While the concept of an unrestricted, one-on-one fight as a proving ground for martial artists had existed for centuries, such competitions were virtually non-existent in the United States until 1993, when the first Ultimate Fighting Championship aired. Since then, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has transformed into the fast growing combat sport on the planet.

As the name suggests, mixed martial arts allows competitors to draw upon techniques from a wide range of martial arts; strikes with the hands, feet, elbows and knees are allowed, along with throwing and grappling techniques usually drawn from wrestling, judo and Brazilian Jujitsu.

During MMA classes, students are taught how to integrate the knowledge they’ve gained from Muay Thai, BJJ and Boxing into a complete strategy for MMA competition. Students also receive instruction in techniques or strategies unique to MMA.

Classes use a combination of technical instruction and drilling, followed by sparring to allow students to apply their techniques against a live opponent.

The growth of Mixed Martial Arts has captured the attention of people of all ages.

Sityodtong’s Youth MMA program consists of two separate, connected classes. The Muay Thai classes teaches students the fundamentals of the art of Muay Thai, including various punches, kicks, knees, and basic clinch technique. During the grappling classes, students learn fundamental wrestling skills taken from Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

All of our Youth MMA classes focus on teaching the respect and discipline that is at the core of all martial arts training. Students are always observed and monitored to ensure that training is safe and enjoyable for everyone participating.
