MMA
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat sport that permits striking and grappling, both on the ground and standing, using techniques from a range of martial arts and combat sports. Our school focuses on the four main disciplines that constitute MMA: Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing and Muay Thai. Having a basic or extensive knowledge on some or all of these arts is vital to your development as a competitive MMA fighter.
FIRST TIME TRAINING MMA?
We do not offer beginner-only classes for MMA. If you’re new to the sport, we recommend cross training in Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and/or Wrestling for four to eight weeks before starting MMA training.

CHECK THE SCHEDULE
Practising MMA requires a knowledge of different disciplines and a good control of the octagon or cage: MMA is not a game, it takes a lot more than a fit body and a strong mind set... The Octagon favours skill, and an extended knowledge of combat over strength.
BJJ (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) uses technique and leverage, taking the fight to the ground and applying joint locks and chokeholds in order to defeat the opponent. A good jiu jitsu practitioner will try to control you on the ground and look for a submission.
Statistics prove that the most efficient form of KO or TKO is by blows delivered by a fist. Boxing for MMA represents one of the most efficient forms of ending a combat, by stand up sticking or ground and pound.
A wrestler controls the fight stand up striking or takes it to the ground, commonly resulting in a ground and pound. Being agile and versatile is crucial in avoiding submissions and staying on top. Learn essential pins and takedowns from Wrestling.
Muay Thai uses elbows, knees, kicks, punches, clinch and swipes during MMA combat and are fundamental to knockout a grappler or neutralise a boxer.
