Troop MMA

Troop MMA teaches with a pragmatic, coach-first philosophy: technique is built from fundamentals, drilling is purposeful, and sparring is used to test specific skills rather than as open-ended chaos. That approach is visible in their class structure—technical rounds followed by positional sparring—so students repeatedly practice entries, escapes and transitions until they become reliable. The academy name Troop MMA anchors that philosophy to a cross-discipline curriculum that includes Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, kickboxing and MMA. Instruction is led by a small core of long-term coaches. Mitch Gagnon, listed as head instructor and owner, runs jiu jitsu, wrestling, MMA and kickboxing sessions and brings his professional fighting experience to the program. Richard “Monkey” Nancoo leads the jiu jitsu program as a black belt with over 25 years in competition and coaching, and Amber Nancoo runs the youth Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes; Amber’s background includes a judo black belt earned in 2000 and double gold performances at the Canadian Winter Games (1999) and Nationals (2000), plus certification as a teacher and early childhood educator. Troop MMA operates from 1351 E Kelly Lake Rd in Sudbury, ON P3E 5P5 and posts weekday and Saturday hours for its various programs on its site. The academy presents distinct tracks for adults and children so that class format and intensity match the students—youth sessions focus on safe repetition and basic movement while adult classes layer technique, drilling and controlled live training. Contact is available through the gym phone number published by the academy.
