Mixed Martial Arts – MMA
MMA has exploded in popularity, but what exactly is it? MMA stands for mixed martial arts and combines striking, grappling, and ground work into one sport. As the UFC explains, MMA brings athletes from different martial arts together under one unified set of rules. This creates a fast, dynamic sport where you need to master both standing and floor techniques.
What You’ll Learn at Our MMA Gym
At Gracie Barra O’Fallon, you’ll train in multiple martial arts disciplines. Our instructors guide you through fundamentals and help you progress into advanced skills. Unlike traditional gyms, our MMA gym blends Brazilian jiu jitsu roots with striking arts to prepare students for real combat or competition.
MMA combines techniques from these disciplines:
- Boxing – precise punches and sharp footwork with gloves.
- Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – leverage your opponent’s strength and apply ground-based submissions.
- Karate – powerful strikes and linear movements.
- Kickboxing – punches and kicks, including Muay Thai techniques.
- Kung Fu – diverse forms, often inspired by animal movements (learn more).
- Taekwondo – dynamic, high-level kicks.
- Wrestling – takedowns and ground control without striking.
