Fight team tryouts were held on Saturday, January 12, 2008 at BJMUTA. We had a great turnout of fighter hopefuls, spectators, family and friends. The effects of the rigorous event caused some puking, some quitting and some making the team!

Congratulations and good luck to the new fight team members:
Carlos Hernandez
Justin Klein
Michael Koskey
Eddie Mendez
Alan Shook
Jack Wilmarth
Justin Wolf

Open tryouts for the BJMUTA Fight Team are held approximately every 3 months. Stay tuned for specific dates and times. Check out the video below of the days' event.

Next Fight Team Tryouts!

BJMUTA is looking for new members to join our fight team. The team is comprised of both amateurs and professionals. Amateurs when deemed ready will compete in small MMA competitions usually held at other martial arts academies called “Smokers”. Pros will fight in bigger shows. The team’s goal is to physically, mentally, and technically prepare for competition. Each member shows up to help others on the team as well as themselves. The fight team trains privately together 5 days a week. Training is advanced through these private sessions where all participants have a common goal—to fight.

The Fight Team is not for everyone. It requires dedication, heart, skill, and athletic ability. For those that feel they have something to offer, we encourage you to participate in our next open try out!
