Join Us for One Intense Week of Training for Alistair Overeem's

and UFC top-contender Alex Gustafsson's Main Coaches!

Pretty cool, uh? Don't Miss!

MMA Academy welcomes you once again to what is most likely the world's No 1 MMA and muay thai summer camp.
If you're looking to improve your fighting and have a laugh or two at the same time, this is the place to be. We offer world-class instructors with experience from both K-1 and the UFC – and they'll all do their utmost to bring your fighting to the next level.

Besides, not only is the camp held in an idyllic Swedish summer setting with our very own lake, but we've also really put an effort in making the athmosphere just the way we want it - warm and welcoming, making sure all participants are having a great time. Simply put, a good old summer camp - for fighters.

UFC and K-1 experienced instructors, training and lectures – and yoga

With world-acclaimed fighting instructors and lecturers, Summer Camp 2012 will most likely play out as this year's best week for your MMA and muay thai training. There are different groups in order to match your level of experience and your preference for MMA or muay thai. In addition to awesome training, the camp also offers private classes with your favorite fighter, as well as strengthening morning yoga-sessions, inspiring lectures and relaxing massage treatments for aching joints and sore muscles.

"Long live MMA Academy!!! Now I'm home from the best Summer Camp in the world. A wonderful week with the nicest people. I think I've found my game, how I should fight and wrestle in MMA."

Rami Aziz, rising star on the Swedish MMA scene

Idyllic location and superb food

The camp is held in the woods of Södermanland just an hour away from the city of Stockholm. The training facility is located delightfully by the seaside, and in addition to a private beach, great diving cliffs and vast fields of green there is also a superb beach volleyball court and a soccer field where you can kick back with your buddies in between classes. If you rather prefer staying out of the sun, there is a gym area for weight-lifting and stretching as well as a pool table, a selection of films and computers at your full disposal. Besides, the food has gotten superb appraisal from all of previous years' participants and the BBQ night down by the beach is always a blast.

Friendly and welcoming atmosphere

We put a high value on the atmosphere – we don't condone the macho attitude often confused with MMA or martial arts in general, rather we stress the fellowship of fighters while having a great time together with friends. We want to show that fighting necessarily isn't about two brutes beating each other senseless – on the contrary, MMA, muay thai and fighting is about real athletes putting their bodies through hard and diligent training with attention to all aspects of martial arts.

"If you want to feel pounded and satisfied at the same time this is the place to go. The mix between training and social time has been completely fantastic and I've got to know lots of nice people with the same passion as myself."

Jens Holmberg, club Vaxjo Titans

Open sparring sessions for everyone with personal feedback
One of the most fun nights at every camp has been the open sparring sessions. Last year Brandon Vera joined the sparring himself, and everyone who felt the urge to exchange punches and kicks with "The Truth" got the chance to do so. That was really cool. This year we will have two nights of open sparring for everyone interested – and we will have several of the camp's instructors and pro fighters coming by to give you personal feedback on your sparring. Don't miss!
