GRAPPLING, PANKRATION AND AMATEUR MMA FEDERATION OF ARMENIA

Official representative of UWW Grappling, Pankration and Amateur MMA in Armenia

ABOUT THE FEDERATION

We are the first and only organization in Armenia to develop Grappling and Pankration on an official national level.
Our federation was founded with the vision to bring these modern and ancient martial arts together under international standards, ensuring that Armenian athletes receive the recognition and opportunities they deserve on the world stage.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to develop and promote Grappling, Pankration, and Amateur MMA throughout Armenia.
We work to unite athletes, clubs, and coaches under global standards, helping them grow stronger, healthier, and more competitive internationally.
We aim to expand these disciplines not only in the capital but also across the regions of Armenia — inspiring young generations and building a culture of discipline, respect, and excellence through combat sports.
We are a national sports organization recognized by the United World Wrestling (UWW), leading the development of Grappling, Pankration, and Amateur MMA in Armenia.
Since our establishment in 2020, we have built a professional system of competitions, education, and athlete development.
Our activities are supported by partnerships with national sports authorities, local clubs, and international organizations.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

When we established this federation, our dream was simple — to give Armenian athletes a home where they could grow, learn, and stand proudly on international mats under our flag.


We started with nothing but belief — belief in discipline, teamwork, and the power of sport to transform lives.


Today, we are united as one community — athletes, coaches, referees, and supporters — all working for the same goal: to make Armenia stronger through combat sports.

Our journey has just begun, and we will continue to raise new champions, open new clubs, and carry our flag to the world stage with honor.
