's message, "MMA Cross Training Center?" on 08:37:20 11/03/08 Mon
Below is directly from the website and IMO seems to be taking aim at local competition. I would like to know who the world class instructors are?
what do we teach?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Cross Training Centers we teach REAL Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and Self-Defense.
Our kickboxing is world class, our wrestling is world class, and our submission grappling is world class.
Why train kickboxing at one gym, jiu-jitsu at another gym, self defense at another gym... when you can do it all at MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) Cross Training Centers!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now don't confuse us with other "MMA" gyms... most gyms that claim to teach MMA are really just grapplers that fight.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What do I mean by that?
There are many incredible jiu-jitsu grapplers that have never done a day of formal kickboxing in their life!
And they have such a confidence in their martial arts style, that they are willing to fight in MMA competitions - yet have never trained with proper coaching in striking.
So now in their own gyms, when they are preparing for their fight, they engage in sparring sessions... what sort of quality striking can you expect?
To each their own... I have no problem with that... my problem is when these same guys start advertising themselves as Mixed Martial Arts schools... well, it is not MY problem... it is YOUR problem if you join up with them!
Mixed Martial Arts, or fighting in general, can be grouped into three areas:
1) Striking (i.e. kickboxing)
2) Takedowns (i.e. wrestling)
3) Ground Grappling (i.e. jiu-jitsu)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sadly, most "MMA" schools are severely lacking proper training and credentials in all three groups...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You may find a head instructor that is a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt but has no credentials in kickboxing or wrestling... or you will find a gym with talented strikers but no jiu-jitsu black belt present... or often you will find a "MMA" school that doesn't have an expert in any of the three areas I just described! A jack of all trades but a master of none!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
