MMA: Mixed Martial Arts
976 Lujiabang Rd (Close to Nanchezhan Rd) Enter at the back of the building. The gym is on the top floor #27.
Kick your work week aggression out at this mixed kickboxing class that teaches both Muay Thai (Thai kickboxing) and American style. Muay Thai capitalizes on punches, kicks, knees, elbows and clinch fighting, and is considered a must for MMA cross-training. The American style evolved from full contact karate and in contrast, does not allow clinch fighting, knee and elbow strikes, emphasizing kicking variety, speed and set-ups instead.

Mixed martial arts is the worlds fastest growing sport. Sometimes erroneously called "ultimate fighting" or "cage fighting". It's a sport showcased by the Ultimate Fighting Championship (USA), Pride Fighting Championships (Japan), Art of War Fighting Championship (China), Vale Tudo (Brazil) and numerous other organizations around the world.
MMA combines all aspects of hand-to-hand combat, and addresses every possible position in a fight: stand-up striking, clinch fighting, take-downs & throws, ground fighting, and submissions.While MMA is taught as a sport, I personally believe it is the most effective training approach to empty handed self-defense.
MMA is a live art. That means that unlike the theoretical combat of traditional martial arts forms and point sparring, MMA practitioners train realistically against live, resisting opponents in order to prepare for full contact fights. In a no-holds-barred fight, there is no room for theoretical combat, there is only that which works, and that which does not work. This preparation and mindset is what sets mixed martial artists apart from their peers.
The physical conditioning an MMA fighter must endure is unparalleled. In order to stay competitive in all aspects of combat, an MMA fighter becomes a well rounded world-class athlete, developing functional muscle strength, spider-like agility, the endurance of a race horse, optimum flexibility, and the ability to recover from fatigue at a phenomenal rate. MMA training will give you the edge you need to be competitive in any combat sport or martial art, whether your goal is to fight professionally, fun and self improvement, or simply be in the best shape of your life.
