Our MMA Program:
Our Mixed Martial Arts Program is made up of a balance of the most effective Martial Arts styles used by Professional MMA Fighters: Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai and Submission Wrestling. In order to give our students the most authentic experience possible, all of our classes are taught by Black Belts and Experienced Professional Instructors who are experts and long time practitioners in each style.
In addition to Mixed Martial Arts, we also have separate classes for Sport Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Self Defense, Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai - This segmented and Specialized training is important so that students get the fullest high-quality level of training in each Martial Art Used by Pro MMA Fighters.
Segmented Training in the Right Mix of Martial Arts. An Authentic Experience in Each Style.
In the corner of all Great Professional MMA Fighters, you will find a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Coach and a Striking (Muay Thai, Boxing) Coach. Pro MMA Champions know that they cannot win unless they are getting the highest quality training in each aspect of fighting needed to be a Champion of Mixed Martial Arts. They seek out experts in each style and focus completely on that area of training to get the most out of each session and absorb all of the important details.
If you attended a College and are working toward your Liberal Arts Degree, you wouldn’t take any “Liberal Arts” Classes, you would be taking classes in all of the subjects that make up that degree, taught by experts in each field. The same way a School can be a Liberal Arts College, we are a Mixed Martial Arts School and just as you would take Math, Science and History in a Liberal Arts College, you will study Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai and Boxing at our Mixed Martial Arts Academy because those are the arts that make up MMA. Although we do offer some “MMA” classes where we put it all together, a large part of our training is segmented into classes where you will concentrate on one area at a time, giving that aspect of fighting your full attention.
Our Coaches are Black Belts, Experts and Professional Instructors in the styles that they teach.
“MMA? You practice a martial art. Nogueira’s done Jiu-Jitsu his whole life, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t complement that with boxing. Now if I go and train MMA, what does that mean? Training MMA is Kimbo Slice. Can he stand and bang with a boxer? No. Can he put up a good fight on the ground? No. He’s a tough guy, but he’s not good. MMA isn’t a martial art. You have to have somewhere you come from, you have to know an art.” - UFC Legend, Royce Gracie

Mixed Martial Artsisn’t a Mix of just any style ... Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai & Boxing; The Right Mix of Martial Arts.
Modern Mixed Martial Arts competition was invented by Brazilian Jiu-jitsu practitioners in order to showcase their style as superior. Before becoming popular here in the U.S., it was known as "Vale Tudo" (anything goes) in Brazil. We were the first school in the area to teach Vale Tudo, long before "Mixed Martial Arts" was a popular phrase or accepted as a sport. In the first few Ultimate Fighting competitions, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu was pitted against nearly every style of martial arts and easily came out dominant, even over other grappling styles despite enormous weight differences. A 170lb Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (BJJ) practitioner wearing a Jiu-jitsu Gi defeated much heavier and accomplished practitioners of Judo, Wrestling, Submission Wresting, Karate, Kung Fu, Kickboxing and Boxing. When the point was made overwhelmingly that BJJ was the most complete martial art, fighters began to realize that they had to know it in order to beat it. Promoters soon realized that they needed to add rules, time limits and rounds in order to attract an American public who was used to watching striking sports like Boxing; this in turn gave full contact striking arts a fighting chance. Arts like Boxing, Kickboxing and Muay Thai were then added to the training regimen of MMA fighters and what we now know as a Complete Mixed Martial Arts Program was born.
We use this tried and true combination of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai in our MMA program at NYMAG.
