Mixed Martial Arts competition has become more popular in the last few years more then ever.
Mostly impart by MMA promotions such as the UFC, Strikeforce and WEC.
Staying true to the meaning of Mixed Martial Arts, Derby City MMA teaches the four separate disciplines that every professional fighter in these major organizations use including Boxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling and Muay Thai Kickboxing. Our Mixed Martial Arts curriculum's a combination of our four separate martial arts into one comprehensive program. We feel very strongly that the various styles should be taught separately and then recombined to focus on transitions, conditioning and strategies to highlight personal skills and strengths. We have been instructing at our current location since 2006.
Conditioning
At Derby City conditioning is at the forefront of our MMA training.
Using a system of plyometrics, interval and strength training our instructors will give you the extra edge you need and a body that can sustain a high level of performance round after round.
