M3 Fight and Fitness

The Competition

Insane Class Schedule and Facility Access

We have around 70 classes a week in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling, Judo, Mixed Martial Arts, Kids Classes, Teen MMA, and Conditioning classes. And when we don't have classes going, you can come in, hit the bags, lift some weights, or spar with a buddy. We're open many days from 6am to 10pm

Limited Schedule

Most schools in the area average just 15 classes a week… and you can forget training when there's no class going on. And even if they did let you in, there wouldn't be much to keep you entertainedThere's no morning, weekend, or late night classes either, but M3 has each of those!

Clean, State-of-the Art Facility

One step inside of our clean, state-of-the-art facility and you will know you are not in your typical gym. Our 4000 square-foot studio is complete with multiple well-equipped training areas, a full pro-shop, a shower, laundry service, weights and conditioning equipment, cage panels, a myriad of heavy bags and striking pads, three changing areas, and everything you need for your martial arts and fitness goals! Our facility is cleaned daily and sanitized many times throughout the week. We are constantly investing back into the Academy and it shows.

Run-of-the-Mill Facility

Soft, clean mats? Good luck avoiding ringworm, staph, and scraped-up knees. You want conditioning equipment? I don't think so. Amenities are certainly no priority and odor control is completely out of the question. We've been to many places where the changing room was the middle of the room! If your instructor is moreinterested in investing in a fancy new car over improving the facility you train in every day, we think you know how much your instructor cares about you.

Specially Designed Classes for Beginners

We've got a pretty lofty mission—to help every student reach their peak. And with all levels of abilities, different goals, and different natural abilities, that means we have to be on top of how we teach them. We are constantly refining our teaching methods so that even the newbies can get up to speed with the advanced students quickly while not missing out on the core fundamentals that will serve them well for years of training.

Shark Tank Training

It's a sad tale repeated over and over at many schools. A new student walks in to try a class and may even sign-up. But instead of easing the student into the mix, he's thrown to the wolves where he's left scratching his head over how to do a random mish-mash of advanced techniques and worse, survive training with more advanced student that look as him as nothing more than "fresh meat". Most newbies get scared off or too injured to continue training.

World Class Grappling

M3 Fight Head Instructor Rudy "Rudini" Fischmann is not only one of the few Americans to be awarded a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt from legendary competitor and MMA fighter Wander Braga, he has spent over a decade training around the world with some of the biggest names in BJJ and MMA. Along the way, he's picked up numerous tournament medals including a Senior Brown Belt World No-Gi Championship and represented the USA in the FILA World Championships. Even more notable are that his students regularly medal in tournaments even after minimal training time!He is joined by a team of instructors that include multi-time World Champ Felicia Oh (see Women's Program below)

Mediocre Grappling

It would be funny if it weren't true… too many schools are trying to cash in on the popularity of BJJ and MMA. Many schools have no real BJJ experience, use photocopied lesson plans or a YouTube curriculum… while even worse some simply try to fool you by licensing the name of some well-known organization. Spend a few minutes on the mat at M3 Fight and Fitness and reality quickly emerges from the grand illusion. Many visitors comment on the safe and fun, yet high-level of training from our students. It's no coincidence as all of our instructors are hand-picked and trained to teach in the specific M3 style that pushes practitioners of all skill to new levels. No under-qualified teachers allowed!

World Class Muay Thai/MMA Striking/Boxing

The striking program at M3 Fight and Fitness is headed up by both Anthony Cardoza of world-renowned Sityotdong and TFA World Featherweight Champion (MMA) Armando Sanchez. This combination of traditional Muay Thai mixed with MMA experience gives our students a truly realistic take on the striking arts.While what we offer is a great workout, do not confuse it for the Cardio Kickboxing some facilities offer. The lack of attention to form in such programs can lead to repetitive stress injuries in the gym (ever wonder why Tae-Bo disappeared?) and worse, in the street it can get you killed!

Poor Muay Thai / MMA Striking

It's even harder to find a good striking school in this area than it is a good grappling school! Most BJJ schools just throw any instructor they can find so they can cash in and many other alleged "MMA Schools" are run by career Karate instructors who claim to teach any style there is if it means signing up a student. Unfortunately, even the few who have decent programs tend to cater only to fighters, and have not put in the time to really learn how to take anyone, from day one beginners, and get them to a high level!

Women-Only Training

While women are free to participate in other classes (and frequently do!), many prefer the fun and testosterone-free atmosphere of our Women-Only classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (no-gi) and Muay Thai Kickboxing. And before you assume "women-only" means "watered-down", our ladies receive serious instruction from world-class athletes like Felicia Oh and other female instructors who have undergone our M3 Teacher's Program. Female students not only get a great workout, they become stronger in body and mind with some REAL self-defense skills.

