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.

APPROACH

The MMA 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 It does not waste time with useless formalities, outdated rituals or impractical traditions that give students a false sense of their abilities.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. The training is a living breathing dynamic approach. Meaning unlike traditional training MMA changes or evolves and the curriculum is not in stone.

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

Whether we are practicing kickboxing, boxing, karate or taekwondo with a heavy focus on striking, it is important not to just go through the motions but also to focus on improving our skills for real-world application. 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 MMA  Mixed Martial Arts  PIKE CREEK DELAWARE 19808 - Fusion Freestyle Mixed Martial

CLINCHWORK

Learn the power of clinch fighting, specifically the grips, holds and strikes. Clinch fighting (or dirty boxing, as it is sometimes called) is one of the fundamental skills of MMA, Muay Thai, and other combat sports. 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 

Learn how to effectively takedown anyone from the
throwing techniques that Law Enforcement and Security Personnel use. Learn all fundamental moves and techniques to help you start and improve your 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 fighting 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. Mounted attacks are also important to learn to defend against because they are used both by people with ground combat training and by the unskilled. People intuitively recognize the positional advantage of being on top of a person.

ASSISTANT BROWN

Black Belt in training and Boxer, Assistant Brown trains hard and helps with MMA training to evolve and not limited like classical styles that are lost in mythologies and folklore. Brown 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, he 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 defend themselves. 

TARA MMA  Mixed Martial Arts  PIKE CREEK DELAWARE 19808 - Fusion Freestyle Mixed Martial A

DIRECTOR TARA

Tara 1st Degree Black Belt will question is Karate better than Kung fu? Is Kenpo better than Jui Jitsu? Is Wrestling better than Boxing? Is it Taekwondo or Tangsoodo? Wasting to much time learning just one art will leave you limited without a defense for every possible situation. 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.

THE MASTERS JOURNEY

Sensei Harman Black Belt Level 2 test - MMA  Mixed Martial Arts  PIKE CREEK DELAWARE 19808

Master Harman in 93 belt testing breaking boards for his next degree! Around this same time Sensei began to change how he viewed martial arts training by seeing The Ultimate Fighting Championship which was the first mixed martial arts event by the Ultimate Fighting Championship, held at the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver, Colorado, United States, on November 12, 1993. The event was broadcast live on pay-per-view. Sensei was 18 years of age when he rented this event with his friends and decided he must learn everything he could to begin mixed martial arts training. 

unnamed (8).jpg

Throughout the 80's and 90's Master Harman battle tested his skills in combat sports. Before teaching as the head of FFMMA he did two things to assure his students had a respectable leader. First he enrolled in combat sports throughout Baltimore, Philadelphia and Delaware to fight as an opportunity to see how his skills stacked up against those of surrounding martial artists from some of the toughest schools you can find. Second he signed up and paid to learn from some of the toughest martial arts instructors around for at least 1 year per school not focused on rank.

Today there are Internet Trolls, Cyber-bully's and Keyboard Gangster's. These cowards post negative reviews with made up false facts, and hide behind a fake user name? Well, in the 80's and 90's bullying meant you had to fight bigger, stronger and tougher bullies that would attempt to attack you. Master Harman grew up being a victim of bullying where his martial arts skills helped him avoid and address dangerous hand-to-hand combat situations. Sensei has never started a bullying situation but he has ended plenty of them.

He is a person who inspires and encourages to helps our kids, men, and women of all ages to strive for fitness goals. To be a good Sensei is to have knowledge and passion to instill leadership qualities to his students to enjoy a healthy life style.
