Frequently Asked Questions


When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like - across any and all devices you own.
Do I need a medical background to take this course?
Previous medical training is awesome but not required for this course.
Do I need to have current CPR/First Aid training to take the Cutman/Cutwoman course?
No this isn't required. CPR/First aid are wonderful things for people to know because it might save someone's life someday but it isn't the proper training for this profession. In properly sanctioned events there are emergency medical personnel present for exactly this reason. You work as part of a much larger team and everyone has their scope of practice and specialty.
Is this an online course? I can't make it to Las Vegas.
Yes, this course is 100% online! We developed this course because not everyone can make it to Las Vegas for training. Even those who can still want this amazing reference library at their fingertips 24/7/365!
Will I get a certificate with this course?
Yes, as long as you score at least 90% on the final exam you'll receive your certification and be listed under our "Graduates" page so anyone can verify your credentials.

What Our Graduates Say

Swayze Valentine

I have had the great privilege to train under Adrian Tenacity Rosenbusch. When I began my career, I had no idea where to get training or information on how to become a Cutwoman. I did a lot on my own but I kept running into dead ends. I needed more, I needed someone to take me in and believe in me and my skills. Adrian did that. He took a chance. He believed in me. He was willing to take me under his wing and show me the cut side of the industry. Without his support and willingness to train me, it would have taken me many more years to achieve my goals and dreams. I am blessed to have met him and for him to have been my mentor.

His training methods taught me the ins and outs of the industry as a whole. He spends countless hours teaching every possible scenario in being a good Cutman/Cutwoman. Not only on how to properly wrap hands and treat cuts/swelling, but he also educates you about how the industry works. After his training course, you will leave with complete confidence in yourself as a Cutman/Cutwoman. He leaves no questions unanswered and doesn't hide any secret information. He works relentlessly for his students and he stands by importance of fighter safety more than anything. I am proud to call him not only my Mentor but a dear friend. Thank you Adrian for your continued support, and for always being there.

Rod Zilla Wingrove

Being in Vancouver BC Canada, it was next to impossible to find proper Cutman training. I tried studying the best on TV during live events, attended sparring sessions at local gyms, and looked into seminars, but none of it was enough to make me a legitimate, fight-ready Cutman.

Then I found Fight Business Academy. That really was the day my life changed. One month later I was in Las Vegas training under Adrian. He doesn't just show you how to do something, he shows you why you are doing it. The training literally turned me into a legitimate Cutman with the skills to work live shows.

Within 4 months of completing my training, I became the head Cutman for the biggest MMA promotion on the West coast of Canada. I am now an official Cutman for several other Promotions and 3 professional Boxers, and I am currently working with the athletic commission on regulating Cutmen. I went from not knowing how to wrap hands properly to getting requests by professional fighters as their personal hand wrapper.

Robert McMullin

I first met Adrian while I was working as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for Team Tompkins MMA in Las Vegas, at The Tapout Training Center. He is, without a doubt, one of the most experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate Cutmen in combat sports today, a leader in our field! The passion he has for his art carries over to his teaching, as he is the most dedicated teacher I've ever met. His students have excelled at their craft and are being rewarded for their hard work; working bigger and better events, landing better sponsors, doing interviews for combat sports publications, and just having more professionalism in our sport.

Fight Business Academy has been instrumental in my rapid climb through the Cutman ranks. Adrian puts his heart into his students and is always willing to spend time to make sure you understand the material, or concept, before moving on. He is one of the few who actually believe it's important to help teach other colleagues in the field. Adrian from Fight Business Academy is a veteran in combat sports. He has compiled years of how to and how not to experiences by working his way out from small time club shows to The Show, The UFC. If you want to be the best then you have to learn from the best. Thank you Adrian and Fight Business Academy!

Since the age of 8 I've lived, breathed, and sleep Martial Arts. It's been my life's passion and my entire career, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Adrian Rosenbusch is light-years ahead of his time as a Teacher, Trainer, Martial Artist and Communicator. Not only does he have more technical skill, tenacity and fighting ability than many world-class Instructors I've trained with and know personally (who have graced the covers of magazines many times), Adrian also has an amazing Intuition, Compassion, and Bushido Heart. He gets my HIGHEST recommendation.
