Our Chief Instructor Shihan Alan D'Allessandro and Mr. Paul Lombardi one of our top black belts and an Auburn police officer are training directly under Jason DeLucia who is a veteran fighter of UFC1 & UFC2. Jason has fought some of the best UFC Fighters such as, Royce Gracie, Ken Shamrock and Bas Rutten to name a few.

This MMA / Hybrid Fighting training along with the 25 years of Kenpo background that Shihan D'Allessandro has and the years of formal grappling training, competition and practical experience that Officer Lombardi has makes New England Karate Academy one of the area's best locations for your MMA / Hybrid Fighting training.

MMA / Hybrid Fighting is a spectacular new style and sport designed to change the landscape of traditional karate and sport karate by encompassing all fighting ranges and techniques and combining dynamic punches and kicks with spectacular throws and submissions.

There are 2 levels of this dynamic new style. An amateur level and a professional level. The amateur level involves limited contact and competitors wear head gear and other safety equipment. The object of an amateur match is to demonstrate one's overall fighting skill and technique, rather then knock out their opponent. The amateur level allows fun and exciting competition with little or no risk of injury to the competitors.

The professional level involves full contact UFC style fighting. New England Karate Academy is focusing mainly on the amateur level. However, due to our relationship with Jason DeLucia, we can offer a path to professional competition for those who desire to pursue it.

Our MMA / Hybrid Fighting program is open to ages 13 to adult, both male and female students are welcome.
