Here’s a Secret Clip of UFC Fighter Joe Lauzon Teaches a World-Class MMA Seminar at Black Diamond Mixed Martial Arts:

No matter your skill level, experience or ability, we have a class that’s just right for you.
Since we offer a variety of different types of classes in four unique levels, you can quickly transform yourself from total newbie to experienced fighter faster than you ever imagined possible.
Our main classes include:
• Mixed Martial Arts Basics. Learn the fundamentals of kickboxing skills, boxing skills, takedowns, and ground fighting…
• Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Basics. Discover the most powerful ground fighting self defense system in the world – and learn it form the BEST! Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, or BJJ, is a ground fighting style that focuses on joint locks and choke holds to subdue your opponent and also teaches you to stay in the most optimal positions for any self defense situation.

• Muay Thai Kickboxing. Learn the ancient secrets of this exciting and ultimately effective kickboxing art from the far east…
With Muay Thai Kickboxing, you will learn to use your whole body to strike like a weapon. It includes punches just like you would see in Boxing, but takes it up a notch with punishing kicks, knees and elbows that give you a powerful array of attacks and defenses for the cage or the street.
• MMA Conditioning Class. Watch as you experience a dramatic improvement in your overall physical endurance, cardiovascular health, and muscle strength…
In all of our classes, you’ll be treated to the unparalleled Black Diamond style of hand-to-hand combat.

Our distinctive style takes the fundamentals of BJJ and Muay Thai and combines it with the leg locks of Sombo and the takedowns of Freestyle and Folkstyle Wrestling to make you an unstoppable force – we’ve studied it all and we bring it to you in a powerful way.

In and out of the ring, our one-of-a-kind training systems have been proven time and time again to be the most effective available.

Black Diamond MMA is the ONLY authentic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing and MMA gym in ALL of SOUTHERN RHODE ISLAND.

But, when it comes to telling you about our instructors, you don’t have to take our word for how good they are.

Listen To What Our Students Are Saying…

A quick word to those fighters out there…

The Black Diamond Mixed Martial Arts Academy:
… Not Same as These Other “MMA” Gyms

(Check out our KIDS CLASSES, click here)   (Click here – MMA Program)   (Click here – Brazilian Jiu Jitsu)   (Ladie’s Kickboxing)

At Black Diamond MMA, we teach genuine Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Self-Defense.
If you’re looking for a top-rate MMA gym, it’s very important that you find a program that includes all three of the major mixed martial arts disciplines:

• Striking (e.g., Muay Thai kickboxing)
• Takedowns (e.g., wrestling)
• Ground Grappling (e.g., Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu)

If you’re considering another MMA school, be sure to ask if they offer all three disciplines. Do they offer expert training in each discipline? Do they have students active and successfully competing in each discipline? Do the instructors themselves have an great track record in expert-level competition?

If they do not, it’s best you continue looking for a well-rounded program that offers you the comprehensive training you need to succeed in every aspect of the sport.

At Black Diamond MMA, we teach all three styles of fighting: BJJ, Muay Thai kickboxing, and Wrestling.

We have developed a rigorous, step-by-step curriculum that reduces each of the three systems into their fundamental building blocks. We then specialize in teaching you how to put them together in the best way possible, so you can truly be the most complete martial artist.

What do we offer you? Take a look at what separates us from the rest:…

Black Diamond MMA
VS
‘Others’

BDMMA: Great Striking Skills
Our kickboxing coaches Josh Labossiere and Tim O’Connell (amongst other Black Diamond fighters) have been coached and trained for years in Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai Kickboxing.
These coaches have dedicated themselves not only to excellence in teaching their art, but in becoming proficient competitors as well – and they share their skills and success secrets with you.

Others: Mediocre Striking
Many so-called MMA gyms may have decorated or proven Jiu-Jitsu practitioners, but these instructors have focused much of their training on submissions. If they know how to strike at all, they are often mediocre at best.
If you want to master the standup game, you deserve better and that’s exactly what Black Diamond MMA offers you.

BDMMA: World Class Takedowns
Black Diamond MMA is known around the world for its amazing wrestlers and judo practitioners. Indeed, our very own Jon Egan is an extremely accomplished Wrestler, and even coaches for Roger Williams University. Our instructors possess some of the best takedown skills found anywhere and have been battle-tested by the world’s best submission wrestlers and at a national level in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competitions.

Others: Weak Takedowns
Unfortunately, a lot of grapplers learn their takedowns only from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructors. The problem with this approach is that BJJ is known for having relatively weak takedowns. The BJJ specialist is all about the ground game – not what happens before you hit the ground.
As a result, many MMA schools that don’t have strong wrestling and/or Judo instructors tend to produce students who don’t have strong takedowns.
Black Diamond MMA teaches you the expert takedown techniques you need to dominate.

BDMMA: World-Class Ground Grappling
With professional fighters and nationally ranked Brazilian Jiu Jitsu experts instructing you, you can feel confident that you’re getting the best coaching available anywhere in the Southern RI area.
Dan Faggella is recognized as one of the best submission grapplers in the entire nation in his weight class, and at under 140 pounds, he subits opponents twice his size in competition. BDMMA takes their ground skills seriously.

Others: Poor Ground Grappling
Jiu-jitsu is an evolving sport that requires innovation and dedication to meeting new challenges. That’s why it is so rare to find quality ground grappling.
More often than not, you’ll come across old, out-dated, and ineffective Jiu-Jitsu skills being taught by many non-competitive grapplers. Regretfully, just about anybody can attend a two-hour seminar and claim to be masters of the sport.
Black Diamond MMA equips you with the leading-edge grappling skills you must have if you want to devastate your opponents and create a complete fighting package.

