THE FEROCITY ADVANTAGE

When we opened our doors here at Ferocity we had one thing in mind, our goal. Our goal was, and remains today, to find and engineer the best and most disciplined mixed martial arts fighters in the Mid-Atlantic area. We know achieving our goal will take hard work, focus and resolve from not only our fighters but Ferocity's trainers, managers, and coaches as well.

With a specially-tailored class schedule, which includes Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and more, Ferocity supplies the tools necessary for each student to develop into a well-rounded fighter and successful competitor. We do so in a positive learning environment where everyone is encouraged to work to their maximum potential.

For those who are not looking to compete in mixed martial arts there is room for you as well. Our classes are a great way to stay healthy and fit or help get back in shape while learning valuable self defense tactics.

MARYLAND HAS LEGALIZED MMA!

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has seen a huge increase in national exposure over the past few years, sparking a growth of popularity and interest from the general public. As a result of this national exposure, efforts were made to legalize the sport in Maryland, and in 2008 the efforts to make MMA legal in Maryland were finally successful.

more » Although the practice is now legal, details concerning the sanctioning of events are still under review by the State Athletic Commision.

The Maryland MMA community hopes to see sanctioning become available soon. Once sanctioned events become possible, we can expect exciting events featuring some of the country’s elite MMA talents to start taking place right here in Maryland.

Ferocity Mixed Martial Arts is an MMA Club poised to become one of Maryland's premier MMA training facilities, as well as being prepared to be in the forefront of Maryland based groups that will produce and promote MMA fights almost immediately following the official sanctioning of such events.
