Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA)

Kids Ages 4+

Adults Ages 16+

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a sport where fighters use skills from different martial arts. It’s like a blend of Muay Thai, a striking style from Thailand, with wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In MMA, fighters can punch and kick like in Muay Thai, but they also use wrestling to take opponents down to the ground. Once on the ground, they might use BJJ techniques to control their opponent or try to make them tap out with submissions. This combination of styles makes MMA exciting and unpredictable to watch!

MMA

Strength

With each punch, kick, and block, mixed martial artists are using every part of their bodies. Given this, it should come as no surprise that MMA is one of the most effective ways to build and tone muscles throughout the entire body. Through weight training, cardio exercises, and grappling, Lovato’s MMA students quickly develop newfound strength, endurance, balance, and coordination with every class. MMA training is intense, but it’s incredibly rewarding and will leave you with results that are sure to lead you to success in any style of martial arts you may practice.

Health

MMA does more important things than just define your muscles or help you overcome a competitor in the ring – it’s amazing for your health too. MMA is a great source of cardio that incorporates both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. As a result, it helps athletes burn fat, reach their goal weight, and improve their lung health. By enrolling in Lovato’s MMA training, you will experience new intensity within your athleticism, get your body in its very best shape, and protect yourself from a variety of diseases.

Life Lessons

MMA training isn’t just good for the body – it’s good for the soul. At Lavato’s School of BJJ & MMA, our instruction teaches life lessons that can’t be found in the classroom or even at home. We believe that MMA pushes students to be their best – encouraging them to try new things, maintain focus during class, and put in the work both in the gym and at home. As students progress through their mixed martial arts training, they will come to understand the value of hard work, learn how to set goals for themselves, and understand the growth that comes from challenge.

Confidence

When you train in MMA, you see results. You will progress in skills by learning how capable you can be despite physical limitations. Also, you can expect to gain mental strength through discipline and problem solving skills you will build throughout your BJJ journey. Last, you will learn how to be completely present, trust your instincts, & stay calm under pressure. Join us today at Lavato’s School of BJJ & MMAand become the best “you” you can be!
