What is Mixed Martial Arts?

Mixed Martial Arts allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, from a variety of other combat sports and martial arts. MMA originally was promoted as a competition with the intention of finding the most effective martial arts for real-life combat situations.

The original MMA competitors were matched against one another with very few rules. Fighters incorporated techniques from many martial arts styles while MMA event promoters formed additional rules aimed at increasing safety for competitors and to promote the mainstream acceptance of the sport.

OUR FIGHTERS ARE ALL HOMEGROWN IN OUR OWN GYM USING 100% ALL-NATURAL TRAINING METHODS

The idea of getting into a ring and competing does not appeal to most people who come to us to learn MMA. Only about 10% of our students compete, yet 100% of our students are learning the real world skills of the fighting trade. As a beginner, you’ll go through training phases that are appropriate to your skill and fitness level. You’ll learn the fundamentals of striking, grappling, and takedowns – and then put them together in our higher-level MMA classes.

For those individuals interested in pro and competition level training, we have professional-level sessions which are of higher intensity. Regardless, no student at Crazy 88 is ever made to compete if they are not comfortable doing so. You will receive the same professional training that successful MMA fighters receive, even if you’re not interested in competition.
