MMA Sport-2-Street



Austin Self Defense (ASD) MMA classes teach students the ins and outs of stand up and MMA ground techniques and everything in between. You will learn stand up strikes including punches, knees, elbows, kicks, strike defenses, counters, ring strategy, combinations, movement, baiting and more. MMA classes also cover takedowns, takedowns defenses and counters against takedown attempts. We also cover ground techniques such as striking a standing opponent, striking a downed opponent, striking on the ground, submissions, fall breaks when being taken to the ground, rising from the ground, rising and striking from the ground and much more.

These classes teach techniques as they apply to sanctioned ring fighting, but additionally cover options that can be used in street scenarios. There are no rules in street fighting so having the upper hand by training in and utilizing more aggressive maneuvers places our students in a dominant position should they have to defend against an attack by somebody who also has ring fighting experience.

MMA Classes are designed to cater to individuals with little to no experience as well as being just as informative and challenging to those having a martial arts background. We cater to both men and women who are excited and intrigued by the fast rising popularity of MMA, but do not necessarily have a desire to participate in MMA ring fighting.

MMA classes appeal to individuals with varying interests. If you are

1. Just curious about learning some basic MMA skills,

2. Are interested in using these skills for self defense purposes,

3. Interested in building confidence and losing weight and toning,

then Austin Self Defense MMA classes will appeal to you. Our MMA classes are upbeat, fun and educational.

ASD is a family environment with no egos or attitudes. Everybody is here for 1 reason – to learn and excel on a personal level.
