Bowie MMA under Carlos Catania is an amazing place to train. I have a background as an 0351 Marine Combat Assaultman and have sparred Tae Kwon Do. Now, I train here with my 10 year old son and I am more impressed than I could have imagined. My son sweats with the big guys… they call him “little man” and I couldn’t have asked for a more encouraging place to train. My wife even says he acts differently towards her in public in a very good way. This is the best thing that’s happened to us in a long time.
