WE SEE WHAT YOUR CHILD CAN BECOME.
I’m Zane Isaacs, owner and head instructor at Championship MMA. I love helping kids discover they can do something that felt impossible last week.
We cheer them on, correct them when they need it, and expect them to try again. Confidence grows through effort and small victories. A new belt is great. Watching your child stand a little taller is even better.
SKILLS YOU WANT THEM TO CARRY HOME.
Small, achievable challenges give your child chances to practice courage, work through mistakes, and feel proud of earned progress.
Listening, taking turns, and finishing a drill give kids practical ways to exercise self-control. We cannot promise a spotless bedroom. We can give them plenty of practice following directions.
Kids learn to be responsible training partners, accept coaching, and treat classmates with care. Being capable comes with responsibility.
A LITTLE TOUGH LOVE. A LOT OF BELIEF.
Our version of tough love is firm, caring coaching: listen when someone is teaching, treat people respectfully, and give an honest effort.
We offer encouragement and correction together. Kids get room to make mistakes and support to try again. We expect effort because we believe they are capable of growth.
GOOD EXERCISE. SUSPICIOUSLY MUCH FUN.
Movement, games, and martial arts drills keep kids active while they practice balance, coordination, and new skills. They get a challenge, a chance to make friends, and something worth putting the screen down for.
No athletic résumé required. They can start right where they are.
SELF-DEFENSE WITH GOOD JUDGMENT.
Your child will practice striking and grappling fundamentals alongside the responsibility that comes with learning them. We emphasize self-control, avoiding unnecessary conflict, and walking away when possible.
Our goal is a child who feels more capable and knows that the best outcome is getting home safely.

We love Championship MMA!! coach Issacs is so great with the kids and our son has grown so much since joining the Championship family. He has gained so much confidence and self esteem that has also carried over into his other sports and school. He is now outgoing and so much more outspoken in social settings. We’re proud of our son’s accomplishments and proud to be a part of the Championship MMA family!!

When my daughter started she was kinda shy but just a week in and shes opening up. she loves her coaches and her class mates. I would recommend this gym to anyone that wants your child in a positive, structured and motivated environment.

Wonderful experiences for my boys. Coach Isaac commands attention and has high expectations for his students in a way that makes them want to learn and continually improve. We love that we found this facility!
QUESTIONS PARENTS ASK
No experience is needed. Shy kids, energetic kids, and kids who have never loved sports can all start learning. We help them work from their current ability and build from there.
Kindness, clear expectations, and accountability. We encourage effort, correct behavior, and help kids try again. The goal is to build confidence and responsibility through firm, respectful coaching.
We teach that skills come with responsibility. Respect, self-control, and avoiding unnecessary conflict are part of training. Learning to protect yourself also means learning when to walk away.
We put safety first and teach at a pace appropriate to the child’s ability. Like any physical activity, martial arts carries some risk of injury. Tell Coach Zane about any concerns or limitations before your child starts.
Boxing, wrestling, Muay Thai, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu… and how to say ‘Yes, sir!’
Two weeks of training, MMA gloves, and a T-shirt. It gives your family a chance to meet the coaches, experience the classes, and see how the program fits your child.
