Mixed Martial Arts has its roots steeped in tradition. We honor that tradition by training with the weapons that so heavily influenced our historical use of martial arts.

While weapons training may not be practical in a real world situation, using a weapon, especially training with a wooden one like a sword or staff, will build up strength in your arms, shoulders, and core as well as better coordinating the hips and hands.

The backbone of our reality based MMA program is what we call combat techniques. These are proven and effective techniques for use in self defense.

These techniques range from hand to hand, unarmed vs. a weapon, half-staff vs. larger opponents, and grappling.

The secret to success in self-defense is the ability to avoid conflict in the first place. However, when that isn’t possible, sometimes the best solution is to get away fast!

The rolls and other evasive maneuvers that we use in class are perfectly suited to help increase your chances of getting away from danger safely.
