In 1993, when Royce Gracie stepped into the Octagon for the first time, the martial arts world experienced two simultaneous revolutions.  Not only was it introduced to Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, but also to Mixed Martial Arts (also known as Vale Tudo, “anything goes”).    Modern MMA introduced the concept of learning from the best combative arts there are so that a fighter was fully prepared to fight. 
 
At MAASPi, we are an affiliate of Team ROC (under UFC Hall-of-Famer, Royce Gracie), the largest and most successful MMA team in the Carolinas, with the largest roster of amateur and professional fighters.  Team-ROC has had fighters in the UFC, Strikeforce, IFL, Bodog, Shooto, CFP, King of the Cage and many others.

MAASPi’s MMA program, now known as SSDF (Striking Self Defense & Fitness) is headed by the area’s  MMA Fighter, Isaiah Monroe.  If you’re interested in competing or just wanting to learn one of the most effective forms of fighting in a fun, engaging environment, get started today!
