A unique and groundbreaking project for the world of MMA is nearing its final developmental stages in Northern Ireland. The project will see an MMA Centre of Excellence established in one of the most deprived areas in the country as part of a wider community development plan under Belfast City Council: The centre is to be built in Belfast, in a former library in St. Thomas’ secondary school on Whiterock Road.
The purpose of the MMA Centre of Excellence is not only to produce champions within the sport, but also to provide a conduit for the development of youth potential in all aspects of participants’ lives.
