MMA
A mix of other martial arts combat sports, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full-contact sport based on a combination of punching, striking, grappling and mat fighting.
Muay Thai
Known as ‘the Art of 8 Limbs’, Muay Thai uses punches, elbows, knees and kicks, along with clinching, sweeps, and throws, it’s a dynamic and powerful discipline rooted in Thai tradition.
Submission grappling
Evolving from ancient Greek wrestling, submission grappling takes place on the mat, focusing on technique, leverage and control. It combines elements of Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Judo and Sambo.
