WHAT IS MMA?

Whether you watch UFC fights or have heard about the famous fighter “Conor McGregor” in the news or on social media, it doesn’t matter, we are here to tell you exactly what Mixed Martial Arts (or MMA) is about. MMA is a fairly common word with an audience of 300+ million fans across the globe, it is one of the fastest-growing combat sport that involves striking, punching, and using various holds and throws to strike down a competitor to the floor. In a Mixed Martial Arts for beginners class, techniques of attack and defense are taught, including a variety of punches, kicks, chokes, takedowns, and joint-locks to help gain control over an opponent. This game of thrill and sport continues until one of the contenders is knocked-out, submitted, or is declared over by the referee or doctor.

Martial Arts is designed to push your limits and it’s typically great for developing physical stamina. To be able to select which form of martial arts is right for you, you need to consider the three core areas that make up all of Mixed Martial Arts fighting.One form involves stand-up fighting where you fight with your hands, feet, elbows, and knees. Boxing, Muay Thai, Karate, and Taekwondo are examples of stand-up fighting.The second involves clinch techniques where opponents grapple one another to get leverage, such as in Judo and Jiu-Jitsu.The last and final is on the ground, which is commonly witnessed in wrestling. As a beginner, Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling could be your priority to learn as you begin to gain more strength and form.
