the mission

The MMA dojo was founded in 2022  

The mission  is simple

1. Create an MMA club with highly efficient training and a good environment.

2.  Have a positive effect through Martial art

 

 

How? 

We are about putting the original principles of martial art back into an MMA gym. Taking training seriously and creating a refreshing and energising environment where training standards are higher than usual for hobbyists and fighters. A place where Coaches take their job seriously and we are all committed to constant improvement. This is a place to connect, focus, train hard ,evolve and achive goals.  The following core principles are what characterise mma dojo. 

1.SMALL CLASSes

We have small classes of no more than 14 students. This way we can give more attention to each individual allowing for better learning of martial art skill and fitness development. 

2.STRUCTURED SYLLABUS then forget syllabus

When you first start we follow a structured syllabus with clear goals and make sure you build a strong foundation. But once you get to a higher level we move away from rigid structures and support you to develop your own style of fighting. We understand that fighters and martial artists are all individuals and support you to develop in your own direction.  

3.Scientific training

 We don’t care about tradition,  we just do what makes sense now. We are constantly evolving to ensure that we have the most safe and efficient way to train and get the results. Therefore the risk of injury is decreased and you reach peak skill and physical fitness much faster. This doesent mean we dont train hard it just means we train smart as well as hard. Scientific training also means being open to criticism and we do critique ourselves and each other alot and invite others to do so too. This is how we Evolve. 

4.consideration of training partners 
Although martial art training always has risks,  in the dojo we do not try to hurt each other. Not everyone has to spar but when we do, we focus on skill development and learning. We spar with max speed but low power so that timing and reactions can be developed without  concussion and you can stay healthy long term. 
 
5.environment 
The dojo is kept clean and tidy with lots of plants to purify the air and the temperature is kept warm all year round. Shoes must be removed upon entry and the mats are disinfected everyday. In the dojo environment you can train harder and then afterwards relax more and feel fresher.  

How does martial art have a positive effect? 

 Firstly just doing mixed martial art training alone can have a huge positive effects on people and society . And then the rare and brave men and women who do choose to fight are professional athletes and entertainers who can bring positivity into the world.

4. It Helps people get physically and mentally healthier 

5.Combat athletes entertain people and can be good role models.
