About

Ferocity Mixed Martial Arts (Ferocity Athletics, LLC) was officially founded in late 2008. Ferocity is a Maryland based Relson Gracie Academy. It is currently operated by Josh Dreiband and George Cochran, both proponents of the sport and trained in multiple disciplines.

The idea of forming an MMA Club and Training Facility was thought of as early as February 2008 after Ferocity's founders were approached by a fighter seeking advanced training. The founders' experience with freestyle wrestling and amateur boxing along with training and expertise in Sambo, MMA, boxing, and submission wrestling made for a lethal combination to help train the young fighter. Benefiting from the founders' expertise and highly tuned teaching skills, the fighter developed a diverse and unparalleled skill set. Their positive experience in helping train that fighter convinced the founders to move towards forming their own MMA Club and Facility once Maryland legalized it.

It is that vision of truly diverse training in MMA disciplines that forms the core of Ferocity's MMA training program.
