Torres Martial Arts Academy

Torres Martial Arts Academy in Hobart, Indiana, is built around a curriculum that blends traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with elements from freestyle, folkstyle, catch wrestling, judo, and MMA grappling. The class structure is designed to provide a progression from fundamentals to advanced competition training, supporting students from their very first class to tournament-level preparation. Alongside its Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program, the academy offers kickboxing classes that draw from American Kickboxing, Muay Thai, karate, tae kwon do, and boxing, creating a well-integrated approach to striking and grappling. The academy is led by Miguel Torres, a former WEC Bantamweight Champion with a black belt under Carlson Gracie Sr. Torres brings over 18 years of teaching experience and a professional fighting record that includes 44 wins, with significant time spent in organizations such as the UFC and GLORY. His coaching team also includes Marjorie Torres, who leads the women’s BJJ program, and instructors Damon Dawson and Josiah Ray, who handle kickboxing and BJJ classes. Torres’s focus is on helping students find both technical skill and personal growth through martial arts, drawing on his own experience training under highly regarded teams and mentors. Classes run seven days a week, with options for adults and kids in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing. The academy offers specific classes for women, as well as open mat sessions, competition training, and fundamentals courses. The facility features an MMA cage, Olympic weight rack, heavy bags, speed bags, and showers, supporting both recreational training and those pursuing competitive goals. Drop-ins are welcome, and the flexible schedule includes morning, evening, and night classes to accommodate a wide range of students.
