Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is an integration of several styles of martial arts including Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, Karate and Wrestling. Our Premier Martial Arts program includes self-protection skills as taught in Israeli Krav Maga and Filipino Kali. Mixed Martial Arts is not new. It has been practiced for thousands of years by many civilizations and quite possibly was invented by the ancient Greeks. As the fighting methods were carried from the Mediterranean to Asia and finally to the West the combative aspects of martial arts became more competitive and it was the Brazilians who re-introduced the concept of two unarmed combatants testing their skill, attributes and athletic abilities within a gladiator like arena. This became known as the modern day UFC or Ultimate Fighter Challenge.
 Brazilian jiu-jitsu proved in the early days of the UFC that the grappling expert had the advantage when competing in combat against most any striker. However, soon the stand up fighters began to learn the methods of the grapplers. This mix of training and knowledge would lead to a more complete fighter. Fused with an excellent conditioning program, MMA has proven to be one of the most effective forms of martial arts available. Today MMA is practiced in almost every State within the USA and around the world. The sport of MMA has attracted millions of participants and loyal fans. A person can choose to compete like a UFC fighter or simply train like one to get into shape and learn the fighting skill.
