Classes
Mixed Martial Arts
Our Mixed Martial Arts (or MMA) class is a combination of striking, wrestling, and grappling. Knowledge in these areas is not enough to ensure performance, however. One must also posses the skills with which to transition from one range to another. For this reason the MMA class covers all ranges in one class.
Our major influences in the MMA class come from the following:
- Striking = Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing
- Wrestling = Greco-Roman, Freestyle
- Grappling = Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo
Topics covered in this class include:
- Developing a Fighting Mindset
- Fight Psychology
- Footwork
- Striking and Striking Defense (in all ranges)
- Fighting from the Clinch
- Takedowns and Takedown Defense
- Positional Dominance on the Ground
- Positional Escapes
- Submissions and Submission Defense
Combatives
Our Combatives class is designed for those who desire the skills necessary to survive a violent physical encounter. Whether you are a Soldier preparing to go over seas in the defense of Freedom, a Police Officer who goes into harms way daily to protect and serve, a concerned citizen who wishes to protect him/her self and family, a Bouncer or a Security Guard, this is the class for you.
Topics covered in this class include:
- Developing a Fighting Mindset
- Fight Psychology
- Fight Avoidance and De-escalation
- Striking and Striking Defense
- Fighting from the Clinch
- Street Safe Takedowns and Takedown Defense
- Restraint and Escorting

All skills are taught in an “Alive” manner using force on force to ensure performance and understanding under real world pressure.
