Mixed Martial Arts is one of the most popular and effective sport combat systems in the world. Wise Warrior Gym in Edmonton trains complete beginners to advanced practitioners in functional MMA with realistic street-sport crossover.

Why Get Involved in our Mixed Martial Arts Programs?

Fitness and Health

MMA is an excellent vehicle for producing superior results in multiple categories of physical fitness and health:

Strength (muscular endurance & power)
Cardio (endurance & stamina)
Coordination (mobility, agility, & balance)

We are built to move, and MMA is hard to beat as it engages the body on all planes through dynamic movement and many varied positions.

An all-encompassing, whole approach to Mixed Martial Arts

Most people think of MMA as two combatants in a ring or cage. Our Mixed Martial Arts definition focuses on all aspects of MMA, including: Life (well-being, health, and fitness), Street (real-world self-defense crossover), and Sport (technique, skill-building, and love for the combative arts).

Along with striking, clinch, and ground combat, we also have weapons classes.

You will have a blast training with us!

We take functionality, results, and expert skill development seriously. And we also want you to have a ton of fun while learning.

We have a fun, friendly, and inviting training atmosphere. Beginner, intermediate or advanced, you will feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. We are proud of our nonjudgmental student attitude and the strong community spirit of our gym.

SAFETY is always number one.

Safety is always at the heart of our training. We utilize up-to-date, intelligent training approaches and train in a smart, progressive, SAFE manner.