BDMMA: Real-World Fighting Experience
It doesn’t do you any good to know striking, takedowns, or ground grappling if you can’t put it all together into a serious fight plan.
At Black Diamond, our head instructors are decorated professional fighters with titles earned in the ring and cage. They know exactly what works and what doesn’t in a real fight. When it comes to self defense or competitive fighting, you don’t need theories, you need techniques that will set you up for victory in the heat of battle.

Others: Mediocre or Non-Existent Fight Experience
If you want to truly learn how to become an all-around high-quality mixed martial artist, you must learn from instructors who have “been there, done that.” Be sure to ask your potential instructors how much fight experience they have. Be careful of instructors who possess certifications under respected fighters but have not entered the cage or ring themselves.
Black Diamond MMA’s instructors are battle-tested and have been through some of the most epic mixed martial arts wars on the planet … and won! As you can see, there are many things you must look for when searching for the perfect MMA gym.
At Black Diamond MMA, we’ve made it almost too simple for you. Why? Because we’ve brought together world-class instructors who teach everything you need to know to become a seasoned fighter.

BDMMA: Real, Fun, Effective Kid’s Martial Arts Classes
Black Diamond Mixed Martial Arts Kid’s Classes are designed not only to be based on the technical effectiveness of Muay Thai kickboxing, MMA and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, they’re also crafted to instill the core values of lifelong learning, focus, and discipline – and its all structured around fun and engaging classes (including great Martial Arts Games that develop the skills and dexterity kids need to succeed!).

Others: Fake, Disengaging Kid’s Martial Arts Classes
“Hiiiyyaaaa.” That’s what you’ll hear at most other kids martial arts programs – while the students line up and punch and kick the air. The fact of the matter is that almost no traditional martial arts gyms have integrated the effective, real-world techniques of BJJ and ground self defense (probably the most relevant skills of self defense for any child!), but they also forget how to make things FUN! The extremes are usually no structure, or too much structure, rarely with any real focus on making sure the best skills are learned while keeping the young minds engaged fully!

Are You A Fighter Looking To Take It Up A Notch?

Have you been looking for a true mixed martial arts program and discovered that most of them are completely one-dimensional or just repackaged Karate?

Do you want to learn how to totally devastate your competition?
Are you ready to take the next step toward making your dream of becoming an MMA fighter a reality?
Do you think you’ve got what it takes to hit the next level and make it big on the local, national and even international arena?

If you answered “YES” to any of the above questions, it’s time to Black Diamond MMA competition-tested instructors with the highest level of knowledge and experience give you the fight support you really need.

If the thought of letting our instructor help you turn the volume way up on your fight skills brings a smile to your face, Black Diamond MMA is your place.

If you’ve always wanted to slam, kick, punch, and apply submission holds in the cage, then Team Black Diamond is the team to train with!

But, don’t worry – if going toe-to-toe with a competitor isn’t your idea of fun, Black Diamond MMA is the ideal environment for you to turbo-charge your normal workouts…

Working Out Never Felt So Good!

In your very first class, you’re going to discover that MMA skills are not only super fun to learn, but they’re a fantastic way to get in amazing shape.

No Sparring Necessary! We take Fitness Seriously (unlike the unprofessional “brawler room” gyms)!

If you’ve always wanted to try mixed martial arts, but didn’t like the idea of getting hit in the face, we feel your pain.

Many MMA schools think the only way to teach their students how to fight is to put on boxing gloves and swing for the fences. Not only is this counter-productive and dangerous, but it also hinders the learning process and usually results in unnecessary injuries.

At Black Diamond MMA, most of our students have families and jobs and can’t afford to leave the gym with black eyes.
Our grappling and sparring instruction is always conducted with utmost control and – most importantly – only when your instructor determines you are truly ready.
At that time, you will only be sparring with your instructor or an advanced student, so that you can get comfortable.

The idea is to train smart and have fun.
Only our amateur and professional fighters do hard sparring to prepare themselves for the conditions inside the cage.

At Black Diamond MMA, your safety is always our number one concern AND turning you into the best fighter we can, of course…

“Mr. Daniel Faggella is an outstanding teacher of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and a competitive grappling fighter in the national tournaments. I strongly recommend anyone interested in improving their martial arts knowledge and practice to seek out Coach Faggella and work with him to learn while getting great training and enjoyment at the same time. Whether you’re interested in pure traditional Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, or you’re training to become a Mixed Martial Artist or Grappling Competitor, Coach Dan should be your first choice for instruction.”

Michael L. Werth, Sensei
Owner of Main Street Martial Arts

“A lot of people seem to think Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are dangerous sports. I don’t think so at all – I’m 54 and I love training at Omoplata. I’m not out to be a world champion, I just love the sport and mastering new techniques. I train 3 to 4 times a day with Coach Dan and Tim, and every day I’m learning something new with people of all ages and backgrounds. I don’t care what age you are or shape you’re in, You’ve got to check out this Academy!”

Mr. Wayne Guarand
From West Warwick, RI
Currently lives in Charlestown, RI
Black Diamond MMA Academy Mastery Level Member

“Before I started training I weighed about 290 lbs. and hated being overweight but never enjoyed or was motivated enough to begin exercising. About a year ago my friend Tim O’Connell (Instructor at Black Diamond BJJ) introduced me to Brazilian Jui Jitsu and I was immediately hooked. I had never done wrestling or learned any martial arts before, but was able to pick the basics with little trouble. Since then whenever I have a free day I try to get to the gym and learn something new also I now weigh 185 lbs. the lightest I’ve been in years.”

Matt Hitt
URI Student
Omoplata Student

“The training I have received at Black Diamond has provided me with tools I have used to effectively and safely control combative subjects. The training environment is professional and motivated. I’d rate them an A for Awesome!”
