At Somerville MMA, our hill to die on is simple; showing up, standing by our choices, and becoming better every day.
We believe in loyalty to our teammates, commitment to our goals, and integrity in every action.
We choose to fight for discipline over comfort, courage over fear, and growth over excuses. In a world that constantly pulls you away from what matters, this is the hill we choose to stand on — together.

Improve Mental Health and Reduce Stress
Striking sports offer an effective outlet for stress and anxiety. Focusing on technique, rhythm, and intensity helps participants release tension, improve mood, and develop mental resilience.
