Mixed Martial Arts is a combination of muay thai, jiu jitsu, wrestling, and boxing making it the most realistic martial art form of self defense. This class focuses on the strategies of the sport of mixed martial arts both offensive and defensive. Conceptualizing how to win an mma fight both on your feet and on the ground.

Our mixed martial arts class is specifically designed to give an understanding to the offensive and defensive strategies and techniques used by professional mixed martial artists around the world. Stafford MMA’s owner and head instructor, Liam Kerrigan, has years of experience on both sides of the competitive mixed martial arts world. Both as a fighter and a referee for the NJSACB. This gives the students at Stafford MMA a unique experience and an inside look at the fights they are watching at home or wish to compete in the future.

The beginning of this class is dedicated to the fundamental movements and cage work that make up mixed martial arts as we know it today. Combinations and strategies for striking, wrestling, and submissions both offensive and defensive will be demonstrated and drilled to create a better knowledge base so students can raise their fight i.q. and think on their own feet. Each mma class ends with the opportunity to train in different live drills and tech spar with full amateur mma rules in a safe controlled environment.

*Students must be in our muay thai and jiu jitsu for one month of classes before attending mma class.
