Winchester MMA

The Winchester MMA club does not teach "UFC" or "MMA" instead, the program introduces students to a variety of martial arts disciplines through certified and accomplished martial arts instructors from a multiplicity of martial art facets; ergo, it is a "mixed" martial arts club.

This hopefully will spark in students, who otherwise would not have been exposed to martial arts, an interest to train in a particular discipline outside of school whether it is BJJ, Muay Thai or moQ'bara.

n.b. Several portions of this PROMOTIONAL video were staged. No one was hurt or ever in danger of being hurt during the filming of this video. Furthermore, there were NO injuries, maladies, or predicaments involving any member of the program that transpired throughout the entirety of the Winchester Mixed Martial Arts season. This video is for PROMOTIONAL purposes ONLY (i.e. for your ENTERTAINMENT). Do not attempt any of the activities depicted in this video without proper supervision.

Looks like a good curriculum..

I always liked implementing sport karate to an mma regiment to promote flexibility, It does heaps for your jiu jitsu!
