"A man who has attained mastery of an art reveals it in his every action."

7th Star is one the top MMA Academies in North America, and the originator of academies for EA MMA and UFC. 7th Star is unlike any camp or training group out there, with our unique belt system and requirement system (Both Posted Below). 7th Star is also unique with our approach with teaching and training a fighter, which we can only describe as; Intense. 7th Star is also one of the only academies online that allows fighters to join regardless of their camp, or even league. We are established to help anyone, which we have been doing since 2009.

Though 7th Star did not start out as 7th Star, and is still not at its truest potential, we are still one of the top ground academies with a long history to prove it. Though we currently have no champion fighters in 7th Star, we believe the heart of a fighter is more powerful then a belt of gold or silver. Train with 7th Star and you will not regret it.
