Six months ago, Adrian and Colleen Luna opened LOBO MMA, mixed martial arts academy, for adults, teens and children. Located at 187 Route 94 in the Fountain Mall, Blairstown Adrian has been teaching mixed martial arts since 2008.
They offer professional mixed martial arts, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which is martial arts based on grappling and fighting, focusing on the skill of controlling one’s opponent through techniques that force him or her to submit. Some people learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for a physical fitness work out. Some train for competitive matches held throughout the year. Children’s classes in Jui Jitsu are offered.
“This is a great work out for couples, the couple who train together stay together” Luna remarks.
The couple met during their teens when they were learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Pure Mixed Martial Arts in Denville from Andrew and Michael Main. They developed a lasting friendship training and competing together and eventually married and purchased a home in Blairstown.
“This community has been so supportive; they love the mom-and-pop shops and word of mouth has helped us build this business.” Colleen Luna said enthusiastically.
LOBO MMA offers self-defense training for men, women, and children. They work hard to maintain a safe, ego-free environment where students from all backgrounds can train with confidence.
“When I was a kid, I got beat up a lot. One time, five kids ganged up on me, held me down and took my lunch money. I went home with a black eye. That’s when my parents signed me up for Taekwondo. I got my black belt at 12 years old and started practicing mixed martial arts. It has always been my passion to someday open my own place.” Luna said.
LOBO MMA offers Kickboxing. This training provides a comfortable environment where students can learn how to defend themselves and tone up.
They have Yoga classes with Kate and Karate classes with Mike. For December they are offering new members a free month of Kickboxing.

Whether your goal is to take on self-defense skills, fitness training, or long-lasting character development for you or your child, LOBO MMA can set you on the right path.

My name is Marybeth Journe, I feel blessed to be living in this part of New Jersey. I have enjoyed this community taking advantage of the lakes and woods. Always supporting the local businesses that make this my home. As a local artist myself, I know many of our residence if not by name, at least by sight. I feel comfortable interviewing others. I have worked for The Paulinskill Valley Chronical where I provided articles, photographs and billing. I consider myself an artist, journalist, naturalist, gardener and a teacher for the YMCA Camp Mason. I look forward to the work ahead
