This class can only be attended by “MuayThai Program” members, not “fitness” program members. See staff for details.

No “Gi” Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is primarily a ground-fighting art.

Most techniques involve both fighters on the mat. There is a heavy emphasis on positional strategy, which is about which fighter is on top, and where each person’s legs are. Positions are stable situations, from which a large variety of techniques are available to both fighters. The primary positions include:

Guard: The person applying the guard is on the bottom with his back on the ground; his legs are wrapped around his opponent’s hips (who is said to be “in the guard”). · Side control: Chest-on-chest but without the legs being entangled.
Mount: On top of his opponent (who “is mounted”), sitting on his chest, with one leg on either side of his torso.
Back mount: Behind his opponent, with his feet hooked around his opponent’s hips and upper thighs. Specific techniques taught are designed either to improve one’s position (for example, to “pass the guard”, by going from being “in the guard” to getting around the opponent’s legs, resulting in side control); or else as a finishing submissions. Most submissions are either chokes (cutting off the blood supply to the brain) or arm locks (hyperextending the elbow, or twisting the shoulder).

BOXING, Known as “The Sweet Science”, our boxing program will improve both your offensive and defensive punching skills through a series of drills. You will incorporate the heavy bag, upper cut box, shadow boxing, and focus mitts to achieve these goals. Boxing is available for either group or private lessons.

MMA – Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)   is the combat sport in which two competitors attempt to achieve dominance over one another by utilizing a wide variety of permitted martial arts techniques. These techniques generally fall into three categories: striking, grappling and finishing holds. Victory is normally gained through knock-out, submission, or stoppage by the referee.

“MMA workout” Classes level 1 will involve the use of shadowboxing, footwork skills, heavy bag training, and ground and pound dummy training. Here at ATT, this class is known for its awesome fitness and conditioning benefits, as well as martial technique and strategy. MMA workout is the perfect MMA conditioning class that provides the student with the tools they need for the cage although you may plan to never fight.

“Advanced MMA” class level 2 is the place where students can utilize all the techniques they have learned in our variety of classes, but combine them for use in a full-contact atmosphere. The  advanced MMA classes are exclusively offered to members who are enrolled in our “MMA program”, which includes unlimited access to all of the classes on our schedule.
