Our Mission

About Us

A small, personal MMA gym where respect, hard training, team spirit and technical development are at the core.

Team van der Geest MMA is a small, personal MMA gym where respect, hard training, team spirit and technical development are at the core of everything we do.

We believe that people improve together. That is why we train without ego, but with discipline, effort and respect. Everyone starts at their own level, but we all work toward the same goal: to grow, learn and become stronger, both physically and mentally.

At our gym, everything is built around real MMA. We do not train separate combat sports without context. Every part of our training is connected to mixed martial arts.

In grappling, we always take strikes into account. You learn how to control positions on the ground while staying safe when strikes are involved.

In striking, we always take takedowns into account. You learn how to strike, kick and move with the awareness that someone can grab you or take you down.

Our wrestling is also trained specifically for MMA, with focus on pressure, defense, standing back up, control and working against the cage.

With years of experience at the highest level of MMA, we know what it takes to improve, develop and prepare seriously for competition. For competitive fighters, Team van der Geest MMA offers technical depth, focused coaching and training with a clear performance mindset.

Whether you are a beginner, want to become fitter and more confident, or you are a fighter looking to take serious steps forward, Team van der Geest MMA gives you an environment where technique, respect and growth come first.
