Kickboxing (American & Muay Thai) Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) is a form of hard martial art practiced in large parts of the world, including Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries. The art is similar to others in Southeast Asia such as: pradal serey in Cambodia, lethwei in Myanmar, tomoi in Malaysia, and Lao boxing in Laos. Muay Thai has a long history in Thailand and is the country's national sport. Traditional Muay Thai practiced today varies significantly from the ancient art muay boran and uses kicks and punches in a ring with gloves similar to those used in Western boxing. Muay Thai is referred to as "The Art of the Eight Limbs" as the hands, shins, elbows, and knees are all used extensively in this art. A practitioner of Muay Thai ("nak muay") has the ability to execute strikes using eight "points of contact," as opposed to "two points" (fists) in Western boxing and "four points" (fists, feet) used in the primarily sport-oriented forms of martial arts.

Submission Grappling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu  Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Program: 95% of street altercations end up on the ground! The art of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu strives for simplicity and effectiveness. Because of the fact that over 95% of self-defense altercations end up on the ground, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu focuses on close combat altercations and ground fighting. The techniques taught in Jiu-jitsu are based on submissions and controlling techniques. These techniques allow for a student to maintain better control of attackers while limiting the risk for personal injury. At CMMA we also feel it is very important to learn striking techniques in addition to Jiu-jitsu. Therefore we also offer instruction in Boxing and Kickboxing. With the combination of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and striking we feel our students receive a complete well-rounded training experience. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is considered to be one of the best and most practical of the ground grappling systems. Mixed Martial Arts Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows a wide variety of fighting techniques, from a mixture of martial arts traditions and non-traditions to be used in competitions. The rules allow the use of striking and grappling techniques, both while standing and on the ground. Such competitions allow martial artists of different backgrounds to compete.
