Mixed Martial Arts: Training and Conditioning
SPECIAL NOTE: This class replaces all previous boxing and MMA classes taught at Dragon Gym by Brian Petty. ALL fighting classes taught by Brian will now be designated Mixed Martial Arts and will always contain a teaching/training component as well as conditioning. The fighting style practiced could be called MMA, No Holds Barred, eclectic, non-traditional, combat-oriented, etc.—very simply., it is basic fighting. Technique will be based heavily on bare-knuckle boxing, Muay Thai kickboxing, Filipino Combat Escrima, Russian Sombo, and other hard styles. The emphasis in these classes will generally be on real-world applications but competition training is also available. Conditioning will be mainly Russian Kettlebell drills, bodyweight exercises, and jump rope. The ultimate goal will be to enable you to punch, kick, knee, elbow, clinch, take-down, grapple, and submit an opponent as well as defending against the same techniques.
