What is Mixed Martial Arts?
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is really not a style. It is a mind set for the type of training that you do. It combines various aspects of different styles with a more western approach to training. So what does that mean? Simple, we train people to use what ever works period. Although many look at MMA as a sport, which it is, it is much more and meant to give you well rounded skills that can be applied to self defense.
Why Mixed Martial Arts instead of Traditional?
In the Martial Arts community, many have said that if you take a boxer against a traditional martial artist, of the same experience, the traditional martial artist is at a disadvantage. Why? Well it's not that the traditional martial artist doesn't have the tools to win, he just didn't train as realistically as a boxer. Boxers know what works and what doesn't because their training is "live" and not worked against a static willing partner. MMA training follows the same guidelines except that besided using only our fists as weapons, we teach you to use all of your body and at all ranges of defense |