Condescending, Sexist Attitudes

If there are women-oriented classes at all, they are usually treated as either too dainty or a novelty for male students to gawk and gander at. M3 does not offer "punch to the beat" cardio kickboxing classes or purely self-defense oriented BJJ. We specialize in turning wives, sisters, and daughters into every day SUPERWOMEN!See the section about World Class Muay Thai for our thoughts on most cardio kickboxing.

Actual MMA & Self-Defense

What good is knowing striking, takedowns, and ground grappling if you can't put it together! Our experienced team of instructors know what works and doesn't work in a real fight – no theories, just proven facts that they can vouch for themselves. Our instructors can teach you what to expect as the adrenaline goes through your body and how to handle real fatigue as it sets in during a real confrontation… sport-based or real!

Mediocre MMA & Self-Defense

Most schools have students put on gloves while they do submission grappling and call it Mixed Martial Arts. We know the difference. We even have a partial cage installed to simulate the real thing. And speaking of the real thing, there's no emphasis on how techniques could be applied in a real situation. What good is it knowing all those techniques if they can't even save your life?

Age-Specific Training

Kids of different ages learn differently. What's more, it's important for students to work with size-appropriate partners. We not only split kids into different age/skill levels, we are one of the only facilities in the entire country to have a TRUE Teen MMA program… and it just happens we believe with good reason that it's the best.

"Throw 'Em In A Pile And We'll Sort It Out Later!"

Most schools take all the kids on the few days they're allowed to train and throw them in one big class together. Chaos ensues. For the older kids that are too big are forced into adult classes where they often get discouraged or hurt.

Takedown Training

M3 is proud to offer Wrestling and Judo exclusive classes as well as incorporating them into many of our other skills classes. In fact, we are a USA Wrestling recognized charter club. That means our students can compete in many local and national tournaments… that's more than even the local school systems can boast! Many parents have brought their kids to us simply for that fact.

Little or No Wrestling or Judo

Wrestling and Judo training is nearly non-existent at most BJJ and Muay Thai schools, save for a few times a year. The lack of regular training not only leaves a huge gap in the skillset of a student, it often results in serious injury when the student is forced to attempt or defend takedowns full force with little regular practice to prepare them.

Safe, Smart Environment

The big misconception is that grappling, kicking, and MMA training is for meatheads and hardcore fighters thanks to stereotypes or even bad experiences at other gyms. At M3, we realize that many students have families, work or school and don't want black eyes. We utilize progressive methods to allow our students increase skill with minimal harm to them and their training partners.

"Welcome To The Jungle" Environment

MMA at its finest is not a full-out brawl and even the top guys don't train at 100% speed all the time. That doesn't stop most MMA schools from following such a model. It's not only dangerous, it's counterproductive to developing real skills! Tough guys rarely impress people when they're getting submitted by the smart ones!

 

Real Fitness With Real Results

At M3, our students have not only dropped some serious weight and kept it off, many of them have gotten into awesome shape! And with the teaching style we employ that stresses lifestyle and attitude changes, they'll likely stay that way. We don't do it with crazy weights or lots of yelling… we do it with sensible body weight and conditioning exercises as well as encouraging support from our team of trainers.

Fad Fitness with No-Results

For most martial arts gyms, their idea of conditioning training is doing a couple jumping jacks and push-ups as part of a warm-up routine. And extra-fitness classes is definitely not an option. Most trendy gyms are no better where group classes are really just social hours under the guise of the fitness fad of the month and results rarely last more than few months.

Family-Friendly and Inclusive

We don't offer just awesome training, we go out of our way to make sure everyone feels included. Whether it's making sure no student gets left behind or one of our many school outings to the beach or other fun activities, we are all one team!

Elitist and Clique-ish

At most other facilities if anyone pays any attention to you at all, it's attitude from the staff or other students sizing you up. If you aren't a top dog, then how can you expect to have fun let alone get anything out of training at one of these facilities?

30-Days Free!

We are so confidant in what we have to offer, that we have no hesitation in offering 30 DAYS FREE to any potential new student who lives within a 50-mile radius. Our research indicates that more than 85% of the people who give us a try stick around for a lot longer to enjoy all the benefits we have to offer!

Single Class Trial

The average lifespan of a student at most MMA schools is less than 6 months. No wonder they're afraid to hand out more than free class without getting you to sign a contract. At M3, we know we can keep you happy longer than that so we're in no rush to squeeze every dime out of your wallet!
