FIGHTER TRAINING

Muay Thai is translated to Thai Boxing and is the national sport and cultural martial art of Thailand. It was developed several hundreds of years ago as a form of close-combat that utilises the entire body as a weapon. Also known as the art of "Eight Limbs", due to its use of PUNCHES, ELBOWS, KNEES & KICKS. Muay Thai is a stand-up striking combat sport, with two competitors wearing gloves in the ring throwing punches, elbows, knees and kicks at each other. Clinching, sweeps and throws are also allowed. Besides the 8-point contact, a key difference between Muay Thai and many other stand-up combat sports is its emphasis on traditional elements such as the pre-fight dance ritual known as Wai Kru Ram Muay, the head dress (Mongkon) and the Sarama music that accompanies each fight.

It is also a practical form of Self-Defense as well as one of the best cardio exercises and workouts you can do. Not only will you get "fighting" fit, but you will also learn to protect yourself, and great stress-reliever.

The word “Jiu Jitsu” derives from the Japanese “Jū” meaning “Gentle” and “Jutsu” meaning “Art”; essentially, Jiu Jitsu is the “Gentle Art”. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a predominantly ground-based martial art, using the principals of leverage, angles, pressure and timing, as well as knowledge of the human anatomy, in order to achieve a non-violent submission of one’s opponent. Unlike other martial arts that focus on strikes and/or kicks, Jiu Jitsu focuses on close-contact “grappling” holds and techniques, and the application of chokes and joint-manipulations.

More than just a great workout, Jiu Jitsu is often referred to as “human chess” in that it exercises both the body and the mind. The physical benefits of are immense and well-documented. Because JIU JITSU presents a combination of dynamic and explosive movements with pressure-based isometric pushing, pulling, and holding, it helps to develop increased strength and cardio, as well as promotes weight loss and improved muscle tone.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact Combat Sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques and skills from a mixture of other Combat Sports and Martial Arts to be used in competition. The rules allow usage of both striking and grappling techniques while standing and on the ground. Popularised by the UFC, ONE FC and BELLATOR.

MMA classes are an ideal way to get into shape and to improve overall fitness. While it involves elements of various Martial Arts, MMA is best viewed as a full workout for the whole body that will push it to new heights and limits.
