FFMA's Mixed Martial Arts System

FFMA's mixed martial arts system is based on using various principles and techniques derived from many forms of martial arts as noted below. We apply an open minded coaching philosophy based on the concept that there is no exact science of combat. We evaluate and practice techniques based on our research and experience, with the emphasis being, that the art is in the effectiveness of the technique.

After a tough day in today's frenetic world, training in a friendly, motivational environment, hitting the bag and pads, wrestling and doing specific combat conditioning exercises is an enjoyable way of getting rid of our emotional waste. Additionally, you will meet new friends & learn valuable self protection skills which will improve your confidence.
