MMA Personal Trainer Certification Course

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.


Modern mixed martial arts competition emerged in American popular culture in 1993 with the founding of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Originally organized with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real unarmed combat situations, competitors of various arts were pitted against one another with minimal rules for safety.

In the following decade, MMA promoters adopted many additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote mainstream acceptance of the sport. The name mixed martial arts was coined by one of the developers of these rules, Jeff Blatnick, a former Greco-Roman wrestler and Olympic gold medalist. Following these changes, the sport has seen increased popularity with pay per view reach rivaling boxing and professional wrestling.



As a result of an increased number of competitors, organized training camps, information sharing, and modern kinesiology, the understanding of the combat-effectiveness of various strategies has been greatly improved. UFC commentator Joe Rogan has claimed that martial arts have evolved more in the ten years following 1993 than in the preceding 700 years.

PROPTA "The Private Trainers Association" is the first and only certification agency in the world to offer an MMA certification course for MMA Professionals to get certified and teach the art. Professional athletes have to find a source of income in the field they like best. This is the only one of its kind.

Ken Yasuda IFBB PRO Bodybuilder "Mr. Japan" and Professional MMA Coach fighter is the leading senior PROPTA Director that will be heading this course of study.


Ken Yasuda has trained and coached many UFC and MMA Fighters, Pride, K1, IFL among many top professional fighters worldwide. Ken's practical seminars are among the best in the industry.

Fitness workers held about 235,000 jobs in 2006. Almost all personal trainers and group exercise instructors worked in physical fitness facilities, health clubs, and fitness centers, mainly in the amusement and recreation industry or in civic and social organizations. About 8 percent of fitness workers were self-employed; many of these were personal trainers, while others were group fitness instructors working on a contract basis with fitness centers. Many fitness jobs are part time, and many workers hold multiple jobs, teaching or doing personal training at several different fitness centers and at clients’ homes but very few have the knowledge in nutrition and food application.

Dietitians and nutritionists advise individuals on improving and maintaining their health, like fitness workers do.
