You’ll Gain Essential Self-Defense Skills – in a Safe, Controlled, & Experience-Appropriate Environment
If you’ve always wanted to try mixed martial arts, but had concerns about safety, we feel your pain.
Most MMA schools think (incorrectly) that the only way to teach their students how to fight is having them toss on boxing gloves and swing for the fences.
Not only is this counter-productive and dangerous, but it also hinders the learning process.
Our grappling and sparring instruction is always conducted with utmost control and – most importantly – only when your instructor determines you are truly ready.
At that time, you’ll only be sparring at a level you can handle, with your instructor or another advanced student, so that you can get comfortable in small steps.
The idea is to train hard – but safely- and enjoy the experience.
At Ivey League MMA, you’ll be reaching your potential as a fighter – and be able to go to work the next day.

More Rave Reviews From Happy Students…
“I Highly Recommend Danny Ives as a Coach!”
I highly recommend Danny Ives as a coach. He has played a very significant role in my growth as a Mixed Martial Artist and was my first real Jiu Jitsu/MMA instructor.
Throughout my time in the UFC and IFL I’ve used many principles and techniques he taught me, which included me being awarded two submission of the night honors in the IFL as well as two IFL World Team titles.
I won my UFC debut by submission also, and alot of it goes back to my time spent studying under Danny in the past. To this day I still give Danny phone calls when I have technique questions. I owe alot to him as an instructor and friend.
