Our mission.
Our goal at Hybrid Martial Arts is to help positively change the lives our students and our community through Martial Arts, self-development education, and coaching. Coaching is done one person at a time and through developing a connection with our students. We will strive to provide a safe, encouraging, and welcoming environment where students and families can come to train and grow into the best versions of themselves.
We strongly believe Martial Arts can be for everyone, regardless of their age, gender, experience, or fitness levels. As long as they are willing to learn and train in a positive environment, we are willing to provide the space and instruction for them. Our mission is to help our students learn practical self-defense and martial arts training, grow both physically and mentally, and thrive both on and off the mat.
HYBRID MARTIAL ARTS
HMA’s training curriculum is a blend of mixed martial arts and pulls from some of the best of several martial arts styles. Every training session is optimized to improve your life and help you become a better version of yourself. Our curriculum focuses on kickboxing, practical self-defense, krav maga, ground-defense, and sparring. You will notice traditional martial arts elements in every class mixed with modern drills and coaching. Every class is designed to help you increase your physical skills, mental intelligence, and emotional strength. We look forward to serving you and can’t wait to be a part of you and your family’s successful journey in the martial arts.
OUR STORY AND OUR TEAM
Hybrid Martial Arts was started by owners Lauren LaMaestra and Josh Sivel. Lauren and Josh both share a passion for martial arts and both met while they were teenagers training on the mat! Both of them hold 3rd Degree Black Belts in Mixed Martial Arts and have trained for the last 10 years. Fueled by a passion for training and helping others, both Lauren and Josh decided they wanted to do more with their martial arts training and wanted to help serve the Williamstown community, which led them to opening their own dojo in Williamstown in 2025.
