Note:	Great Place to Train and receive advice from the Coaches! WOW what a different place to learn MMA and to have FUN
Details:	BlackMat MMA is an official 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization teaching Mixed Martial Arts-MMA to boys and girls, young adults and to help â€œat risk â€ and â€œunder-privilegedâ€ kids in the city of Whittier, California, and the surrounding cities. BMMMA was founded in 2003 to provide boys and girls and young adults a safe haven; a place where they could feel safe, be respected, and be treated with dignity and honesty. A place where they can grow as martial artists, but most importantly as human beings. At Black Mat they learn the discipline to make changes in their young lives that will help them achieve their goals starting with graduation from middle school then high school and the importance of higher education. Each child or youth is able to train five times a week. Upon arrivaleach student is welcomed with a hug by trainers and fellow students. They are taught the skills of Boxing, Judo, Submission Wrestling , Kickboxing, Wrestling & Self Defense. Through training they are taught humility, patience, self control,and awareness before self defense.The kids are also taught love, acceptance, compassion and respect for one another. After training the kids have an opportunity to discuss any issues that may be of concern in their lives. New kids may be paired with a mentor, usually another student who has been attending BMMMA for a year or longer. The students participate in competitions throughout Southern California. They also participate in community service by sharing their testimonies to â€œat risk kidsâ€ in the Vida program ran by the Los Angeles Sheriffs Dept. Over the last 9 years Black Mat has served over 800 kids who have stayed in school, out of trouble and have graduated. Many are currently serving in the Armed Forces. Staff is available to all students and parents for mentoring, support and tutoring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
