IMS MMA

Mixed Martial Arts

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a two-person combat sport in which a wide variety of fighting techniques are used. Currently it is synonymous with ultimate fighting, cage fighting, hybrid martial arts and no holds barred, and has been especially popularized by televised competitions.

Many view the style as a conglomeration of other styles, principally of those which address stand up striking and those which deal with grappling. This is understandable since its public debut began by pitting experts of one particular style against those of another, such as a grappler versus a striker.

At IMS however, MMA is seen as a seamless, holistic way to win given any set of circumstances. MMA participants at IMS become well versed not only in stand up and ground fighting, but in the ability to simultaneously transition between the two. With this view, MMA becomes one style, adapted to the individual, with other styles focusing on pieces of the whole.

Though it is taught in the context of competition, one need not be interested in pursuing an MMA match to learn these universal principles of fighting. If you are up to a challenge and not afraid to do it all, this is where it’s at.
