Testimonials

“I thoroughly enjoy your MMA classes. I was hesitant about starting what I thought were called “Ultimate Fighting Lessons” at an “Ultimate Fighting School” (Now I realize of course it is called Mixed Martial Arts), but was I surprised when I walked in and had never met a nicer group of people! I have never been a very athletic person, and it has been really rewarding to find something physical that I can get into and truly enjoy. You’ve managed to do a great job in making martial arts non-intimidating for guys like me.”
Scott Mercer, Philadelphia, PA

“What separates Daddis Training Centers from the rest is that they constantly stay ahead of the curve by constantly being active and successful in the trifecta of combat sports competitions…Muay Thai, Submission Grappling and MMA. Few schools excel in all three styles. Take it from someone who has trained in the martial arts for a life time. It doesn’t get any better than this place and their reputation speaks for itself! This is not your typical karate school with some kickboxing instruction. This place helps it’s members in ALL aspects of life. My best friends are now here and I wouldn’t trade going to Daddis Fight Camps for the world!”
John Phillips, Cherry Hill, NJ, age 40

“Your Academy has changed my life!..after just weeks of Mixed Martial Arts Training lessons I could see the benefit. I no longer smoke, I no longer drink,….I have conquered my fear of stepping into the ring and have made friends that are family for a lifetime. But, most of all, I have learned to love myself and trust myself. Thank you so much for having a place for people to really live!”
Erica O’Bierne , Philadelphia, PA, age 32

“Thank you, Instructor Brad, for your exceptional coaching, encouragement, and for taking me under your wing. I started out for BJJ instruction in Philadelphia, but found much, much more! You played a major role in transforming a little guy into a confident mixed martial arts fighter and champion.”
Joe Cargado, Age 40

Why Choose Us?

Why Choose us for fitness? Why not a typical gym?

Let’s face it…The Ultimate Fighting Champions, championship grapplers and professional Muay Thai fighters are in the best shape of just about anyone in the world. The reason for this is that their workouts need to include cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, and flexibility while maintaining a lean and strong body. Our curriculum is designed to condition you the same way these fighters condition themselves. Our goal is not to be a body builder, but rather to be in impeccable shape with the same attributes that the fighters have. We help you attain functional strength through the use of body weight exercises, Kettlebell Training lessons and through the Martial Arts Curriculums themselves. Yoga poses are also incorporated into every martial arts class we teach at our schools to increase flexibility, improve breathing, decrease stress and prevent injuries.

It would be easy to think that because we have such a successful competition team that we don’t teach self-defense applicable for the self-defense. That is dead wrong! Practical self-defense is first and foremost. The arts we teach such as Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (aka BJJ) were originally designed for self-defense. Boxing in Philadelphia has a long history and that tradition has been kept alive at our mixed martial arts schools in both Philadelphia and South Jersey. There is no better art for punching than boxing and so naturally, it too, is a martial art even though some don’t consider it one.

It is true that we have members competing in the highest levels of competition, including Elite XC, Bellator Fighting Championships, The UFC, The Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu World Championships and “The Ultimate Fighter” TV Series. One might think that because our fighters compete at such high levels, that we wouldn’t have a beginner program that would be right for them. Again, this is not the case! We breed our competitors from the ground up! They were beginners once as well.

Nothing is more important than having strong fundamentals that come through the use of a sound beginner’s curriculum. And that is exactly what we have created: a strong, structured beginner’s curriculum designed to develop your conditioning and fighting prowess in a very short time.

“My cardio has gone through the roof since I started Mixed Martial Arts…And it’s only been two months! I am eating more than ever, but still losing a ton of weight! I was a bit apprehensive and intimidated about being brand new at the martial arts. But it quickly became obvious in my first class that I had nothing to worry about. My nerves seemed to melt during my introductory lesson as I realized that the programs at the academies were created with beginners like me in mind ”
Jeff Cunningham, Age 35

Our Philosophy

Our Philosophy on Self-Defense

We teach what works! Our Mixed Martial Arts program trains you to be a “complete” martial artist. It is important to be well versed in various martial arts. There is not one style that teaches you everything you need to know. We utilize Brazilian (Gracie) Jiu-jitsu, Submission Grappling, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, and more! Students learn simple but effective counters to the most common self-defense situations such as bear hugs, head locks, choke holds, tackles, grabs and learn effective counters in our classes. Our system is on the cutting edge of fitness and the modern day martial arts that we teach are always as exciting as they are practical.
