MMA Training
MMA is a modern style of martial arts which incorporate techniques and theories from several sportive martial arts. This especially applies to MMA styles which incorporate a mixture of ground fighting, stand-up striking, and takedowns in their training.
​
According to the theory, a fighter's best strategy is to determine the phase in which he has the greatest advantage over his opponent and then to force the fight to take place in that phase. It currently appears that this is mainly correct, in the sense that if you are equally skilled in all phases of combat, you are prepared to take advantage of any weaknesses in your opponent.
​

Teixeira Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Since 2000
BJJ is widely recommended by physicians, psychologists and educators as the teaching methodology allows realistic and safe training for everyone. BJJ is considered by some experts to be the most complete of all martial arts. Its aim is to promote self-defense without the actual practice of violence.
​
BJJ cultivates personal growth by strengthening the positive and intellectual qualities of the practitioner. At its core BJJ is a defense system that requires the use of intelligence. It is an extremely healthy sport that increases endurance, flexibility, and coordination; it also releases stress and, above all, is a lot of fun.
