Choosing the Right Mixed Martial Arts and Jiu-Jitsu Academy

Choosing the Right Mixed Martial Arts and Jiu-Jitsu Academy

In today’s world, martial arts schools are everywhere. From strip malls to garages, it seems like anyone can open a gym and call themselves a coach. But here’s the truth—choosing the right Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) or Jiu-Jitsu academy is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your martial arts journey. Your choice will directly impact not only your skill development but also your safety, growth, and long-term success.

At Team GAMMA, we understand this better than anyone. With 25 years of history in the fight game, we’ve seen firsthand how much of a difference a well-qualified instructor and proven system make.

Why Instructor Experience Matters

When it comes to training, not all instructors are created equal. The internet has made it easy for anyone to print a certificate or claim experience. That’s why it’s crucial to do your homework and ask questions like:

  • What is your instructor’s record?

  • What level of competition has their team achieved?

  • Do they have a proven track record of long-term success?

These aren’t just surface-level questions—they’re essential. A coach who has never tested themselves in real competition may not be equipped to guide you through the grind of training, much less prepare you for success.

Team GAMMA’s Proven Pedigree

At Team GAMMA, our instructors aren’t just teachers—they’re competitors who have lived what they teach. Our head instructor, Jay Speight, has been training since the age of six years old. With a 12-2 amateur MMA record and an undefeated professional MMA career, Jay brings real-world fight experience to every class he leads.

But Jay isn’t the only success story. Over the past two and a half decades, Team GAMMA has produced many fighters and Jiu-Jitsu practitioners who have competed at high levels, both inside the cage and on the mats. When you train with us, you’re learning from seasoned professionals who know how to win and—more importantly—know how to teach.

The Difference Between Short-Term and Long-Term Success

One of the biggest mistakes people make is focusing only on the “highlight reel.” An instructor might have one or two standout fighters, but what about the team as a whole? What about their ability to build students from the ground up and keep them progressing for years?

At Team GAMMA, we don’t just create short-term flashes of success—we build champions for the long haul. With over 25 years of consistent results, our academy is proof that dedication, experience, and leadership matter.

Train Smart, Choose Wisely

If you’re serious about your martial arts journey—whether for self-defense, competition, or personal growth—you owe it to yourself to train under proven leadership. Don’t settle for the first school you come across. Ask the hard questions. Look at the track record. And remember: your time and safety are worth investing in the best.

At Team GAMMA, we’re proud of the legacy we’ve built and the students we continue to guide. Whether your goal is to step into the cage, compete on the mats, or simply grow in confidence and fitness, our team is here to take you there the right way.

Brooke Has Something To Say About Training At Team GAMMA

I have been training Jiu-Jitsu about six months now. I wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu to have more power in my personal self-defense. In the pass I wished I have more training and this makes me feel safe as a woman in this world. I had a fear of looking like a complete idiot. which I mean kind of it went away over time because the more you learn the better you get the more you get comfortable in your body. How you can transfer your body

Aric Was Looking For A Safe Place To Train

Aric wanted to find a place that his children, wife and Himself could train at that they felt safe. He found everything he was looking for, that he now calls Home at GAMMA.

“ I have trained Jiu-Jitsu for ten years. I was 369 pounds, and I started kickboxing and they were doing Jiu-Jitsu in the corner and it looked fun. I put my children in it. It looked really fun, so I signed up.

It’s allowed me to loose weight live a healthier lifestyle. Have a constructive outlet. I have learned that culture is what draws people to make their gym their home gym.

I have two daughters and a wife who trains as well. So to have a female presence and inclusive atmosphere. Was what I was looking for in a gym. I tried all gyms before picking my final gym and this gym felt like home.

It is never too late to start. I was introduced to Jiu-Jitsu when I was 21 and didn’t start till I was 39. It’s the best self-defense and an amazing work out.

The last thing I want to see is a loved one or anyone get hurt. So training Jiu-Jitsu is a way to prevent that. You have to put in the reps to defend yourself.” яндекс
