The majority of our students had never trained MMA before joining UMF.
UMF MMA is NOT an MMA “FIGHT / GYM CLUB”.
UMF MMA 15+ is about people and our goal is to offer a combat sport towards fitness, and personal growth, to everyone and every-body that wants to learn MMA as an Art. Not just for 20-year-old athletes it’s for all people of all ages. To older people, looking to get into shape, have fun, and learn the Arts in a positive atmosphere of friendship and fun.”
“90% of MMA students just want to learn MMA and to get fit, only 10% want to get into the cage and compete”.
To meet your needs, UMF has a structured MMA curriculum to give students short- and long-term goals.
Your membership includes Muay Thai / Boxing and Brazilian Jiu jitsu Classes,
Why UMF trains each discipline separately rather than MMA as a whole—is rooted in building elite-level skill and precision in every core area of combat.
Why Trains This Way:
Mastery Over Mediocrity:
By isolating, Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Jiu-jitsu, etc, ensures one is not just decent across the board—but dangerous in every range. MMA doesn't stop on the ground. We teach essential takedowns and throws derived from Judo and wrestling, giving students a complete grappling foundation — from standing to submission.
Sharper Technique:
Discipline-specific training allows for technical refinement that often gets watered down in blended MMA sessions. This means crisper hands, tighter grappling, and smarter transitions.
Smarter Sparring & Injury Prevention:
Controlled focus on one discipline reduces chaotic wear and tear from constant full-contact MMA sparring—preserving longevity and keeping performance sharp.
Mental Focus:
Tackling each art individually helps develop mental clarity and deeper strategy within each range of combat, which he then blends during fight prep.
In Topuria’s Words: “I do boxing classes, wrestling classes... I try to learn every discipline separately.”
It’s a method that echoes how some of the greats like, Georges St-Pierre and Demetrious Johnson trained—mastering the parts to dominate the whole.

Is MMA 15 + good for self-defence? We must be honest.
The UFC uses the tagline ‘As Real as it Gets’. Meaning that MMA is as real as it gets to fighting in the real world. Is that true? People think it’s the same and by default that MMA is best for self-defence. However, the issue is not as simple as you may think. There is a difference in training for a street violent encounter, compared to an MMA fight. If you are after a 4WD and you are sold a 2WD, how would you feel. The takeaway is you will learn to apply MMA skills for a Combat Sport Arena. MMA training will prepare you to respond by stopping conflict BEFORE it starts, to AVOID and therefore PREVENT it. The highest goal of the martial artist.
Whether you want to lose weight or become a competitor you can do that at UMF.

A huge special mention to the team at United Martial Arts & Fitness Academy - UMF Townsville. I’ve had them jump on board with me for this camp and couldn’t have done it without them. They believed in me as much as I believe in myself and I can’t show my appreciation to them enough for all they’ve done. UMF are Townsville’s leading martial arts and fitness gym and I am proud to be apart of their team. They’ve got a lot of knowledge and having trained their myself at a young age, I know just how family orientated and friendly the environment is there. Get down to UMF if you’re in town and check them out. Tell them Kid lightning sent ya. I’ll see you guys at UMF in the near future for a boxing seminar.
