North Georgia Hayastan MMA Academy teaches a freestyle system of fighting and mixed martial arts based on combative arts such as Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Sambo, Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, Muay Thai Kickboxing, American Kickboxing, and Boxing. The academy is founded on concepts used for self-defense and competition.
The academy is owned by Leonardo Lechuga. North Georgia Hayastan has established a young and determined competition team of all ages, with several champions from submission grappling tournaments, boxing tournaments, and MMA promotions. We also have a talented group of individuals entering their MMA careers.
We teach under the Hayastan Freestyle Fighting System, founded by Gene LeBell and Gokor Chyvichyan, as well as the American Federation of Freestyle Jiu-Jitsu. Our focus is to help anyone seeking to learn martial arts achieve their goal — whether that is to reduce stress with exercise, learn real self-defense for themselves or their family, or to compete for recreation or a career.
The academy was started in Dalton, Georgia in 2008 and is now located in a state-of-the-art, 7,100-square-foot facility at 416 S Glenwood Ave, Dalton, GA 30720. The facility features a full MMA Octagon, a professional-size boxing ring, professional fitness and training equipment, changing rooms, showers, heavy bags, speed bags, free weights, and a pro shop.
We are pleased to serve the Dalton community and look forward to helping anyone — men, women, children, and families — increase their self-confidence, self-esteem, and fitness, and meet their competition goals.
