About

Not an actual airline — a playful homage to the high altitude throws frequently practiced in our classes. Amsterdam Airlines offers complete MMA training: wrestling, striking and grappling — all under one roof at Airlines HQ.

Born from a passion for wrestling and takedowns, we have grown into a full MMA gym. We specialize in takedowns and top pressure — a takedown-heavy fighting style, completed with striking and grappling. All at our own facility, Airlines HQ.

What to Expect
▸ Basic & advanced techniques
▸ Warm-up, technique, sparring format
▸ Classes geared toward competitive martial artists
▸ Brotherhood & discipline on and off the mats

“My passion for sports started at the age of five when I started judo. More than 20 years later, this passion has branched out to other martial arts, weightlifting and sports science. I strive to guide combat athletes towards peak performance in the ring, octagon and on the mat.”

— Joris Rookhuijzen
Training Philosophy

We aim to develop a style that takes the best out of multiple martial arts — a new standard in grappling. A style that dictates the fight. A style that thrives in MMA and Grappling competitions and is accessible for both beginners and professional fighters.
