MAG platform
MMA.School
Connecting mixed martial arts: a knowledge hub on MMA organisations, styles and events, and a network of MMA schools across the Netherlands.
MMA School is a Martial Arts Group (MAG) platform that connects people with mixed martial arts. It works on two levels. The international site at mma.school is a knowledge hub, organised by country, with reference sections on MMA organisations, styles and techniques, and events; its organisations directory describes promotions such as the UFC, ONE Championship, the PFL and KSW. The Dutch edition at nl.mma.school presents itself as the MMA school of the Netherlands: visitors choose a city from a list that runs from Groningen and Assen to Heerlen and Sittard, and register for a trial lesson at an MMA school there, with equipment available on loan for that first session. The platform is open to complete beginners as well as athletes preparing for a competition. For Martial Arts Group (MAG), every trial-lesson request is a prospective member for a local MMA gym, which makes MMA School part of its lead generation and community building work.

The platform
What problem does MMA School solve?
MMA School is built around one idea, expressed in its tagline: connecting mixed martial arts. Mixed martial arts combines striking and grappling disciplines such as kickboxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and wrestling, and newcomers often find it hard to know where to start. MMA School gives them a clear entry point.
The international site, mma.school, is organised by country and offers reference sections on MMA organisations, styles and techniques and events. Its organisations directory profiles well-known promotions such as the UFC, ONE Championship, the PFL, Bellator, RIZIN and KSW, giving fans and aspiring athletes a single place to understand the professional landscape of the sport.
The Dutch network
How does MMA School work in the Netherlands?
The Dutch edition, nl.mma.school, presents itself as the MMA school of the Netherlands. Visitors choose a location from a list of cities that runs from Groningen and Assen in the north to Heerlen and Sittard in the south, and register for a trial lesson at an MMA school in that city.
The message is deliberately welcoming: MMA is for everyone. Whether someone wants to lose weight, feel more confident or prepare for a first competition, the platform explains that they will be coached by experienced trainers in a safe training group where respect comes first. Equipment can be borrowed for the trial lesson, which removes one of the most common barriers for beginners.
- A safe training environment
- Trainers with experience in several combat sports disciplines
- Opportunities to train for specific goals
- Private training for faster development
- Classes for every level, from first lesson to competition
Part of MAG
How does MMA School connect to Martial Arts Group?
MMA School is a platform powered by Martial Arts Group (MAG), the marketing, management and networking organisation for the martial arts world, and the Dutch site states this in its footer. For Martial Arts Group (MAG), the platform is both a community and a practical growth channel. Every trial-lesson request submitted on nl.mma.school is a prospective member for a local MMA gym, which is the same principle behind MAG's lead generation and community building work for gyms and clubs. Because the international site also covers MMA organisations and events, it supports MAG's work with fighters as well: athletes who want to progress can combine the platform's overview of the professional landscape with MAG's fight management and marketing management services. Gym owners who want to know how MMA School and MAG's other platforms can bring trial students to their classes can read about the lead generation service or contact MAG directly.
