The most credible MMA training on the KZN North Coast — coached directly by 2× EFC World Champion Amanda "Maddog" Lino. Striking, grappling, and fight-ready conditioning for complete beginners through to competitive fighters.
Maddog Performance Institute offers the most credible and complete MMA training programme on the KZN North Coast. Under the direct coaching of Amanda "Maddog" Lino — a 2× EFC World Champion and IMMAF Amateur World Champion — you will develop striking, grappling, takedown defence, and the physical and mental conditioning to back it all up.
MMA is one of the most complete forms of physical training available — combining striking, grappling and conditioning into a single system. Here's what consistent training actually builds, beyond the sport itself.
Every MMA class at Maddog is led under the direct coaching standard of Amanda "Maddog" Lino — not a franchised curriculum, not a hired instructor reading from a manual. Real competitive experience, taught first-hand.
MMA runs across the week for every level, from beginner fundamentals through to Pro / Fight Team sessions. See the full class timetable for BJJ, Kickboxing and every other discipline on our Training hub.
MMA classes at Maddog aren't separate from our competitive programme — they're the same training ground. Our fight team competes across IMMAF, MFC, VERSUS and amateur platforms, all coached under the same system you'll train in from day one. You never have to compete, but if you want to, the pathway is already here.
