Pride Lands MMA Academy

“I started training at Pride Lands in June of 2018 with about six months of prior Jiu Jitsu training background. Since then I’ve tried to make it into three training sessions per week. From the level of overall experience on this mat, and the commitment of Professors Jason and Paul I have become more than proficient as a beginner and I am competing in my first tournament next month. (NAGA World Championship) Thank you to Jay, Paul and the entire team. Dark side, RGA, Donaher Deathsquad, etcetera, etcetera... 👊🏾 Come check it out and become a stronger, smarter version of you.”

“Best gym in the area by far. Jason and the other coaches bring lifetimes of knowledge and experience to the mats and create an environment that is welcoming to everyone.”

“I’ve been training here since Dec 2022 - Jay Ratchford is an excellent coach and amazing human being who pushes you and encourages you to be the best version of yourself on and off the mat. The people that train here are exceptionally humble and easy to train with. The gym is full of individuals of all skill levels in BJJ/Judo/wrestling/striking. The classes are taught by high level professors who enjoy what they do and will go out of their way to work one-on-one with you. This is the place for you whether you’re an active competitor or just a hobbyist.”

“There is no better place to learn MMA and Jiu Jitsu in NEPA! The coaches are great they simplify everything and are patient with every student. The fellow training partner are always friendly and helpful. If you’re looking for a great place to train and join a family atmosphere this is the academy for you!”

“Pride Lands is the best martial arts gym in the area! I’ve been training here for years. The coaches and members/ teammates are great and treat you like family. Everyone helps each other improve and brush up on their skills. It’s incredible how well they break down techniques for someone to learn and understand. You might be nervous to walk into an mma gym for the first time but I highly recommend you try pride lands out! You won’t regret it! They have an adults class and a kids class. All of the coaches love to help, don’t be shy to ask questions. It changed my confidence and attitude inside and outside of the gym. I’m very grateful I found this gym. It’s a great workout, lots of fun and very welcoming. Try it out!! You won’t regret it!!”
