About Mixed Martial Arts:

Mixed Martial Arts is a modern take on one of the oldest styles of sport combat
in history. Traditional Mixed Martial Arts was first founded by the Greeks as an event for the Olympics known as Pankration. They combined striking, submissions, and wrestling to create a sport fighting system that has now been popularized again over the past 30 plus years. With many more rules and techniques included in MMA today, incredible athletes have brought the sport to new heights.

The MMA/Conditioning class is designed to offer modern martial arts application with intense cardio and muscle conditioning. The course teaches a variety of striking and ground manipulation techniques. These skills are improved upon by use of sparring with ground and stand-up applications as well as body conditioning exercises. This is much more than a boxing or tradition grappling class can offer. The class is a high intensity work out that is designed to get students into fighting shape.
