MMA Training
Near Orlando, FL
Gracie Barra Celebration's MMA program fuses grappling, striking, and wrestling into one cohesive system — led by Head Instructor Rodrigo Frezza in the heart of Osceola County.
Where Every Martial Art Meets the Mat
Mixed Martial Arts is the ultimate proving ground for combat techniques. Every style has been tested inside the cage — and what survived is the blend of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, and Muay Thai that makes up modern MMA. At Gracie Barra Celebration, our MMA program doesn't just touch on each discipline — it teaches you how to transition seamlessly between them.
Head Instructor Rodrigo Frezza builds each MMA class around scenario-based training: how to close distance against a striker, defend a takedown and counter, maintain cage control, and finish fights on the ground. Adults sessions (14+) include wrestling integration, ground-and-pound positioning, and live situational rounds. Kids MMA (6-13) introduces multi-discipline fundamentals through structured games and drills that develop athleticism and fight IQ early.
MMA sessions run multiple times weekly at 1420 Celebration Blvd, Ste 108, alongside our No-Gi and Self-Defense classes. Fighters from Celebration, Kissimmee, Champions Gate, and the broader Disney-corridor area choose GB Celebration for serious MMA development.
