We teach students at all skill levels, including professional athletes training to win state and national level championships for Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo and MMA,” states Jeff Paulson, Co-Owner and instructor at Siege MMA.

Chip Kirk, also a Co-Owner of Siege MMA, had this to add, “At Siege MMA we also cater to MMA fighters at the professional level. Our instructors help them prepare for upcoming fights by helping them perfect the skills needed to dominate opponents and move up in rank, from local MMA events to UFC level fights. There are several professional fighters currently training at Siege, such as UFC Veteran Joe “Diesel” Riggs who will face Phil Baroni at the Strikeforce eventon June 6th and Steve Eldridge who will take on Robert Sarkozi for the Gladiator Challenge Middle Weight belt on May 30th. Siege MMA is quickly becoming the training center of choice for both elite fighters and MMA enthusiasts.”
