MIXED MARTIAL ARTS (MMA)
In the early 1990’s the UFC and the Gracie family burst onto the scene with “No Rules” fighting and immediately put into the question the effectiveness of many traditional martial art styles. Although the original competitions were highly criticized as being barbaric and scrutinized by politicians, they did teach one very important lesson: the best martial art style was not having ONE, but instead a blend of several arts including striking, wrestling, and submissions.
Whether you are training to get in shape, or looking to become a competitive fighter, there is a reason why Mixed Martial Artists are considered the greatest conditioned athletes in the world. Our mixed martial arts program combines striking arts such as boxing, kickboxing and muay thai, with grappling arts such as wrestling and jiu-jitsu. Students learn proven methodology and training techniques that can be very effective in competition, but also used for self-defense.
Classes often mix striking and submission drills with pad work, grappling, light sparring, and practicing takedowns and takedown defenses. Our mixed martial arts class will challenge you physically each day with our rigorous training routine, but will also inspire your desire to learn as you master new skills each training session.
