Professor Mikyo Riggs

A Marin County native, Mikyo Riggs first earned a second-degree black belt in freestyle Mixed Martial Arts. He then earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the legendary Brazilian mixed martial artist, Ralph Gracie. Mikyo has won several competitions in Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing and has been sparring partners for top professional MMA fighters. Mikyo opened Marin MMA in 2006 to spread what he had learned in his storied career and pass it down to a new generation of martial artists.

Marin Mixed Martial Arts opened its doors in San Anselmo, California in 2005. Upon opening, MarinMMA quickly changed the Gracie Jiu Jitsu landscape in Marin County, as well as throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

To know the history of Marin MMA is to understand the martial arts career and vision of its founder Mikyo Riggs. Mikyo Riggs began his Martial Arts career in 1990 and quickly realized that Martial arts was going to be a way of life for him. He earned his first Black belt in a freestyle Martial Art when the world of Mixed Martial Arts was still in its infancy. He went on to immerse himself in multiple styles such as; boxing, Muay Thai, MMA, Enshin Karate, and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, eventually earning his black belt from one of the toughest Jiu-Jitsu academies in the world.

Mikyo soon realized that winning competitions, while rewarding, was not all that he longed for. He wanted to pass on his knowledge and allow others to realize how mentally and physically rewarding Martial Arts can be, so he opened his own school – MarinMMA.
