Mata Leao Combat Sports has been Portland's home for martial arts since 2008. Founded and led by 4th-degree black belt Omar Santiago, our gym offers world-class instruction in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Wrestling, MMA, and Strength & Conditioning — for students of every age and experience level. Whether you're a complete beginner looking to get fit and learn self-defense, a parent searching for a positive youth program, or a competitor training to win, Mata Leao has a place for you. Our youngest students start as early as age 4 in our Tiny Ninjas program, and we carry that same focus on discipline, confidence, and community all the way through our adult classes. We're not just a gym — we're a family. Come try two weeks and feel the difference for yourself.
