In 2010 The Grappling Experience launched its amateur mixed martial arts program, The Amateur Experience.  Amateur mixed martial arts is a medium for athletes to test their skills in the cage under a strict set of guidelines put in place for the fighter’s safety.  Since amateur MMA was sanctioned in California in 2009 Grappling-X has been the leader in providing a safe and professional environment for combat athletes and their supporters.  Grappling-X has received accolades from fighters, fans and even CAMO the sanctioning body for amateur MMA in California.  The Amateur Experience will be expanding in 2011 and beyond with more events in more cities.
