The Academy of Martial Studies in Fayetteville, North Carolina, is a dynamic Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB). Amongst our offerings is the Ultimate Reality Based Attack & Neutralization (U.R.B.A.N.) Military Combatives Program, dedicated to improving the combat-effectiveness of our nation’s most elite war fighters. We provide much more than just MMA training; as a Defense Contracting Company, we provide elite military courses for our service members as well. The Academy has its roots in fighting. It was created by world champion fighters who have trained in the martial arts all their lives and taught soldiers around the world. From Michael’s history of fighting in Afghanistan and many other areas of conflict with his service with the 7th Special Forces Group and other Government Agencies to our many other Instructors constantly teaching many of the same operators whose lives are on the line day in and day out, exposed to the inevitable and harsh realities of the real world.
Creating the Academy’s strong desire to cut through all of the fake and worthless systems being passed off as effective and bring something real to the real world. The Academy understands that the current methods and systems being taught to our Nation’s War Fighters are proving that they are completely ineffective when needed to survive in a life or death situation. The Academy was created to specifically address and correct this shortcoming. The development of the URBAN Combatives Program directly fights the system in ensuring that sport competition methods recently being taught to soldiers can be laid to rest instead or our war fighters. The common misconceptions about Sport Brazilian Jiu-jitsu or other competition or sport systems completely fail to address the relativities of the real world.
The Academy was formed to bring reality back to fighting and better prepare our War Fighters to survive and win the day. The Academy provides realistic, dynamic, and adaptive military combatives training at client sites worldwide, at our Academy locations, and at the sites of our teaming partners. Our facilities include our newest training facility in Fayetteville located near the Yadkin Gate Entrance to Fort Bragg. We have also joined forces with The Carlson Gracie Federation and many UFC legends like Dan “The Beast” Severn who visit and teach at The Academy often. Carolina Fight Magazine has named us the Number 1 Ammateur MMA Gym in the Nation. Our fight team, The Academy Warriors, have been stomping competition in the cage and major events like NAGA Championships.
