About Us


The Mixed Martial Arts Association Of British Columbia was incorporated under the Society Act of the Province of British Columbia on April 13, 2010. MMABC is a NON PROFIT Amateur Sporting Association dedicated to the health, safety and welfare of Amateur Mixed Martial Artists.

MMABC works with athletes, coaches, gyms, event promoters and officials to foster a safe environment for the growth of Amateur Mixed Martial Arts in the Province of British Columbia.

The Mixed Martial Arts Association of British Columbia (MMABC) has structured a multi-tiered classification system that allows martial artists to start at a level of competition that is appropriate to them, and to elevate that level only when their abilities warrant doing so. This improves upon the current system of placing aspiring fighters directly into full-contact competitions under the same conditions as much more experienced professionals. Refer to the rules section for complete class breakdown and rule variations.
