BJMMA- Mixed Martial Arts & Ladies Kickboxing

BJMMA | Mixed Martial Arts in Johannesburg | Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in the world thanks to industry leaders like the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and locally the EFC (Extreme Fighting Championship). MMA has also become a popular choice of self-defense due to its functional and practical applications and techniques, as well as becoming increasingly popular as a form of fitness, stress relief and all round physical and mental health. At BJ MMA we are committed to promoting the highest level of fitness and a positive mental attitude. We achieve this through high quality Mixed Martial Arts training, combining Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu as well as our unique Ladies only Kickboxing. We offer Mixed Martial Arts for the your everyday man, woman and kid who want to train the love of the sport, and all the benefits that you get from it. BJ MMA is run by Bobby and Jeni Karagiannidis and was established in the year 2000, But we have been teaching for over 20 years and you will have to search far and wide to find a more established gym with more qualified trainers.

Learn all the basics in the intro class and work your way up to full MMA in the advanced class.
