KD MMA Mixed Martial Arts Academy

KD MMA operates as a multidisciplinary combat sports training academy in Glendale, California. Founded by head coach and WEC veteran Karen Darabedyan, who competed across WEC, Strikeforce, and regional cards and developed his grappling foundations at Hayastan MMA Academy under Gokor Chivichyan, the facility offers structured martial arts programs across eight disciplines. Instruction encompasses Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, wrestling, judo, boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, mixed martial arts, and Kajukenbo. Training accommodates practitioners of all skill levels, with dedicated tracks for adults, women-only BJJ sessions, and youth martial arts programs. The academy provides tiered ladder pricing that unlocks training across disciplines and affiliated branches, supported by mat-side cameras for technical review. Prospective students can schedule an introductory free trial class without placing a card on file.
