MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

What Is Mixed Martial Arts?
This is a  hybrid fighting system that incorporates the best techniques from various sytems.
 

Why Should I Train In Mixed Martial Arts Instead of Just One Style?
You learn to defend yourself from a standing position as well as from the ground should you get knocked off your feet.  You also learn how to use what is at your disposal as a self-defense weapon.
 


 

MUAY THAI

Muay Thai uses eight body parts as defense (the hands, shins, elbows, and knees).  Elbow strikes are mostly used while in close range fighting.  They can be thrown sideways (like a hook), upwards (like an uppercut), or downwards.  The hardness of the elbow allows for hitting with considerable force and is very effective when used properly in a self-defense situation.

Knee strikes are used to "shock the thigh" of an attacker or a sharp strike to the groin.  If able to gain head control of the attacker, a sharp thrust of the knee to attackers head can render them unconscious long enough for the victim to escape.  

Some of our instructors attended a 3-day seminar in Summer 2008 and trained for seven hours with 6-time World Champion and International Kickboxing Hall of Famer Saekson Janira.

JIU-JITSU

A joint-lock involves isolating an opponent's arm or leg and create a lever with the body position which will force the joint to move past its normal range of motion to what is referred to as hyperextension. 

A choke-hold properly administered will disrupt the blood supply to the brain and can put the attacker into an unconscious state giving the victim time to escape. 

When properly trained, a smaller/weaker person using leverage and proper technique can successfully defend against a bigger/stronger attacker. 

Some of our instuctors attended a 3-day seminar in Summer 2008 and trained for seven hours with Grandmaster Ron Van Browning, 10th degree black belt.


WEAPONS/MODERN ARNIS

This is a system of Filipino martial arts founded by Remy Presas as a self-defense system.  The Kombatan style is known for its double stick techniques as well as bladed weapons and empty hand techniques. 

When properly trained, a student will know how to make a self-defense weapon out of their surroundings and know how to use them effectively against an attacker. 

Some of our instructors attended a 3-day seminar in Summer 2008 and trained for seven hours with Datu Hartman, 9th degree with Grandmaster status in Kombatan.
