Who We Are at
Paradigm MMA
Our School
We pride ourselves on finding the balance between working hard while not creating an overtly serious atmosphere. This has been the way co-owners Jesse and Izzy – the only female Black Belt in the area – have always wanted to train. They’ve reached great heights in martial arts while having fun and pushing themselves. And they are here to provide the community with the same experience. Students will be encouraged to reach different goals in fitness or competition as they progress in their journey. You can join to improve your health or learn how to compete with the best. Besides our training, we also make sure to gather together with fun holiday events, special club nights, and social gatherings. Come and get stuck in!
Our History
Head coach and co-owner Jesse Wallace has long dreamed of owning his own gym built around his ideology. He has wanted to show that you don’t need to follow martial arts tradition to help students reach their goals and enjoy training. Through his 16+ years of training and competing professionally (11-3 pro record) and as an amateur (16-4 amateur record), along with his 15+ years in the industry, he’s created a special martial arts school. Alongside him in this endeavor is coach and co-owner Izzy Arlott. Izzy has trained Brazilian Jiu Jitsu around the world for 11+ years, learning from some of the best. As the only female BJJ black belt in Middle Georgia, she’s passionate about getting more women on the mat. Her competitive experience in Gi and No-Gi in multiple divisions has helped her see different perspectives that she applies to both coaching and her own training. Together, Jesse and Izzy have built a gym unlike any other in Warner Robins.
