KD MMA is a multi-discipline combat academy spanning three Los Angeles locations, founded by pro MMA fighter Karen Darabedyan, who trained under Gokor Chivichyan at Hayastan MMA Academy. Rather than a franchise, KD MMA is independently owned and operated, teaching Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, judo, wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and MMA to students from age three through professional athletes. Classes span beginner through advanced to competition levels, with private training from black belt instructors available for serious athletes.
