    IS MMA SAFE

    Yes! Our MMA classes teach real-world self-defense in a safe, supportive environment. We split each session based on student goals, so whether you’re training to step into the cage or just want to get fit, have fun, and learn practical self-defense, there’s a place for you. These classes are popular with both female and male students who may never want to compete but still value authentic, usable self-defense skills.

    TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

    Our club offers a technical MMA class that follows a grading schedule that is not based on how ‘tough’ you think you are, but rather on your class time spent doing our realistic training drills and learning not just the striking, clinching, takedown and submission techniques but most importantly the glue that binds them together into our MMA system. 

    TAKE YOUR SKILLS

    to the next level

    Whether it is for fun, fitness, MMA competition or street defence, this is a great class for the martial artist looking to take their skills to the next level for the street or the cage. We do have several students training at any one time for upcoming MMA fights so if this is a path you wish to go down, you are in a great place.
