Mixed Martial Arts also referred as MMA has gained mainstream recognition by the American promotional company Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).An MMA competition consists of two combatants fighting with very limited rules. Punching, kicking, knee and elbow strikes, chokes, armbars, leglocks and other submissions are all allowed. This class provides the training for NHB competition or for those who want a realistic training environment.

Not every member of Masson's Academy will become a fighter.There are training options for those that wish to compete in the Octagon cage or ring and there are also options for those that enjoy the training for reasons of self-defense, fitness, fun, hobby and social reasons.

The training intensity is up to the individual to decide.For those that wish to become fighters the training will be high intensity and rigorous in order to prepare for the challenge when stepping inside the cage. Others that don’t fight will often train at a lower intensity.Safety is a key issue. If our members get injured, they can’t train. We take every possible precaution to minimize injuries.There’s no use in practicing martial arts if you’re always too injured to actually participate!
