STRIKING

Striking range utilizes stances, footwork, feints, angles,
set ups, deception 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 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 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 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 hand-to-hand combat 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 grappling holds and strikes, that are designed to control and damage the opponent. Having a strong ground game would contribute to your overall skills. Proper training in groundwork is not only interesting but it essential.
