TONBRIDGE MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY

What is Mixed  Martial Arts Training

MMA is combat sport in which two copetitors attempt to achieve dominance over one another by utilising a wide variety of martial arts techniques.  These include striking, grappling & submission techniques.  MMA is a hybrid style of fighting, using techniques from a number of traditional martial arts styles.  MMA incorporates a good mixture of ground fighting, stand-up striking and takedowns.

MMA has a long history dating back to the late 1800s when wrestlers representing fighting styles such as jujitsu, catch-as-catch-can, greco-roman ect met in tournaments throughout europe.  This later evolved with two styles dominating the competitions wrestling & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.  This represented the firt step towards the evolution of cross training.  Now most stand up fighters have recognised the importance of grappling & submisiopn skills and have added them to thier existing styles.

Our fighters will learn a combination of styles which are effective at every level of combat.
