MMA Fighter Requirements

'Ground n Pound' Drills at the Academy
The Dartford BJJ Academy produces fighters in both Mixed Martial Arts and competitive Brazilian Jiu Jistu. We stand behind all of our students who wish to fight and we will work with those individuals who wish to compete in combat sport. Equally, we take the high technical standards of our Academy very seriously and the following miminum requirements must be met before a student may represent the Academy as an MMA fighter:
  • Amateur
    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blue belt
    2 years striking experience
    6 weeks fight preparation
  • Professional
    Brazilian Jiu Jitsu purple belt
    3 years striking experience
    8 weeks fight preparation
