MMA
Over the past twenty years there hasn't been a sport that has gained as much attention or popularity as MMA, it is the most pure form of combat with a large number of variables to prepare for. That's why finding a good gym is important, when you step into the cage you want to know your ready.
MMA fighters used to combine a variety of styles to round their skill set, however times have changed and athletes now must have an understanding of one complete style that offers understanding of both offence and defence in all ranges of combat.
When it comes to fighting it's important to know that your practicing what works. Despite less than 20% of our members being active MMA fighters we think it's important to provide an environment where all of our members are encouraged to improve their skill in combat as some make the choice to step in the cage!
