Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in the USA. The emergence of MMA in 1993 caused a revolution in the way the Martial Arts community viewed effective training methods, and a re-evaluation of what it means to approach fighting realistically. Athletes use a combination of punches, kicks, wrestling, takedowns, throws, armlocks, leglocks, and chokes in this full-contact sport. Training in the MMA class focuses on integrating skills from kickboxing, wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu, and on developing the high level of athleticism necessary for the demands of a competitive match. Competitors must learn to multi-task: to wrestle while boxing, to strike (and defend) while on the ground, and to seamlessly glide between these ranges and skillsets as needed. Both the mental and physical pace are grueling. Whether you want to be a competitive athlete, or you just want to train like one, MMA training is a fun and challenging workout that is never the same, and always exciting! |
