THE PIT - MMA
The St. Louis Combat Institute is proud to now be a part of the legendary PIT MMA family.
THE PIT Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) program was designed by legendary trainer John "Pit Master" Hackleman. John is known by most as the trainer of UFC Hall of Famer and former Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell, and his appearances on The Ultimate Fighter TV show.
THE PIT MMA program is designed for adults of all ages, experience, and fitness levels. Classes are "old school" tough yet upbeat and fun in a friendly environment where adults can learn effective MMA skills and get into peak physical condition.
THE PIT MMA classes are great for fans, hobbyists, or those who want to learn mixed martial arts without having to compete. A structured curriculum designed by the "Pit Master" is followed for each class covering aspects of standup and ground fighting. The THE PIT's MMA curriculum is rooted in Hawaiian Kempo and includes aspects of boxing, kickboxing, jiujitsu, submission grappling, judo, and wrestling skills with a mindset of "use what works, get rid of what doesn't."
Individuals looking to learn MMA in a fun and safe environment, get a great alternative workout, or just add skills to their martial arts training will all benefit from THE PIT MMA classes.
Do you have what it takes? Or have you ever dreamed of what it would be to train like a professional fighter? At The PIT, we give you the opportunity to begin your journey to becoming a professional fighter.
Will it be easy? No, but many things worth having require work and dedication. Upon reaching a semi-professional level, fighters will be recommeded to John Hackleman for evaluation and training at the PIT Headquarters.
