The fight team record is representative of the hard work and level of intense training that is required to become an NTMMA fighter. This work ethic has served all our fighters well, not just in the cage or ring but in their lives also. All of our fighters have careers outside of the cage such as gym owners, school teachers, military members, college students, and corporate security. At North Texas MMA we have a new steel cage, a new boxing ring, free weights, a dozen heavy bags, pads, mitts, and lots more to make us one of the most complete gyms in DFW. Instructors are well rounded and proven in competition. We show our professionalism and dedication in our appearance, punctuality, and performance.
Besides cage fighting, North Texas MMA also maintains a strong children’s and adult presence at BJJ and grappling tournaments. Our BJJ students always have a strong showing at the local & NAGA tournaments, and we do well at various out of state, national and international events as well.
ATTENTION FIGHT PROMOTERS… We are training new fighters every day. We have lots of affiliated fighters of many different levels and weight classes that may not be on the website. If you need a fighter for your show please text 972-353-0770
