"[My son] is much better suited to succeed in life having had part of his life's journey stop at MMA."
“我们为综合格斗感到非常自豪,也为我们的孩子们在那里获得的基础感到自豪. 2000年和2003年分别从海军军事学院毕业, respectively, 他们都在南卡罗来纳城堡军事学院完成了学业. Matthew graduated in May of 2007 from their civil engineering program and is working for a top-notch company! Nicholas graduated from the Citadel School of Business Administration and is also working his way up the career ladder, and doing it very quickly! 我们为我们的儿子和他们在综合格斗的根基感到非常自豪. Chase and I continue to recommend parents to send their boys there because we know the value of it."
— Chase and Jacklyn Lang
"Dear Sgt J, It goes beyond belief what you and SGM Wilson did to encourage my son and lead him toward the right path in life. My wife and I are eternally grateful. I will never forget when I brought Marty to MMA and told SGM Wilson that Marty was lucky to graduate from Pittsfield High School. 他的成绩勉强过得去,出勤率也不是很好. SGM Wilson告诉我不要担心,他会磨练他的. 现在马蒂被选为九月最佳学员成绩是3分.8 GPA at The Citadel. He is also vice president of their honor society. None of this could ever have happened without the guidance that you and SGM Wilson showed my son. God bless MMA."
—Art Butler, MSG USA(RET)
"Dissatisfied with our son’s current school, 我和他妈妈做了一些调查,登陆了海军军事学院的网站. 这是我们第一次看到他的巨大潜力. We were thoroughly impressed with its promise of aiding young men in reaching their full potential, its emphasis on Marine Corps values and its excellent reputation for producing college-ready young men, 所以我们安排了一次校园参观,结果完全被震撼了.
教职员工散发出专业精神和目标的严肃性. We found them sincere and encouraging in setting expectations that ensured the school was a good fit for him.
In short, the results we were looking for were immediate and have surpassed what we hoped for him — so much so that we enrolled our youngest son, as well, 这样他就能有同样的机会和一生难得的经历. MMA has been a blessing for our family."
— Tony and Trudy Hubbard
"We first looked at MMA for Logan because he was not being challenged enough in public school. 当他作为一名新生来到综合格斗学院时,他受到了超出我们预期的挑战. 现在,作为一名大二学生,他所经历的比任何一所公立学校的大四学生都要多. 他将在3月份开始飞行并拿到他的TDL(德州驾照), as well as his Eagle Scout in May. 综合格斗拓展了洛根的视野,超出了我们所有人的预期. It is hard to let go, but once you do, your child soars!"
— Ms. Kelley K. Workman
"I understand that successful individuals and leaders are not born; they are developed and shaped through their environment and their interactions with those around them. 成为一个能做决定的领导者或道德坚强的人, one must have a solid academic background, 积极的榜样和有纪律的有组织的环境, if needed.
我12岁的儿子在开始参加综合格斗时没有上述任何一项. 他在公立学校上学,没有受到挑战,事情失去了控制. Against his wishes, I enrolled him in summer camp and after a few weeks, he didn’t want to leave. 第二年,他回到营地,然后选择在那里开始上学.
我的儿子即将从综合格斗毕业,我为他和他所取得的成就感到骄傲. He is not the same individual. He now has goals, confidence, respect for himself and others, 正直,愿意尽自己所能做到最好."
— Colleen Carlton Dunn
"My son was 12, 他对现在的学校不满意,而海军陆战队对综合格斗的重视对他有很大的吸引力. 我们决定让他第二年在那里开始上学.
Today, he's a senior and there have been no regrets; we would not change a thing. 他学到了一些宝贵的人生经验,比如责任感, not only for himself, but also for his fellow cadets, 以及有效的领导和时间管理技能.
Additionally, there is a strong mentorship on campus. di和其他关键人员成为代理父母, a critical role and one that we value greatly. They see the ups and downs, resolve conflict, 当我们不能在他身边时,为他加油;当他半夜生病时,照顾他. 这段关系中有一种信任和真正的纽带. Our son has been at MMA for five years, and his admiration, trust, 对这些好人的尊重和爱使他成为他将要成为的人."
