A Bangalore-Born Movement of Strength, Discipline & Community

Honour MMA was founded in Indiranagar, Bangalore, with a clear mission: to create a world-class martial arts academy that blends international-standard training with the timeless values that define India. In a country where strength of character is celebrated as much as strength of body, Honour MMA represents a new generation of training - one that develops discipline, confidence, resilience, and respect both on and off the mats.

The name “Honour” is inspired by India’s cultural DNA. From ancient epics like the Mahabharata to modern day values, the idea of honour - izzat, maryada, samman - has always shaped who we are. At Honour MMA, these values form our foundation. Every class, every drill, every interaction reinforces the principles our culture holds close:

  • Integrity and Respect for coaches, training partners, and oneself
  • Perseverance (Dhairya) to push through challenges
  • Discipline (Anushasan) to build lifelong habits
  • Community (Sangha) where students grow together, not alone

Honour MMA began with the belief that martial arts can transform lives. Whether someone is looking to get fitter, learn real self-defence, compete professionally, or simply build mental strength, we provide an environment that is safe, structured, and empowering. Our training programs include MMA, Boxing, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Combat Jiu-Jitsu, and Strength & Conditioning, each delivered by specialised coaches with deep experience.

At the heart of the academy is a commitment to accessibility. We welcome children, adults, beginners, and seasoned fighters, creating a welcoming space where everyone - from working professionals to students, parents, athletes, and first-timers - feels valued and supported. In a fast-paced city like Bangalore, where stress and pressure are part of daily life, Honour MMA has become a sanctuary where people can sharpen their minds, strengthen their bodies, and build resilience through structured martial arts training.

What sets Honor MMA apart is not just the quality of coaching, but the philosophy behind it. We believe martial arts is not merely a sport - it is a way of living. Training teaches humility, self-control, confidence, and mastery over one’s emotions. Students learn how to stay calm under pressure, develop sharper focus, and carry themselves with dignity in every situation. These are life skills that extend far beyond the mats.

As a brand built in Bangalore, we are proud to represent the spirit of this city - dynamic, ambitious, multicultural, and forward-thinking. Honour MMA reflects this identity: premium yet inclusive, modern yet grounded, tough yet respectful. Our academy has become a growing community of individuals who motivate each other, celebrate progress, and uphold the tradition of martial arts with pride.

Whether you are seeking fitness, self-defence, mental discipline, professional training, or a positive community, Honour MMA is a place where you can discover your potential and redefine your limits. We stand for strength, character, and the belief that every individual - regardless of age or experience - has the ability to transform themselves.

Welcome to Honour MMA.

Train with discipline. Fight with purpose. Live with honour.
