Where Your Martial Arts Journey Begins

Building Strength, Confidence and Character

Our Mission and Vision

Youth MMA Academy is bringing the world class martial arts experience of The Academy MN built on decades of battle tested training and fighting to youth MMA! 

Our mission is simple: to build strong-willed, resilient combat athletes with a "can-do" attitude through traditional martial arts and modern MMA. We believe the lessons learned through martial arts provide a hands-on approach to practical skill development that can serve as a blueprint for mastering almost any skill, both on and off the mats.

In addition to MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Muay Thai programs for youth ages 5–20, we also offer adult classes in Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

About Us

Opera non Verba

From Humble Beginnings to Modern Success

The Academy was built by its students from the start — a community where everyone contributes, grows, and trains together. What began as a small group with a shared passion has become one of the most respected martial arts programs in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area. Blending generations of traditional martial arts knowledge with the real-world experience of our instructors and athletes, we’ve created a family-like environment that welcomes everyone. Our mission is simple: help each student build skill, confidence, and discipline — and become their best both on and off the mats.
