"I have been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Gracie Barra in Seattle for just over 2 1/2 years. Gracie Barra is an intense and magnificent school but my dilemma has been that I work in Portland during the week and return to my home in Seattle and only get to train on Saturdays and occasional Fridays. GB Seattle teaches in-depth fundamentals on every other training day but Fridays and Saturdays which are reserved for rolling. As a consequence, my foundation in BJJ was severely lacking which resulted in slow progression and increasing frustration. I decided to seek out a BJJ school in Portland where I could train once a week to bolster my fundamentals. My criteria in selecting a school was that it teach good BJJ fundamentals and that the instructors and students are considerate and friendly. I joined NW Fighting Arts and was immediately impressed by the rapport that I was able to establish with instructors and students - both of whom, I am pleased to say, take an active interest and stake in seeing that everyone progresses. Fundamental and technique training has been exceptional and my progress is easily measured. I need only compare how I was doing at GB in Seattle prior to joining NW Fighting Arts and compare how I am doing now. I still have a very long way to go but since joining NW Fighting Arts my abilities have improved exponentially. Thank you NW Fighting Arts."

Free Trial & 30 Days Free for New Basic Members
We can prove our program up-and-down and give you examples of happily-involved students' success stories (which you’ll see below), but wouldn't you agree the best way to really see if our program will meet your needs is to come see for yourself in a private lesson absolutely FREE?
We know that all kinds of different people want to train MMA. From people who want to get in the cage and duke it out to people who want to experience the rush of training like a fighter without getting punched in the face. We train competitive MMA fighters and we also train people who want to train for the fun of it without getting into the competitive side.
That's why we offer our initial private lesson free. When you see us for the first time, we can sit down with you and really get into your specific, personal needs in order to figure out what would be the best program for you.
Many of our students come to us already knowing exactly what they want to do. But most of them tell us they just want to "give it a try" and see how they like MMA training. Our instructors and program counselors will help you make a well-informed decision so you can rest assured you're doing the right thing for yourself.
Here’s more PROOF that our academy is Portland’s best MMA school for you to try:

Here's just some of what you'll get out of our proven-successful mixed martial arts (MMA) program:
You’ll experience the mental and physical “rush” that comes with MMA training (not only is it exciting, but it’s a whole lot of FUN too!)
You’ll get into kick-butt shape – and FAST (many of the world’s strongest and best-conditioned athletes are MMA fighters – we’ll show you how they do it)
You’ll develop “functional muscles” not bulky do-nothing muscles (you’ll become a lean, mean, fighting machine and get even STRONGER than you were before – even if you’re a weight lifter – because you’ll build functional muscles by doing “sport-specific” exercises and drills that make you “fighting strong”)
You’ll learn a mixed martial arts fighting system with an organized curriculum that takes the “guess work” out of learning
You’ll learn the basic fundamental principles and techniques you need to have in order to improve as quickly as possible
You’ll be in a safe, structured environment – safety is our #1 concern – so you won’t have to worry about getting injured (you won’t even have to spar or get hit if you don’t want to)
You’ll be able to work at a pace that’s right for you so that you can personally absorb and retain all the information you learn
You’ll be taught by professional instructors who are trained to “build you up” as a student
You’ll discover strength and conditioning exercises and MMA drills that UFC fighters use to prepare get in shape for their fights
You’ll be a part of a proven MMA system that gives you maximum results in minimum time (we are committed to making sure you improve every single time you set foot in our MMA academy)
You will transform your body into a kick-butt fighting machine (you’ll feel stronger, faster, and better than you ever have before)
Our instructors will “walk you by the hand” and teach you our secrets to MMA success
You’ll get our proven MMA training method that can take a total “newbie” and transform you into a bonafied MMA expert
You’ll have a variety of classes to choose from (striking, ground, mma, takedowns, beginner, advanced, sparring, no-sparring, technique-only, open mat time, etc.)
You will learn physical and mental preparation for the street or in the fight cage
You’ll be taught by trainers who can not only fight well but more importantly, they will train YOU properly to ensure you get the most out of our MMA program and become a complete fighter (whether you want to compete or not)
You’ll work out in a positive atmosphere where you are treated with RESPECT
You’ll get help from our professional, courteous staff (we don’t try to intimidate people or show how “tough” we are; we don’t need to; it isn’t about our “ego” anyway – it’s about what we can do for YOU and how we can build you up into the best shape of your life while learning how to fight MMA in the process)
You’ll improve your flexibility which helps prevent injury and makes you stronger (you’ll be able to punch hard, kick higher, and be even more dangerous with your ground fighting techniques)
You’ll discover how to knock almost anyone out cold (you’ll learn how to strike hard and where to strike for maximum effect)
You’ll learn sneaky submission holds that end a fight quickly and efficiently without things getting messy
You’ll learn how to fight in “close quarters.” Fact: Close combat fighting skills can save your life (this is especially important for law enforcement and military)
You will learn techniques and strategies for self-defense and competition (what’s so great about MMA is that it’s one of the only martial arts where just about every single technique is something you can use on the street as well)
You’ll learn chokes, arm locks, leg locks and other ways to finish a fight without have to throw a single punch or kick
You’ll learn how to throw devastating knockout elbows, knees, punches and kicks that are designed to end fights fast
You’ll learn takedowns and throws so you can control where you want the fight to end up (you’ll learn how to take people down and also how to defend takedowns so you don’t get taken down)
You’ll experience the passion, excitement, team spirit and pride at our school by being a member of our team (whether you want to compete or not)
You’ll learn what works and what doesn’t work in a real fight (and you’ll be surprised at what you find out)
You’ll discover how to quickly take out an opponent on the feet or on the ground (MMA is about being able to control the fight situation whether you’re on the feet or on the ground)
You will get stronger, tougher, more endurance and stamina (you won’t get tired), and on top of that, you’ll look and feel a whole lot better
You’ll get exceptional service in all areas. (If you have a question about anything at all, we will answer it. If you have any problems, we’ll solve them. If you need help, we will help you. We are 100% committed to your personal development as a mixed martial arts athlete.)

"This school is not a joke! I checked out a lot of schools prior to this one and all I found were a bunch of ego maniacs jumping around pretending they were Superman. The instructors at NWFA are very helpful and will always help you out when asked. I've been a student for about a year and a half and I've learned so much. I've learned how to relax and how to focus which are the most important things when learning a martial art. So come on down and check out a class, you will see that I'm right.” -Rick

A big problem many people have who want to start training MMA is that they can't find a quality school to train at. There's just not many good schools out there who are qualified to train people in mixed martial arts fighting. Sure, a lot of schools "say" they're good, or throw a few MMA stickers and posters up on their windows so people might think that, but the reality is that good, quality MMA schools are hard to find.
That's the bad news... the GOOD news is that you live close by to the top MMA schools in your area. And, for a limited time, we're offering a free trial and 30 Days free for new members so you can see if our proven MMA training system meets your needs.
Once you schedule a time that's good for you to come see us, we'll give you a tour of our academy, you'll get a free t-shirt just for stopping by, you'll get a free private introductory lesson and you'll also get a free one-on-one consultation with one of our highly-trained program counselors so we can figure out if we can meet your needs.
"If you're thinking about giving MMA a try, whether you want to compete or not, then this will be the best decision you can make for yourself."
Don't you owe it to yourself to at least give it a try? Don't wait. Call us NOW.
