Highlander MMA's Mixed Martial Arts Training Programs
Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is the premier ground-fighting martial art. Made famous by Royce Gracie in the early UFCs in the mid-1990's, it specializes in submission grappling when both fighters are on the ground. Techniques include positional control (especially the "guard" position), and submissions such as chokes and arm locks.
It is worth noting that Gracie Jiu-Jitsu differentiates itself from standard Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for its emphasis on self-defense rather than sports competition. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu students will:
- Learn to defend against punches and kicks from the standing position
- Learn to neutralize an attacker’s stand-up aggression while taking them to the ground, and maintaining the top position
- Learn to defend and submit a larger opponent from the bottom position
- Learn practical self-defense, including chokes and joint-locks, from both the standing and ground position
We also offer other self-defense and fitness training programs, such as:
- Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Classes
- Muay Thai for MMA Classes
- Submission Wrestling Classes
- Mixed Martial Arts Classes
- Women's Boot Camp Classes
- One-on-one Personal Training
