“Newcastle Mixed Martial Arts offers a unique, small-class martial arts program. Jess Landry is the Founder and Program Director. Her experience includes amateur and professional fights, three black belts: two in striking and one in submission grappling. Newcastle Mixed Martial Arts offers private and small group classes to those interested in learning the techniques of reality-based self-defense and mixed martial arts ring fighting, like those seen in the Ultimate Fighting Championship and similar organizations. Their academy has active and retired fighters and competitors who join them regularly for training. However, their specialty caters to individuals who want to learn the art and skills of mixed martial arts (MMA) without necessarily wanting to compete in a ring or a cage. They have quite a different approach to many other gyms that aim to pursue martial arts belts instead of focusing on experience. They offer a one-week free trial class.”
