Ever dreamed of sparring with a professional cage-fighter? A unique experience will be offered in Bermuda for the very first time – an opportunity to train with a world-class Mixed Martial Artist.
UFC legend and former TKO Featherweight champion Mark “The Machine” Hominick is the featured fighter for island’s first MMA Retreat Weekend. This event is hosted by a new Bermudian company: Bermuda Combat Club Ltd. (BCC), the country’s only home for training effective styles for Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), namely Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Boxing, Self Defense and more.
Their inaugural event will take place April 3rd, 4th and 5th this year at Crossfit BDA and in the form of a retreat weekend geared towards individuals who are interested in doing something new involving fitness, health and wellness, as well as those who may already be athletes or fighters. This opportunity of training with an elite athlete is combined with experiencing all that Bermuda has to offer.
On April 6th, Mark Hominick will be giving an inspirational speech at Cedarbridge Academy to school staff and leaders as well as at-risk youth regarding ant-social behavior.
Bermudian entrepreneur and BCC Director & CEO, Mark Prior explained the importance this initiative.
“As a Bermudian, I am proud to be able to bring new, exiting ideas to my country that not only suits my passion for Martial Arts, but fits well with what the Bermuda Tourism Authority highlighted in their Tourism Summit in January,” he continued. “We are bringing a new era of training to Bermuda that is inclusive to every one of all fitness levels, athletic and combative ability. As pioneers in bringing the MMA industry to Bermuda, we value fostering and promoting local talent. We strongly believe that locals should not have to leave Bermuda to participate in their health, fitness and combative sport goals.”
Mark Hominick is very excited to come to Bermuda and is promoting the event abroad, showing the top quality of our featured sponsors as part of a destination package.
