For beginners, we recommend starting with 2-3 classes per week to allow your body to adapt to the demands of training. As your fitness improves, you can gradually increase the number of classes or add more specific training sessions. It’s important to find a balance that allows for progress without overtraining.

It’s completely normal to feel nervous or anxious when starting something new, especially a sport as challenging as MMA. Remember that everyone was a beginner once, and our coaches and members are here to support you every step of the way. Take things at your own pace, and don’t hesitate to ask questions or for help when needed.

Once you’ve mastered the basics in Striking and Grappling/BJJ, you may be invited to join our Fighters/Comp Class, which focuses on competition-level training. However, being part of this class does not mean you have to fight. You can participate as a training partner or simply work on advanced skills. The class starts at 4 pm with running and hand wrapping for strikers, followed by specific conditioning, bagwork, partner drills, and sparring for strikers, as well as grappling drills, rolls, and conditioning for grapplers. Whether you fight or not is entirely up to you!

Definitely! While some of our members train for competitions, many join Unite MMA to improve their fitness, learn self-defense, and enjoy the supportive community. You don’t need to compete to get the benefits of MMA training.

This varies from person to person, but consistency is key! Some students notice improvements in their fitness, coordination, and technique within a few weeks. Others might take a few months to feel comfortable with certain skills. It’s important not to rush your progress and enjoy the journey.

If you have a desire to compete, our coaches can guide you through the process of preparing for a fight. It involves intensive training and conditioning, as well as a commitment to mastering both striking and grappling. Once you’re ready, we’ll support you every step of the way, including finding the right matches and events.

To avoid injuries, focus on proper technique, warm up before class, and cool down after each session. Don’t try to go too hard too fast, especially in sparring or live grappling. Communicate with your training partners about intensity levels, and always listen to your body. If something doesn’t feel right, let a coach know immediately.

No prior experience is required to start training at Unite MMA. Our beginner-friendly classes will teach you the fundamental techniques in striking, grappling, and BJJ. Our coaches will work with you to ensure you feel comfortable and supported, whether you’re brand new or have some background in another martial art.
