Private mixed martial arts • Chagrin Falls + Bainbridge
Private MMA training, focused on your next step.
Build mixed martial arts skills with one-on-one coaching in Chagrin Falls and Bainbridge Township. Work on striking, takedowns, grappling, or connecting the ranges with feedback built around your experience. Choose I.V.A. Performance, or discuss a session at your residence if you prefer a travelling coach.
01 / The work
Individual attention for the skills you want to build.
Private MMA coaching gives you time to focus on a specific question, refine a movement, or build a foundation before joining a class. My coaching includes Muay Thai and no-gi jiu-jitsu fundamentals, with drills chosen for your starting point and goals.
You can train recreationally or work toward competition. For athletes with an event in mind, we discuss your experience, the rules, and your timeline before deciding which technical and conditioning priorities deserve attention. You do not need to compete to benefit from private coaching.
Sessions are available at I.V.A. Performance in the Tanglewood shopping center. If you prefer coaching at home, we review your space, surface, and equipment first. Striking and movement drills may fit a home setup, while takedown and grappling practice need suitable mats and room. We agree on the location and session plan before booking.
