PEORIA, AZ, May 30, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- West Valley gym owners Jeff Paulson and Chip Kirk have not only successfully transformed Siege MMA into the largest mixed martial arts training facility in Peoria, it is now the training center of choice for elite athletes and MMA enthusiasts across the valley. Paulson, previously of AP Fighting and Kirk of Siege MMA both shared a common goal, to expand to a larger facility and offer the best mixed martial arts training in the Valley. Together they did just that. Siege MMA has recently moved to a new, much larger location, and with over 20 years of mixed martial arts experience between them, they immediately attracted top-notch instructors and continue to gain loyal members.

The new state-of-the-art facility, located in Suite 110 at 9802 N. 91st Ave in Peoria, boasts over 8,000 square feet of training area, including 2,000 square feet of grappling and striking mat space, a full size boxing/MMA ring, a competition octagon for MMA training and top of the line cardio and conditioning equipment. Siege MMA offers the very best in mixed martial arts training.

"We welcome all skill levels, including individuals that have never trained in mixed martial arts before. It's not only a fast and effective way to lose weight and get in shape, our students also gain very valuable self-defense skills. We teach students at all skill levels, including professional athletes training to win state and national level championships for Jui Jitsu, Wrestling, Judo and MMA," states Jeff Paulson, Co-Owner and instructor at Siege MMA.

Chip Kirk, also a Co-Owner of Siege MMA, had this to add, "At Siege MMA we also cater to MMA fighters at the professional level. Our instructors help them prepare for upcoming fights by helping them perfect the skills needed to dominate opponents and move up in rank, from local MMA events to UFC level fights. There are several professional fighters currently training at Siege, such as UFC Veteran Joe "Diesel" Riggs who will face Phil Baroni at the Strikeforce event on June 6th and Steve Eldridge who will take on Robert Sarkozi for the Gladiator Challenge Middle Weight belt on May 30th. Siege MMA is quickly becoming the training center of choice for both elite fighters and MMA enthusiasts."

A superior team of instructors, all experts in their respective discipline, teach men, women and children of all skill levels, from beginners to professional competitors. Siege MMA members have the unique opportunity to train along side, and occasionally with, professional MMA fighters that routinely train at the facility. Members also have access to Siege MMA training clinics offered throughout the year, hosted by MMA superstars such as Dan Severn, Dan Henderson, Soukoudjo, Krzysztof Soszynski and many others.
