Catholic University of America
Cardinal Combat is a student-led society that aims to provide an opportunity to learn Mixed Martial Arts in an environment of healthy competition and high safety standards. We seek to help students improve their physical capabilities, learn about the beauty of martial arts, and develop confidence in stressful situations. “Show me another sport, where a 120-pounder can be a campus hero." - Edmund "Eddie" LaFond. We embrace this quote from LaFond, the former coach of CUA's once-undefeated boxing team and stand by the belief that anyone can succeed in martial arts, regardless of physical ability, stature, weight, gender, background, or any other characteristic.
