The Best Instruction. The Best Facilities. The Best Prices.


Efficient. Intense. Effective.

There are three words to describe NAC-MMA Combat Sports Training by Jim McCann.

Jim McCann knows the inside. Few people are actually qualified and capable of really teaching the variety of programs that he can. He is one of the most sought after instructors in the world and has been teaching for over twenty-five years. Jim has been called one of the most knowledgeable, pragmatic, innovative and user-friendly experts in the business.

Jim is fully endorsed by three of the world’s most prominent martial artists:
Hock Hochheim, Mark Hatmaker & Tim Tackett.

Jim tested his skills competitively in a variety of competitions and venues for more then a decade having fought in both sanctioned and unsanctioned fights (underground fights) as well as participating in thousands of rounds of full contact sparring. Through the years he has trained with and interfaced with many of the world’s top martial artists, police and military personnel and worked security at a premier nightclub in NJ body guarding some of the music industry's most popular artists. As a result he was forced to use his martial arts on a daily basis being involved in hundreds of altercations through the years involving everything from weapons to multiple opponents giving him a real world perspective on what works.
