With the arrival of 2008 brought with it the formation of Elite M.M.A. Center. A new martial arts school that teaches three ranges:
Standing
Clinches
Ground fighting
Within the disciplines of Brazilian Jujitsu, Jujitsu, Ninjitsu, Karate, Aikido, Grappling and Kickboxing.
Even though Elite M.M.A. Center is a mixed martial art, we still maintain the traditional martial arts through our advanced weapons . and self-defenses.
Our philosophy of martial arts is to promote the warrior spirit of discipline, self-control, focus, determination, consideration and respect while bringing the values of family to the forefront. Elite M.M.A. Center is a family based school with over 25 years of martial arts experience, with which to help enrich the minds and hearts of our students.
Martial arts is not just the art of self-defense, but the ability to bring what is inside out. To develop within its students the qualities of a true Martial Artist, then to bring those attributes into everyday lives. We at Elite M.M.A. Center promise to cultivate these traits to create a well-rounded individual, who will have the ability to handle the challenges of each new day!
Endurance and Loyalty comes from the heart, Intensity and Technique comes from the mind and Energy comes from the soul.
"You will have the ability to face any obstacle if you put your heart, mind and soul into it!"

2019 WORLD KARATE UNION - HALL OF FAME
Information regarding the World Karate Union Hall of Fame:
Elite M.M.A. Center attended a W.K.U. tournament in 2014, due to the preparedness and respect of Elite's students. The World Karate Union invited Elite M.M.A. Center to become part of this organization. Shihan Ralph Orobono was honored to bring our program into this prestigious group.​
The World Karate Union has members from around the world. They sponsor tournaments through-out the year promoting excellence in martial arts through training and competition.
The World Karate Union believes in giving back to the community and hosts an annual Toys for Tots Karate Tournament every year since 2011 and has raised over $20,000 in that time to give away to charity.
In 2014, The Kathi Tasetano Memorial Scholarship was set up to award two $500 for a boy and girl black belt in the 15–17-year-old division at the WKU tournament every year since her passing.
The WKU is only as strong as its members and continues to grow!
