Fight Corps MMA

Having the Philippine Science High School System CAR students over for Valentine's Day was a blast! Looking forward to seeing you guys over again soon! Thank you to Sir Ace Aniceto for helping make this happen.

Helping build the Baguio MMA community since 2012.

As an advocate for Sustainable and Accessible Sports for the Youth, JD Balajadia and Nicholo Tabora, opened Fight Corps MMA in 2012 and started taking in 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 in 2013.

Scholarship was primarily given to kids who desire to study the discipline of martial arts, keeping them away from vices and bad crowds. They later on realized that teaching them equipped the kids with a means of making money thru fighting professionally which eventually led them to teaching in their own classes.

JD and Nicho 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗱, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲. Then later on, JD became the athletes manager, pro bono, exposing them to national and international fights.

The Enlists make weight! Catch Jared Almazan and Gerico Kiat-Ong in action tomorrow night at the Narvacan Park and Tourism Complex! See you there, HOOORAH!!!

Capping of this training camp with yesterday's last hard sparring. Time to trim down and fine tune as these Enlists go to war on May 4 at the 2025 Narvacan Fight Night. Enlists Jared Almazan will be headlining the event while Gerico Kiat-Ong will but under the supporting bouts.

Successful URCC debuts for the these next gen Enlists at the Dynasty Fight Club last March 11.

Frenzle Golocan started the night off, needing only 8 seconds to dispatch of his opponent via Knockout.

Gerico Kiat-Ong followed up the streak by dropping then tapping out his opponent in the second round.

We would like to thank those who helped and supported us in this fight, The Grappler Sportswear for their fight shorts, S&J Printing and other Services for the fight shorts prints and everyone who helped throughout fight camp.

Special mention to Lokal MMA for help with the photos.

On to the next, HOOORAH!!!

A job well done for these Enlists as they represented Team Baguio at the Philippine National Games. All of them competed and placed in their respective disciplines, Gerico Kiat-Ong got Gold in Wushu, Jake Tanggacan won Gold in Wrestling and Frenzle Golocan had a good outing but settled for Silver in Boxing. A great way to end 2023. Bigger and Greater things coming up this 2024.

Join us in wishing Dave "Kintas" Bangguigui and Carlos Alvarez the best of luck as they step into the ONE Championship cage at Friday Fights 43. The energy is electric, the stakes are high, and fight fans around the world are eagerly anticipating an unforgettable night of MMA action!
