“Hi. My name is Melinda, and I'm a MMA enthusiast and hobbyist who has been training since 2024. I am passionate about creating a safe space for women and children o train and grow in the art of submission grappling and MMA. My goal is to help my coaches modernize combat sports and teach others how to be a warrior in the garden.

I know Coach Adam and Coach Croom through the local MMA Community, and over time built an amazing trust in them as coaches. Both helped me feel heard in a sport that can be challenging or scary for women, and I appreciate being a part of their effort to make positive changes and add to the local MMA Community here in the greater Kansas City area.”
