Complete training
Build a more complete martial arts game
MMA requires you to be comfortable wherever the fight goes. Our training gives students opportunities to work on the different ranges of mixed martial arts, from standing exchanges and takedowns to control and striking on the ground.
Combat Jiu-Jitsu, created by Eddie Bravo, combines ground fighting with open-palm strikes, providing a more practical and realistic approach to self-defense. Students learn striking from advantageous positions as well as how to defend strikes on the ground.
Our takedown training focuses on safely taking the fight to the ground and securing dominant positions. The curriculum emphasizes pummeling, hand fighting, and using grip tie-ups to execute effective takedowns. Strikers looking to improve their takedown defense can benefit from this training as well.
