Small mma class at Fortress Mixed Martial Arts in Morristown, TN Wednesday night, but everyone trained hard. Students worked punching combos to the mitts, a triangle choke to armbar submission grappling combo, an ankle pick takedown drill, hit the heavy bag and did a little sparring. Oh yeah, in addition to some conditioning drills.

A lot of people (and I mean A LOT of people) are afraid to begin mixed martial arts training due to a fear of “being out of shape” or “looking silly.”
Well, that’s silly. EVERYONE has to start as a beginner. That’s a fact of life with anything you do. To me – that’s the best part of any activity – the wonder and discovery that goes with starting something new.
Sure, things may feel a little clumsy at first, but nothing beats that feeling of satisfaction once things start to “click.”
Here at Fortress Mixed Martial Arts in Morristown, TN we welcome beginners. We will do everything in our power to help you get through that initial “clumsy” phase as quickly as possible, and we’ll have you punching, kicking and grappling with confidence in no time.
Check out some clips below of a small Saturday afternoon class full of beginners. These guys will be mixed martial arts monsters very soon.

5 students in the kids mma/grappling program at Fortress Mixed Martial Arts in Morristown earned stripes on their belts Saturday morning.
As white belts, children earn their stripes by demonstrating proficiency in various takedowns drawn from judo and wrestling, submissions from brazilian jiu-jitsu and submission wrestling, sweeps, escapes and reversals as well as other various grappling skills. Testing is NOT easy and passing is certainly not guaranteed. We want our students to feel REAL accomplishment, not the false “everyone wins no matter what” accomplishment of some sports and activities.
As yellow belts, testing becomes even more difficult as children are required to perform hundreds of repetitions of their mixed martial arts skills in order to build muscle memory that can stand up to the rigors and stress of competition.
Continue below the break to view the proud testers and to learn more about our FREE two week trial of mixed martial arts training here in Morristown, TN for kids and adults.

An important component of mixed martial arts and mma training is submission grappling and wrestling. You can be the greatest kickboxer on the face of the planet, but if you can’t defend yourself on the ground, you will get destroyed in mixed martial arts competition!
Members of Fortress MMA and Victory BJJ hit Columbia, SC this weekend for the 12th annual South Carolina Submission Grappling Championships. Submission grappling tournaments are a great way for students training in the mixed martial arts to test their ground skills. This particular tournament is an outstanding test, as no points are tallied during matched – the goal is to have ALL matches in by submission, or “tapout.”
At the end of the day, Team Victory had won more medals than any of the other 32 teams represented, and was presented with the 1st Place Team trophy as overall tournament Champion.
