MMA is a combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used, including punching, elbows, kicking, knees and grapping. Modern mixed martial arts became popular when the Gracie family in 1993 developed the Ultimate Fighting Championship which was based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other. Today Mixed Martial Arts events have evolved implementing additional rules for the safety of the athletes and to promote acceptance of the sport, while maintaining as much of the original no-holds-barred concept as possible.

We teach real Mixed Martial Arts (MMA.) To become proficient in MMA you must be proficient in stand up striking, takedowns and ground fighting.
