Fight Science MMA

Fight Science MMA in Los Angeles is built around the hands-on, technical training developed by founder Ian Harris, whose approach comes from decades of experience across boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, Jeet Kune Do, and other disciplines. Classes here reflect that hybrid foundation: students encounter a curriculum shaped by both practical self-defense and the realities of competition, with Harris and longtime coaches like Julian Rush and Leo Hirai drawing from their own years in the cage and on the mat. The method itself took root in 2003, well before MMA was a mainstream sport in California, and the team’s history includes producing champions at both the amateur and professional levels. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at Fight Science includes structured gi classes for adults, a competition team, and dedicated kids’ programs. Beginners can start with fundamentals and open mat sessions, while more experienced grapplers find advanced drills and sparring geared toward competition. The academy maintains a drop-in friendly policy for most sessions, making it easy for visitors and locals alike to get mat time. Kids’ classes cover both BJJ and mixed martial arts, and the curriculum is designed to emphasize underlying principles that apply across martial arts styles. Beyond jiu-jitsu, Fight Science offers a full slate of MMA, striking, and sparring classes, led by coaches with experience in organizations ranging from local shows to the UFC and Bellator. The facility is equipped with showers for post-training convenience, and the schedule supports both casual students and those aiming for fight preparation. The academy’s roots in the Los Angeles area run deep, with a coaching staff that continues to evolve its programs while staying true to the scientific, technical approach that has defined the gym from the start.
