MMA

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a complete combat sport that combines techniques from multiple martial arts and combat disciplines into one system.

 

At Bahamas Combat Academy, our MMA program teaches students how to strike, wrestle, grapple, defend, and transition between different phases of a fight.

 

MMA brings together the strengths of disciplines such as Boxing, Kickboxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Judo, while adding specialized MMA skills that allow those techniques to work together effectively.
