MMA is one of the fastest growing sports in the world right now. MMA has been made popular through the main stream TV show "The Ultimate Fighter" and continues to get more and more exposure through the Ultimate Fighting Championship. MMA is a combination of all the most effective martial arts rolled into one. Mainly consisting of Kickboxing, Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu, MMA is sure to increase your confidence. Not only does MMA offer you the best techniques in combat sports but it is also one of the greatest forms of exercise you can experience. MMA practitioners are constantly using their whole body and working every muscle while training in the various techniques. It is also an incredible fat burning cardio workout! If you are interested in learning to fight and get in great shape MMA is the class for you.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ was first made popular by the Gracie family in the early years of the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Royce Gracie was a slim 170lb Gracie or Brazilan Jiu-Jitsu fighter who took the Martial Arts world by storm when he was able to submit all of his opponents in the first few UFC's without getting a scratch on him. It didn't matter how big they were, Royce was able to use his Jiu-Jitsu to wear them down and submit them all. Now BJJ still is one of the main pillars of MMA but has also become an evolved sport of it's own. Those who train in BJJ are sure to learn some of the most effective Self-Defense Techniques on the planet as well as how the sport can help bring change and value to your life. Like MMA, the practice of Jiu-Jitsu also helps develop an incredible health and fitness lifestyle.
Submission Grappling is another form of Jiu-Jitsu but it is practiced without the Gi (uniform). Some prefer to practice one way over the other but they each offer similar techniques. With the Gi you actually have more techniques available but without the Gi you learn to control and submit your opponents without relying on the Gi to hold them down.
Wrestling is also another form of Grappling that we teach at the Clinch Academy and is also one of the main pillars of MMA. While Jiu-Jitsu offers a much more in-depth ground game, Wrestling offers superior takedowns. The combination of Wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu will turn you into a superior grappler on all levels.

Kickboxing is about using your hands, legs, knees and elbows to strike your opponent with the ultimate goal of knocking him out. We don't practice in class with this mentality but we learn how to use our limbs to attack and strike with various combinations, defenses and counters. We do alot of pad work and various sparring drills depending on your skill level and interest. Kickboxing is another great form of execise due to its intense pace. The class is pretty self-paced in learning and offers all you need to be a great stand-up fighter or to just get in great shape.
