DRIVE'S training center has a wide variety of different skills and disciplines of martial arts to offer someone interested in attending. My schools does a lot more than teach an individual how to beat up another person. With great instructors we teach our students the ART of being a true Mixed Martial Artist. As a student attending DRIVE you will go through a life changing process of being a regular person then evolving and becoming a martial artist which forces you to focus the mind and train the body. When you transform into a mixed martial artist you will find that the journey is as much mental as it is physical which strengthens your brain and body. The many different disciplines of martial arts have come from all over the world with some of them dating back thousands of years.
The many different types of Mixed Martial Arts specialities include:
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which involves joint locks, submissions, and chokes. The Gracie family made Jiu Jitsu famous at UFC 1
Muay Thai, which is referred to as The Art of Eight Limbs because the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in the martial arts form. Muay Thai is very popular in Thailand and many Southeast Asian countries.
Kickboxing, which refers to the sport of combining the grace and style of boxing with kicking. Kickboxing is a standing sport and does not allow continuation of the fight once a combatant has reached the ground.
Grappling which refers to techniques, maneuvers, and counters applied to an opponent in order to gain a physical advantage or to escape a dangerous position.
Wrestling is one of the oldest forms of martial arts and it uses grappling type techniques such as clinch fighting, throws, takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds.
Self Defense which is the act of defending oneself, one’s property or the well being of another from physical harm.
