What is MMA
MMA (mixed martial arts) combines techniques from boxing, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. You learn to fight standing, in the clinch and on the ground, and you build all-round fitness.
Can I do MMA if I've never done a contact sport?
Yes. You can start from scratch. At first you work on technique on the bag, on pads and in pairs, with partners who help you. Sparring is optional and only comes once you have the basics.
