Milton Arguello

Milton "The Diamond" Arguello is the Head Instructor and Founder of MAMMA Academy. Milton began his training in American Tang Soo Do over 16 years ago, at the young age of 10. After receiving his Black Belt under Master Aaron Lawrence, Milton found his passion in American Kickboxing. Milton competed in numerous "smoker" bouts, eventually receiving his Black Sash in the art. At age 15, he began studying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Pat King and received his yellow belt under the legendary Royce Gracie. Jiu-Jitsu took over his love for martial arts, and he would go on to spend the next 3 years focusing on the art. During this time, he fought in his first MMA bout at age 16. Transitioning over to solely focus on No-Gi BJJ, Milton would go on to compete nearly every month until he was 18. Searching for his next challenge, Milton decided to pursue a career in MMA— and it wasn’t long until he fought his first sanctioned amateur MMA bout a year later, at age 19. By age 22, Milton turned pro, collecting numerous MMA fights under his belt, in addition to a Kickboxing bout. Milton now spends his time sharing his vast knowledge and years of experience to his students, developing and preparing his fighters for their respective competitions or goals!
