Who teaches it

Learn from someone who has fought

Ariel "Tarzan" Sexton doesn't teach MMA from a textbook. He has stood across the cage from professionals, and he has built an MMA program before.

ONE

A ONE Championship veteran

Ariel fought in ONE Championship's lightweight division as a professional mixed martial artist.

Brooklyn

He built the curriculum

As head coach at Renzo Gracie Brooklyn, leading over 700 students, he developed the school's MMA curriculum.

Black belt

A jiu-jitsu base

A 3rd degree black belt under Daniel Gracie with a pressure-based, submission-driven game. When the fight hits the mat, you will know what to do.

In the family

MMA runs in this lineage

The name on the door fought too. Daniel Gracie competed in MMA from 2002, in PRIDE, the International Fight League, Bellator and Israel FC. His student Ariel took the same path into ONE Championship.

Mixed martial arts puts striking and grappling together. Here the grappling comes straight from the Gracie family's jiu-jitsu, and your coach has done it as a professional.
