Welcome to the BEDROC MMA Homepage!

The Mixed Martial Arts culture has exploded into one of the fastest growing sports in the World. But Mixed Martial Arts is nothing new for BEDROC Martial Arts. Sensei John Farrar has mastered several forms of martial arts and provides the expert instruction needed to succeed in the sport. BEDROC Martial Arts does not just "Say" we are the "Best", we prove it! We prove it where it counts, through our Competition Record. BEDROC proves it is the most successful competitive school in the area at every event we attend. We host our own grappling events, and have produced multiple American and Canadian National and Jr. Olympic Judo Champions every year since 2002. Although we believe the success of an Academy is shown through the accomplishments of it Students, our Judo Instructors include Jr. and Sr. National Champions as well as AMCAN and Pan American Masters Champions. Our MMA Instructors include actual active Pro Fighters and a former MMA Cruiser Weight Title Belt Holder. Our Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Instructors have been at the Top of the Podium at the Pan American "No Gi" Jiu Jitsu Championships, the Rio Open and the Srs. & Masters Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil so they understand how to "Make it Happen". BEDROC is the only MMA school in this area that houses 3 Judo Blackbelts and 2 Brazilian Jiu jitsu International Champions. We are also recognized by the IBJJF, the National Governing Body for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, as having an authentic BJJ Program and an Officially Recognized Ranking system in place.
