Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of a wide variety of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground.
Spreading from the vale tudo (no holds barred) fights of Brazil to Japan and then around the world, MMA is one of the fastest growing sports in North America, thanks to the popularity of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike TV.
MMA classes include calisthenic warmups, shadow boxing, heavy bag striking drills (both hanging and laying on the ground), striking drills to kick pads and punch mitts, standup wrestling, clinch & wall work, open hand light-contact sparring, boxing & kickboxing, submissions, striking drills on the ground, and full range sparring.
