Our history
MMARAP was founded in 2012, by Mixed Martial Arts expert and published author, Jonathan Buffong.
The trailblazing, non-profitable Community Interest Company (CIC) has become an established part of life in Islington, north London, for deaf, blind, disabled and young people.
MMARAP is committed and driven to supporting, training and mentoring youngsters using mixed martial arts (MMA). From our very first session eight years, we have used MMA as an invaluable tool to develop essential life skills, such as confidence, discipline and respect.
We have run sessions down the years, with outstanding success and in January 2018, we took our unique approach out to St Kitts and Nevis, in the Caribbean, for an amazing and empowering trip. We hold sessions and programmes at Ringcross Community Centre, and also have a tight team of coaches and contacts, who can teach boxing, karate and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing and wrestling, to youngsters and adults across London.
