FUSION FREESTYLE CURRICULUM
WHAT WE TEACH
STYLE
MMA offers cross-training of all combat disciplines, harmoniously combined together to form a seamless, unified style. It is the purest form of unarmed combat because it takes the greatest elements of various martial arts and mixes them together. Mastering this style aims to synthesize different martial styles to create the most well-rounded students. It is a style having no weaknesses with the intent of using all styles, it seeks to develop the most capable skills possible. It offers a superior advantage that can not be matched in a classical single style approach because it is free to use any and all styles. The freedom to incorporate whatever technique of any other martial arts is the reason why it provides the most versatile style ever made.
CONCEPTS
MMA cross-training offers a solid base foundation in Karate first and foremost which provides powerful direct force, impact with maximum efficiency, open hand techniques, thrust kicks, evasive movement, and hardcore blocks; which we combine with the powerful movements, body-shifting, and rapid-fire speed striking from Kenpo; seamlessly mixed in with jumping and spinning techniques of Taekwondo; plus we incorporate takedowns, throws, and sweeps from Judo; blended with chokes, locks, grapples, and ground-work techniques from Jiu-Jitsu; with focus on the combinations, power generation and countering moves and footwork from Kickboxing and Boxing; Wrestling focuses on level changes, escapes, strength, lifting, pins and high-position body control. Also, Kudo style protective gear is used for safe sparring.
APPROACH
The mixed martial arts training approach differs greatly from classical martial arts. The techniques and philosophies focus solely on application to real combat. This approach offers no frills, no gimmicks and no nonsense. It does not waste time with useless formalities, outdated rituals or impractical traditions that give students a false sense of their abilities. Students are not required to memorize patterns, learn cultural ceremonies, or work on choreographed forms. MMA's approach is to simply drill techniques that have been battle tested and proven to work over and over again from all arts. When faced with a combat situation students are prepared with the tools needed to react and execute in any situation.
STRUCTURE
Belt grading structure is used to define the degree of the students proficiency in our MMA schools. The belt grading concept originated from Dr. Jigoro Kano who awarded the first Judo black belts in the 1880. The practice then began to spread to Karate, TaeKwonDo, Jiujitsu, KravMega, Kickboxing and more. The ranks, colors, and how long they take to earn are unique to each students skills. In 2012 schools began to introduce the need to use belts specifically gauged around MMA training as a modern system that indicates the student’s level of experience. Like all other styles that use belt grading this applies to any students simply looking to learn mixed martial arts for fun or sport. The belt system simply helps students build confidence through achievement. Belt rank shows the students proficiency in many of the world's most effective MMA techniques.
STRIKING
Striking range utilizes stances, footwork, feints, angles,
set ups, deception, southpaw and jumping
to land blows via all 8 limbs of the body. Not only will you learn the offensive attacks of the striking arts, but you’ll also be able to defend yourself from someone trying to attack you with blocking techniques. Understanding strikes in the context of both offense and defense is fundamental to cross-training in striking.
CLINCH
Standing grappling range is otherwise known as the clinch range which is designed to put an opponent into holds. This gives the student more control of their opponent's movements. Once in the clinch, they might want to land strikes. Alternatively, being in a clinch position will enable the student to throw their opponent to the mat much easier. The most important element, though, is to remain in control of their movements. Defense of the clinch is also an essential technique which is part of cross-training.
TAKEDOWNS
The ability to take your opponent down is essential. Takedowns are throws and sweep techniques involve off-balancing an opponent and bringing them to the ground. Students learn to apply, defend and also the safety of these techniques throughout our cross-training. Takedowns can significantly increase your chances of protecting yourself or at least leaving your opponent in a vulnerable position to apply the next technique.
GROUNDWORK
Ground work or ground game is grappling and striking which takes place while the combatants are on the ground. Having a strong ground game is integral to learn and has many benefits. Groundwork includes a variety of techniques, such as submission holds and ground and pound striking, designed to control and damage the opponent. Having a strong ground game would contribute to your overall skills. Proper cross-training in groundwork is essential.

EDUCATION
Our instruction focuses on excelling at becoming efficient at hand-to-hand combat. Our training is taught very simple, direct, and straightforward with nothing artificial about it. There is no mystery about our teachings, there is no puzzle or magic to unlock from patterns. Instead, we teach every single effective technique MMA has to offer from White to Black Belt. Whether it's standing on the feet, in the clinch, being taken down or on the ground, our instructor team covers only practical and effective training methods in all ranges.
PHILOSOPHY
Is Karate better than Kung fu? Is Kenpo better than Jui Jitsu? Is Wrestling better than Boxing? Is it Taekwondo or Tangsoodo? The answer is YES! YES, they are all the best; however wasting to much time learning just one art will leave you limited without a defense for every possible situation. Most martial arts focus on just one element of education. MMA was conceived to be dynamic, to enable its practitioners to adapt to the constant changes and fluctuations of live combat. This makes it more versatile than other martial arts. In many self-defense scenarios, MMA will help you much more than instruction in other martial arts.
VISION
MMA training evolves and is not limited like classical styles that are lost in mythologies and folklore. MMA purely focuses functional applications through innovative training and replacing impractical elements indigenous to eastern formatted styles, where as society changes, they do not evolve. By absorbing what is useful, rejecting what is useless, we offer each student a clear understanding of what they are learning. The idea of constantly researching and refining our training methods is key to producing students with abilities to confidently and proudly reflect the skills of their Belt rank level.
