MMA (Mixed Martial Arts)

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) has become a very popular term in the sport arena.  It is where two individuals of similar weight will box and grapple with one another until the other is knocked out or submits to the other.  MMA is a sport and has little to do with traditional Martial Arts.  Many strikes and targets are not allowed in an MMA bout as they are too dangerous for sport use.

It can be said that one can learn the theory and concepts of MMA at Monk Wise Academy, we have trained students who have competed in MMA events,  however one cannot learn traditional martial arts training specifically in MMA.

The Chinese Martial Arts have been a “mixed” martial arts program for over 1500 years. Utilizing circular blocks, direct strikes, grabbing, sweeping, throwing, joint locking, pressure point techniques, chi (energy) development and use. As well as utilizing the use of many weapon types. Being a complete system of self defense and not merely a martial style offers many benefits. A smaller, weaker person or even those with disabilities can use an array of time tested techniques effectively to defend themselves and those around them.
