Mixed Martial Arts Program
Our MMA/Grappling class meets Tuesday and Thursday nights from 8:00pm to 10:00pm. Tuesday nights we work on the stand up game and no gi grappling. This is an intense work out where students work on punching, kicking and throwing knees and elbows from the ground and stand up position. Students work on their inside game, learning throws and takedowns as well. Next, we hit the ground working on submissions with no gi. Students learn effective ways to submitt and defend themselves while working on postioning from the ground.
Thursday night is an all gi Grappling class. Students learn many techniques from the ground while wearing a gi. Student work form the ground on various chokes, arm bars and leg locks. Many students have competed in actual MMA and BJJ competition with great success with our awesome program.
