MMA/GRAPPLING
WHAT IS GRAPPLING?
Grappling is the close-range side of martial arts. It focuses on controlling an opponent through clinch work, takedowns, positional control, and submissions, rather than strikes.
Our Grappling classes are led by Coach Mo and Coach Jovan, blending the most effective elements of:
-Wrestling
-Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)
-Judo
-Sambo
You’ll learn how to:
-Control and off-balance an opponent
-Execute takedowns and defend against them
-Improve positioning on the ground
-Apply submissions safely and effectively
-Escape bad positions and stay calm under pressure
Grappling builds strength, coordination, problem-solving, and real self-defence ability, while being suitable for all fitness levels.
WHAT IS MMA?
MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) brings striking and grappling together into one complete system. In MMA classes, you’ll learn how to transition smoothly between:
-Striking and clinching
-Takedowns and takedown defence
-Ground control, escapes, and submissions
​
Training also includes key MMA skills such as:
-Wall and cage work
-Ground-and-pound control
-Scrambles and transitions
-Defensive awareness and positioning
​
MMA training is structured, progressive, and coached, allowing you to develop a well-rounded skill set whether your goal is fitness, self-defence, or competition.
WHO IS IT FOR?
Grappling classes are suitable for:
​
-Complete beginners
-People training for fitness and confidence
-Anyone interested in practical self-defence
-Martial artists expanding their skill set
-Fighters preparing for MMA competition
