Why You Should Try Mixed Martial Arts

The hottest fighting style around, Mixed Martial Arts is a fighting style worth looking into. Mixed Martial Arts can teach you how to fight and defend yourself if the need should arise. One of the greatest joys of Mixed Martial Arts is the opportunity to challenge yourself, and then test your strength against a sparring partner. And, of course, it’s an excellent workout, as well.

Holistic Approach 

There are other benefits to Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) that perhaps you might not know. First of all, there is a strong emphasis on mind-body awareness in MMA. Instructors take the time to make sure that you practice mind-body awareness when training with an opponent. Students are encouraged to meditate, and yoga is a part of your daily training. MMA teaches you not only how to fight, but it teaches you proper breathing and relaxation techniques.

Character Building

Mixed Martial Arts is an excellent way to build your confidence. Often you will be paired with sparring partners who are taller, faster, or stronger: this teaches you to execute your technique as flawlessly as possible to beat them at their own game. When you train with excellent instructors (like our teachers at A4 Fitness), you learn the best techniques for fighting. And your sparring partners themselves will work to show you how to better your fighting abilities along the way. Mixed Martial Arts will build you up and prepare you for different kinds of challenges you’ll face in the outside world.

Unique & Diverse Style

Next on the list of why you should try MMA, it’s different than any other fighting style. It’s not about beating your opponents with punches and kicks, No-Gi Jiu Jitsu is about grappling. And unlike Gi Jiu Jitsu, you don’t need to wear a typical karate gi. This gives you the ability to execute each move in your regular clothes – in case you ever need those moves as self-defense maneuvers in the real world.

Great Fun

Finally, it’s fun! If you’ve never challenged yourself with the sort of fighting you do in MMA, you ought to give it a try. The culture surrounding Mixed Martial Arts is all about community. Other fighters want to see you get better, so that the challenge is real. And they will support you when you are learning new moves. Not to mention your instructors, who are eager to help you grow and improve your technique all along the way.

Here at A4 Fitness, we are proud to offer excellent Mixed Martial Arts classes in Los Angeles. They are plain-clothes classes, often called No-Gi for the lack of a karate-style robe. Our instructors are ready to meet you at the level you are on, and they want to help you exceed your expectations as you reach for your goals. If you are thinking it’s time to try out No-Gi Jiu Jitsu, boxing, or Muay Thai kickboxing , give us a call today to enroll in Mixed Martial Arts classes.

Wow, I had no idea that doing martial arts you will need to face people that are taller or faster than you, and that can help you build up your confidence. I have been thinking about learning Kobudo, and I would like to learn how this could benefit me better. I will need to keep reading and learning more about it.

I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again. If you are going through any relationship stress or you want back your Ex or Divorce husband you can contact his whatsapp +2347012841542 or email emutemple@gmail.com website: Https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341
