Every Journey Starts Here
The Prospect Program
Every Champion Started Somewhere. The Prospect Program Is Where Your Journey Begins.
Before you commit to anything, before you choose a class time, before you even know if this is right for you — the Prospect Program gives you the chance to find out.
This is our dedicated introductory Mixed Martial Arts program designed specifically for brand new students. Whether you are a parent enrolling your child, an adult who has never set foot on a mat, or someone who trained years ago and is ready to get back — the Prospect Program is where everyone starts.
In this program you will be introduced to the foundational principles of Mixed Martial Arts — striking basics, movement, positional awareness, and defensive fundamentals — in a structured, beginner-friendly environment. You will not be thrown into advanced classes before you are ready. You will be given a real foundation to build on.
And you will have 30 full days to do it at zero cost.
Parent & Me · Ages 2–4
Parent & Me
The best thing you can do for your toddler is get on the mat with them.
Between ages two and four, your child's brain is developing at a rate it will never match again. The way they learn to listen, to move their body, to follow direction, to try something new without quitting — all of it is being wired right now.
Parent & Me is different. You are on the mat with your child the entire time. You are part of the lesson. You become part of their confidence.
Under the guidance of Coach Jazmine — who brings over 22 years of experience working with young children — this program introduces your toddler to the foundational movement and mindset principles of Mixed Martial Arts in a safe, nurturing, and energetic environment.
What your toddler develops:
- Basic body coordination and spatial awareness
- The ability to follow directions — directly preparing them for school readiness
- Early confidence in social settings with other children
- A physical foundation that gives them a head start as they grow
- A bond with you built through doing something meaningful together
Little Ninjas · Ages 4–7
Little Ninjas
This is where confidence gets built from the ground up.
Little Ninjas is our Mixed Martial Arts program specifically designed for children ages four through seven. Every drill, every exercise, every game inside this class has a purpose behind it. We are building attention spans. We are building self-regulation. We are building the ability to try something hard, not get it right immediately, and try again anyway.
What your child develops:
- The ability to follow multi-step instructions — something their teacher will notice immediately
- Physical coordination, balance, and body awareness through real Mixed Martial Arts fundamentals
- Their first real building blocks of self-defense taught in a non-threatening, encouraging way
- Respect for coaches, teammates, and themselves
- Self-confidence that comes from learning they can do hard things
Juniors · Ages 7–12
Juniors
The years between seven and twelve will shape who your child becomes. Make them count.
These are the years when bullying peaks. When social hierarchies form. When some kids start pulling ahead and others start falling behind — not because of intelligence, but because of confidence.
The Juniors Mixed Martial Arts program is built for exactly this moment. Students learn real Mixed Martial Arts — striking, takedowns, defensive grappling, and positional control into one complete system. They develop situational awareness. They learn how to manage pressure.
What your child develops:
- Real Mixed Martial Arts capability they can rely on under pressure
- Mental toughness and the ability to handle setbacks without shutting down
- Leadership skills that emerge naturally when a child becomes someone others look up to
- Discipline that transfers directly to academic performance and behavior at home
- A peer group of kids who are working toward something real
Teens · Ages 13–17
Teens
Every teenager wants to feel capable, respected, and like they belong to something real.
Teenagers need more than a hobby. They need identity. Training Mixed Martial Arts as a teenager does something that very few other activities can match. It teaches them they are more capable than they thought. It surrounds them with peers who are serious, focused, and pushing toward something real.
What your teen develops:
- Physical capability and real Mixed Martial Arts skills that will follow them for life
- Mental resilience — the ability to push through discomfort and not quit
- Social confidence that reshapes how they move through school and every other social situation
- Identity — a sense of who they are and what they are made of
- A community of people their age doing something with their time that actually means something
Adults · Ages 18+
Adults
Whether you want to compete, get fit, defend yourself, or just finally do something for you — you belong here.
No experience required. No fitness prerequisite. At Sodiq Yusuff MMA, adults train one complete Mixed Martial Arts system. Not a kickboxing class on Monday, a BJJ class on Wednesday, and a wrestling class on Friday with three different instructors. One unified program. One clear curriculum. Striking, grappling, takedowns, clinch work, ground defense, and self-defense principles — all taught together.
This program is for everyone:
- If you have never trained before — you will begin in the Prospect Program and be brought along at the right pace
- If you are an experienced martial artist — the environment will meet you where you are
- If your goal is fitness — MMA delivers cardio, strength, coordination, and mental focus in one session
- If you want real self-defense — you will learn techniques tested under actual pressure
- If you are looking for community — you will find it here
