For the youth, MMA can be more than just a sport or expression of combat.
For some, it can be an escape.
A transformation..
An expression of philosophy..
A lifestyle..
Our MMA competitors have different walks of life from different parts of the globe, but Core Combat Chiang Mai has brought together all these fighters to bring out the best of themselves.
Join coach Earl Nicolle Sideno and coach Sakan Lam alongside our team photographer and videographer jeankhlok as we get to know our MMA fighters and their journey to becoming fighters not just inside the ring/octagon, but also in real life.

Behind every young fighter is a story that goes far beyond competition.
MMA for the Youth follows four young athletes—Charles, Jedi, Ben, and Francis—as they navigate the challenges of growing up while pursuing mixed martial arts. Through training, competition, setbacks, and personal growth, the film offers a look into what youth MMA is really about.
Rather than focusing solely on wins and losses, this documentary highlights the values that martial arts can instill: discipline, resilience, respect, and the confidence to keep moving forward.
Produced by Coach Earl and Coach Sakan Lam, with cinematography and editing by Jeanette Herrera, MMA for the Youth captures the everyday moments that often go unseen—the hard work behind every round, every lesson, and every step of the journey.
Whether you’re involved in martial arts or simply appreciate stories of growth and perseverance, this is a reminder that every champion starts somewhere.
This is MMA for the Youth.
