MMA & Sambo
Saturdays 12pm & Wednesdays 6 pm
In MMA we teach how to tie all your skills together and add in some additional specialized skills such as fighting against the wall or cage, controlling ring space, and the blending of striking, wrestling, clinches, and grappling. During this class we will help you develop strategies, concepts, and systems that work best for personal style.
Sambo, from October to April every year, is MMA taught wearing a Gi jacket, and emphasizes slightly different techniques. While MMA is heavy into wrestling, Sambo focuses more on Judo. it also uses the opponent's Gi to attack with lapel chokes, or establish control using the Gi. While traditional Sambo does not work against a wall or cage, we do, as there are many unique lapel chokes and takedowns that can be added into your game from there.
The Experience
Instructor: Coach Greg
Assistant Instructor: Alex Bassett
One of our most popular classes, the MMA & Sambo class helps you put all your skills together with a fast paced high energy training session. While the name of the class sometimes intimidates beginners, this is an all levels class.
Your average class starts with a 6 minute run and some light fitness and stretching. Then you'll do a couple rounds working the move of the day, doing a short walkthrough, then applying it in drills or situational sparring. We finish each class with 20 minutes of sparring. Sparring is light contact to encourage students to explore new techniques and focus on skill development.
