MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
|
Mixed Martial Arts consists of a blend of the best techniques and strategies from martial arts from around the world including Karate, Kickboxing, Wrestling, Jiu-jitsu, and others. Classes include strength and conditioning drills, target and “bag” work for striking, takedown drills, "cagework", and ground-fighting training. MMA provides an incredible fitness program and a rounded package of martial arts skills.
The majority of students who participate in these classes do so for fitness, self-defense skills, stress release, and just for the fun of it! ZenQuest DOES also have a very successful MMA fight team. They are proud to represent the group, and prove that the techniques and strategies taught at ZenQuest WORK when it counts. |
