MMA(Mixed Martial Arts)

MMA Classes combine boxing, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & Wrestling. It is the most comprehensive fighting style, as it uses nearly every fighting technique allowed. Fighters are permitted to punch, kick, knee, throw, strangle, joint lock - even strike opponents on the ground.

MMA should not be confused with No Holds Barred fighting or tough man competitions. Strict rules and regulations are enforced regarding the specifications of gloves, protective equipment, the number and length of rounds and the correct matching of opponents in weight classes.

At Brazilian Combat we have very expereinced instructors that will help you to learn and employ MMA techniques correctly. Professor Goioerê is a 3 time National Champion in 1999, 2000 and 2001 in Vale Tudo (MMA).

Students learn from these basic ranges and styles:

Standing Striking Range - using traditional boxing, kickboxing and Thai boxing skills.

Standing Grappling Range - close quarter fighting using punches and knees from Muay Thai and Boxing, plus throwing and takedown techniques from BJJ (Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu).

Ground Fighting Range - this is where many fights in the sport are decided. Fighters can use any submission technique from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu,
