BlackMat MMA was founded in 2003 in a small garage in the city of Whittier, Ca. Since then we are now in a 1750 sq. ft. Gym located at 12200 East Washington Blvd, Suite J, Whittier, CA, 90606. We provide children and young adults both girls and boys a safe haven. A place where they could feel safe is treated with respect, honesty and dignity. A place where they can grow as a martial artist, but most importantly as human beings.

The Blackmat Foundation has finally moved out of the garage and into a new 1750 sq-ft location in the City of Whittier, 12200 East Washington Blvd, Whittier, Ca. 90606. After completing our first month we have had many new kids and young adults, ranging from 7 years old to 25 years old signing up.
