The importance of breath control: we will learn to manage our breathing when we are under pressure, in both attacking and defending situations.

We will train timing and core control.

Wrestling for MMA

No, don't turn up to class in a mask, because this isn't wrestling with Hulk Hogan!

This fighting style is increasingly popular and more useful than modern MMA, a true link between striking (kicks, punches, etc.) and ground fighting. Don't worry about strength: we'll focus on the basics, on balance and on how to use your body weight intelligently.

TEACHER BIOGRAPHY

My journey into martial arts began as a child and I have practised several disciplines, but my real martial passion is Yoseikan Budo, a versatile discipline that allowed me to compete in MMA and Wrestling, earning me a place in the National team and a chance to take part in two European Championships.

After more than ten years of teaching, though, I've come to understand that titles are only part of the story. My real goal today is not just to teach people how to fight, but to help them become better people through sacrifice and discipline. I teach to pass on the passion that made me the man I am today: I try not to build only athletes, but to train the character to face life's challenges, on and off the tatami.
