Syndicate Mixed Martial Arts

Syndicate Mixed Martial Arts was founded by John Wood, a coach with over two decades of experience developing fighters at every level of the sport. Based in Las Vegas, the academy reflects Wood’s belief that a true team is built on unity and shared purpose. Over the years, he’s worked with UFC champions and contenders including Merab Dvalishvili, Khalil Rountree, Kody Steele, Nicco Montaño, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, and Sean Strickland. Wood’s reputation comes from his calm coaching style, tactical approach, and a track record of guiding athletes through key moments in their careers. Training at Syndicate covers far more than just professional MMA. The gym offers a deep schedule for adults, with classes in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (primarily no-gi), wrestling, striking, and MMA fundamentals. BJJ classes are led by experienced coaches and include both introductory and all-levels formats, as well as open mat and controlled sparring sessions. Striking classes progress from beginner to advanced, focusing on Muay Thai and practical stand-up skills, while wrestling is taught by dedicated staff with a strong grappling background. MMA fundamentals tie these disciplines together for those looking to develop a complete skill set. The academy welcomes adult drop-ins for most classes, making it accessible for visitors and locals alike. Syndicate’s environment is shaped by the values of teamwork, daily improvement, and mutual support—core ideas that run through every class and training session. Whether someone is aiming for a professional career or just looking to sharpen their skills, the gym’s structure and coaching pedigree provide a solid foundation for growth.
