MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Mixed martial arts sometimes inaccurately referred to as “cage fighting”, is a full-contact combat sport based on striking, grappling and ground fighting, made up from various combat sports and martial arts from around the world.

In 1993, the Gracie family brought Brazilian jiu-jitsu, developed in Brazil in the 1920s, to the United States by founding the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) MMA promotion company. The company held an event with almost no rules, mostly due the influence of Art Davie and Rorion Gracie attempting to replicate Vale Tudo fights that existed in Brazil and would later implement a different set of rules (example: eliminating kicking a grounded opponent), which differed from other leagues which were more in favour of realistic fights.

We now have an complete MMA program. When you join TEAM PBC, you have access to striking (boxing and Muay Thai), BJJ and Wrestling classes that are all run by specialists in their own arts. We can get you fit, or even get you in the cage with more skill than you thought possible.
