’ll get there too. The instructors are just that good.
I just wanted to have fun, get an awesome workout, and learn some of the kick ass moves I see in the UFC. 😉 Okay, so I’m half-joking, but seriously, I wanted to learn self-defense, and after seeing so many UFC guys use BJJ so effectively, I knew this is what I needed.
I’ve learned so much already. Like I said, I don’t want to be a pro fighter, but I can feel that black belt getting closer and closer, and I can’t wait until the day I’m wearing it to class.
