Bismarck MMA

Bismarck MMA is anchored by Coach Roger Stiner, a retired mixed martial arts competitor with over two decades of fighting experience and a blue belt in Gracie Jiu Jitsu under Rodrigo Gracie. Roger’s background as a three-time NFA Middleweight Champion and his connection to the Gracie lineage shape the school’s approach to training, blending practical MMA skills with traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu techniques. His assistant, Isaiah Spitzer, also holds a blue belt under Rodrigo Gracie and brings additional competitive experience as an amateur MMA fighter. The academy offers a variety of training options that reflect the mixed martial arts roots of the program. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes for both kids and adults focus on fundamental takedowns, dominant positions, and a broad range of submissions, including chokes, joint locks, and leg attacks. Striking disciplines such as Muay Thai and boxing emphasize technique, conditioning, and fight strategy, while wrestling and judo classes cover clinch work, throws, and ground control. Open mat sessions are available for adults to drill and spar in a less structured setting. Bismarck MMA serves practitioners starting at age 10 and up, with separate classes tailored for youth and adults. The school’s location on Airport Road provides a convenient spot for those looking to train multiple martial arts under one roof, combining grappling, striking, and MMA training. The focus remains on steady progression through skills and conditioning rather than competition hype, reflecting the long experience and practical mindset of its leadership.
