Safety

We understand that not all of our clients are training for a kickboxing match. Many just want to have fun, learn self-defense skills and get in great shape at the same time. That is why we cut no corners for your safety. We pride ourselves for using the safest equipment for using the latest, most progressive teaching methods available. You will receive individual help from our instructors as you master the basics and on-going guidance as your skill level increases. Just because you may not want to step in a cage and fight like an Ultimate Fighter, doesn't mean you can't train like one! (Only those that have the desire to compete will be allowed contact training and competition sparring.) 

It would be easy to think that because we have such a successful competition team that we don't teach self-defense applicable for the self-defense.   That is dead wrong!  Practical self-defense is first and foremost.  The arts we teach like Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu were designed for self-defense. 

It is true that we have members competing in the highest levels of competition, including Elite XC,  The UFC, The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships and "The Ultimate Fighter" TV Series.  Many may  think that because our fighters compete at such high levels, that we wouldn't have a beginner program that would be right for them.   This is not true!  We breed our competitors from the ground up!  They were beginners once as well.  Nothing is more important than having strong fundamentals that come through the use of a sound beginner's curriculum.    And that is exactly what we have created... A strong, structured beginner's curriculum.    

"My cardio has gone through the roof since I started Mixed Martial Arts...And it's only been two months!  I am eating more than ever, but still losing a ton of weight!  I was a bit apprehensive and intimidated about being brand new at the martial arts.  But it quickly became obvious in my first class that I had nothing to worry about.  My nerves seemed to melt  during my introductory lesson as I realized that the programs at the academies were created with beginners like myself in mind "

                                                                             Jeff Cunningham, Age 35

Our Philosophy On Self-Defense

We teach what works! Our Mixed Martial Arts program trains you to be a "complete" martial artist. It is important to be well versed in various martial arts. There is not one style that teaches you everything you need to know. We utilize Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu-jitsu, Submission Grappling, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, and more! Students learn simple but effective counters to the most common self-defense situations such as bear hugs, head locks, choke holds, tackles, grabs and more!    Our system is on the cutting edge of fitness and the modern day martial arts that we teach are always as exciting as they are practical.   We can guarantee you will never be bored, which is why so many gyms don't want you to get word about our programs!

From Local Households To Homeland Security!  The Martial Arts We Teach Are For Everyone!

Just a few of the arts we teach the members of our academies:

• Gracie Jiu-Jitsu
• Muay Thai Kickboxing
• Boxing
• Sambo
• Judo
• Submission Grappling
• Mixed Martial Arts (as seen in the UFC)
• Kid's Jiu-Jitsu
• Yoga
• And More!  Please visit our "Programs" page for more details on the individual arts

"Thank you, Instructor Brad, for your exceptional coaching, encouragement, and for taking me under your wing.  You played a major role in transforming a little guy into a confident mixed martial arts fighter and champion."  Joe Cargado, Age 40

Why Choose us for fitness?  Why not a typical gym?

The answer is easy.   It is time to WORKOUT WITH A PURPOSE!  You are killing two birds with one stone by learning self-defense while developing a strong, lean and healthy body. And boredom is just not an option during our workouts.  Don't take it from me...try a free class and judge for yourself! 

Let’s face it…The  Ultimate Fighting Champions are in the best shape of just about anyone in the world.   The reason for this is because their workouts need to include cardiovascular conditioning, strength training and flexibility while maintaining a lean and strong body.   Our curriculum is designed to condition you the same way these fighters condition themselves.   Our goal is not to be a body builder, but rather to be in impeccable shape with the same attributes that the fighters have.

Yoga poses are also incorporated into every martial arts class we teach at our schools to increase flexibility, improve breathing, decrease stress and prevent injuries.

The Evolution Of The Martial Arts
The Martial Arts have evolved significantly over the last 100 years. More so than in any other time in the history of man kind. Partly, because as technology advances and the world becomes smaller, different forms of the martial arts have been tested and shared throughout the world. And, as evolution dictates, only the strong survive. So in the martial arts, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Submission Wrestling, Muay Thai Kickboxing and Boxing have survived and remain dominant.

Humans regarded "flight" as impossible just 100 years ago, but evolution took it's course and comparable to the advances in the automobile and the development in aircraft, the martial arts have a similar story. The science of hand to hand combat and martial arts runs very much parallel to the advancement in human technology. So, in a nut shell, we teach the latest and greatest in the martial arts today!

Read what Members Have To Say About Our Academies!

"I am fortunate to have been able to train at quite a few martial arts schools over the years and I can honestly say that the atmosphere at Philadelphia Mixed Martial Arts (Daddis Training Centers) is unique. I never hesitate to make the 35 minute trip to the academy from my home because I know what to expect...a group of dedicated individuals of various training levels coming together for just as many different reasons...all led by Brad Daddis and his instructors. Brad and his instructors treat everyone with respect and instills a confidence that is difficult to defeat. As a fellow business owner, I also admire that Brad is always evolving...he has built a great support team and an admirable culture of respect, sharing each new tid bit with the group. Whether you are looking to train for competition, lose weight, increase cardio, or even make friends...Daddis Fight Camps (The Philadelphia or Jersey Mixed Martial Arts Academy) should be your foundation."

Henry C. Aphin Jr. Thoroughbred Discovery, Marcus Hook, PA

"From the first day I stepped into the Philadelphia Mixed Martial Arts Academy, I felt welcome, whether it was the instructors showing me around (and somehow keeping track of everyone's name from day one, which still baffles me), or the senior students guiding you and welcoming you to the family. Although the instruction is top notch and the conditioning quickly whips you into shape, it was the community atmosphere that kept me coming back. The Academies are the perfect place for men and women who want to take control of their health and learn to protect themselves. No matter what your goals, the staff from the Academies will help you reach them.  Both Daddis Fight Camps, Philly MMA and Jersey MMA, cater to everybody!"

Jackson Galka, Now a blue belt and top competitor, Philadelphia, PA

"The positive energy inside of the academies is electric and immediately puts you in an excited state of mind!"

Ed Mathews, Mount Laurel, NJ

"During my training, I've lost about 15 pounds that I wasn’t even really looking to loose; all while eating a lot more and including more fat in my diet."

 James Leniak, Philadelphia, PA
