The highly qualified camps with Jon Jones training partners in Endicott, NY and Irving, NY were the drive for success in the MMA.

Owned by Hall of Fame Karate expert Sensei Bill Matteson. R.I.P.T.mma hosts a successful MMA and Grappling program throughout the County. Our fully equipt facility includes power bags, focus pads and mits, 100lb. banana bags, belly pads, new grappling mats in our private grappling room, cage, exercise equipment(ie: jump rope ect.), full length wall of mirrors and the largest training facility in the area.
