Complete Beginners
Never trained before? You are exactly who the Kickstarter was built for.
Beginner-friendly MMA, BJJ, Wrestling and Striking classes — from your first ever session to fight night.
OMMA was founded in 2019 to bring real mixed martial arts coaching to Omagh. In 2025 we moved into a dedicated home at 11 James Street — a base for MMA, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Boxing, Striking, Kids MMA, Teen MMA and our beginner Kickstarter programme. You don't need experience, fitness or confidence to start. But if you want to compete, the pathway is right here.
