Free Women's Seminar

With pro MMA fighter Gabi McComb · Women only · All levels

Professional MMA fighter Gabi McComb — undefeated at 5–0 with all five wins by finish — teaches a women-only seminar on the fundamentals that matter most: how to stay on your feet, how to get off the bottom, and how to control someone bigger than you. Built for first-timers and for women who already train.

  • No experience needed. No partner needed.
  • Wear athletic clothes you can move in; no shoes on the mat.
  • Register online in two minutes — you sign the waiver when you register, so you can walk straight onto the mat.
  • Free. If you'd like to support Gabi's fight camp, there's an optional donation at the door.
