We offer Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) classes on Wednesdays 8:30-10:00pm and Saturdays 3:30-5:00pm, which are available to everyone enrolled in the Jiu Jitsu and Unlimited programs. MMA is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills, from a mixture of martial arts and backgrounds, to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of both striking as well as grappling techniques, while standing or on the ground. Jared Carlsten is our MMA instructor. Jared is a Pro Fighter and a brown belt under Eddie Bravo. We occasionally have guest instructors teach our MMA classes, such as the Stikeforce pro fighter Conor "Hurricane" Heun. The MMA class combines all the skills taught in our other classes in one class (wrestling, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu) along with ground and pound, against the fence techniques, fight strategy, take downs, clinching, etc. This class is for anyone who is interested in competing in MMA fights (amateur or pro), learning effective self defense, or those who are interested in just learning or improving their skills in bringing all the fight forms together. We also set up and corner MMA fights for those students who are intersted in competeing in MMA.
