What is Mixed Martial Arts?

Mixed martial arts is a realistic, total fighting concept incorporating all aspects of striking and grappling both standing and on the ground. Learn for self defense, fitness, strength and competition.

At the Academy our mixed martial arts program is comprised of Brazilian jiu jitsu for grappling and Thai boxing for striking, along with additional techniques from other systems such as freestyle wrestling takedowns.
 
Mixed Martial Arts/BJJ at the Academy of Combat

At the Academy you can train in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and mixed martial arts classes. The MMA classes have a greater emphasis on the vale tudo (anything goes) aspects of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu with the striking elements of Muay Thai and boxing included, providing a complete and extremely practical self defence system covering all ranges of unarmed self-defense.
At the Academy when you train in either or both of these systems you will realise the value of these disciplines in providing not only an awesome physical fitness method but also a great and challenging mental pursuit.

The Academy of combat is an affiliated associate Academy of the Will/Machado Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Organisation, an association that ensures that we keep abreast of the world mixed martial arts game with continuous updating from workshops and traveling overseas to train with the greatest practitioners of the discipline.

Testimonials

...The whole point of this is to say that without you guys I never could have done any of this and  my life would definitely not have been as rewarding as it has been.

Win or lose MMA/BJJ has taught  me to aim high, never give up and that every problem has a solution and for that I'm forever  grateful.

Everyone should know how to defend themselves. You will definitely learn these abilities at the  Academy of Combat. Don't hesitate start today, you will not regret it when the situation arises when  you have to defend/protect yourself.

-Stephen Baker


...I would recommend this course (N.A.S.T.I Self Defence) to everyone, male, female and child alike,  as it covers a range of scenarios on multiple levels.

I found it to be invaluable towards my  attitude to the way I live and go about my life; where once I froze in the face of fear, I now don't  give it the time of day.
