John Wai Martial Arts

MMA brings multiple combat sports together into one complete system.

Muay Thai and boxing for striking. Wrestling for takedowns and control. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for grappling and submissions. Training MMA teaches you how to put those skills together and use them in different situations.

There’s a reason MMA has become one of the most popular combat sports in the world. It’s challenging, teaches practical self defense skills, and gives you a full body workout that will get you into shape.

Whether your goal is to compete, learn how to defend yourself, or simply find a different way to train, MMA has something to offer.

MMA training in Plantation combines Muay Thai, boxing, wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu into one complete combat sport.

Our JWMA fighters take their MMA training from the mats to the cage, putting their striking, wrestling, and BJJ skills to the test.

Being a good training partner is a skill too.

In BJJ, kids quickly learn that they need each other to improve. They take turns practicing techniques, communicate with their partner, work together, and learn how to give the right amount of resistance.

They also learn responsibility. When you train with someone, you have to take care of your partner, respect when to stop, and understand that both of you are there to get better.

All of that interaction helps kids develop teamwork, communication, and social skills while learning how to work with different personalities.





Learning a takedown also means learning control. Kids practice how to execute the technique safely, protect their training partner, and help each other improve.

“What do we listen with?” 👂

It may seem like a simple question, but moments like this are part of how we keep our younger students engaged and involved throughout class.

Kids ages 5 to 7 are developing their coordination, motor skills, attention span, and ability to follow instructions. Our Basic Ninjas classes are structured specifically for this stage of their development. We keep them moving, ask questions, get them involved, and make sure they’re having fun along the way.

Paying attention when someone is speaking, following directions, staying on task, and learning how to control their body are all practiced regularly on the mats.

They’re developing martial arts skills while reinforcing habits that carry into the classroom, home, and everyday life.

Victor Pujols steps into the PFL cage this Saturday!

Wishing Coach Ryan all the best with his move!

Ryan has been an awesome part of our coaching team, always bringing great energy to class and motivating our members to keep improving.

Before leaving, Ryan had one more goal he wanted to check off: step into the cage. He made his kickboxing debut at Combat Night and came away with his first win.

Thank you, Ryan, for everything you’ve brought to our team. Good luck with the move and whatever comes next!