— Mrs. Joan K. McGraw
"On my son Drew’s first day, he shared his aspirations of becoming a Cadet Battalion Commander with Gunny Martinez who said, "Well, we'll see what you’ve got."
Four years later, he graduated as Battalion Commander, as well as valedictorian, president of numerous organizations, Eagle Scout, varsity wrestler, private pilot, SCUBA certified and with other awards and accolades, but he didn't get there on his own. 甘尼相信我儿子,并确保他相信自己. He put him in positions to learn, fail, succeed and lead and, ultimately, helped him become a man.
Additionally, Drew was courted by the school of his choice — the Coast Guard Academy — which happens to be the hardest school in the nation to get into, statistically.
谢谢你给我的年轻人提供的机会. 他更适合在生活中取得成功,因为他的人生旅程中有一部分停留在MMA."
— Bill Hasbrook

"Thanks to MMA, I am where I am today — a powerful, positive asset for a successful company who is able to give back to the institution that gave so much to me. Upon graduation from my local high school, 我的下一个目标是被海军学院录取并毕业. However, I found myself lacking the skills and knowledge needed to be considered a solid candidate. 就在那时,一位家庭朋友告诉我MMA的研究生课程...and the rest is history!
The education and experience I gained in one year at MMA made a huge difference in my career pathway. 我学到了在大学和生活中取得成功所必需的技能和技巧, gained acceptance to, and completed my education at, the Naval Academy, served our country and returned home to work my way up the corporate ladder to where I am today, a leader and executive of The McIntyre Group, 学院特许学校基金会主席, and Board Trustee of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association and Marine Military Academy’s Board.
I wholeheartedly endorse MMA’s Postgraduate Program for any young man who is up to MMA’s tough academic, physical and moral challenge!"
—Thomas Kolongowski, Class of 1982
"My personal experience at MMA was incredibly rewarding, but even more intriguing in my mind, was that of my family. My older brother (Class of 2003), myself ('05), 我和我的弟弟(2009年出生)在高中的最后三年都参加了综合格斗. 虽然我当时没有意识到,但我们每个人都有不同的原因.
More than one of us needed to build confidence, another needed to learn social structure, and we all needed to learn leadership. MMA taught all of us exactly what we needed it to.
It starts with learning how to lead ourselves. 我不认为这是一个可以掉以轻心的教训,综合格斗确保我们掌握了它. Then, and only then, are we able to lead others. Although I didn't want to admit it until years later, it was immediately apparent to my friends, coworkers, family members, and yes, even myself, that MMA was shaping me for the better. I'm not aware of another school that would have molded me or my brothers into better people than this one. All three of us are now leaders in completely different arenas and know that we couldn't have done it as easily or quickly had we not spent that time at MMA."
—Scott Miller, Class of 2005
"I have incredibly fond memories of my time and experiences at the Marine Military Academy and cannot fully explain all of the ways that it impacted, and continues to impact, my life. 我在综合格斗中度过了最重要的五年,从很多方面来说,我都是在那里长大的.
There is no doubt in my mind that the things that I learned at the MMA changed my life for the better. To this day, the way that I organize my time, operate in business and deal with my own family are all heavily influenced by the things and tools that I gained at MMA. I learned a lot about how to structure and manage my time and important lessons about leadership styles and how to apply them in different situations. Most importantly, 我获得了一种自信,这种自信持续存在,并继续在我的日常生活中打开大门. 我知道当我开始完成某件事时,我能做到. 推荐国内安全的网赌网站给了我这些,我很感激我在那里度过的每一天.
I would and do recommend it whenever possible and would not hesitate to send my own son there."

"On the surface, I wasn't quite acceptable for MMA standards going in, 但综合格斗总有办法透过表面来揭示你真正的年轻人. The discipline I experienced at MMA manifested itself into the self-discipline needed for college and eventually the starting of my own business, which has been succeeding since its inception in 1996. The experience stays with you."
— Joseph Bowman, Class of 1984
