The MMA training is structured and held by the head coach, Magial Ray Elbe. And here is his own words about the training he delivers:
“I approach MMA from an educators point of view. Students have to understand things from the inside out, you have to be able to break your toy…and put it back together.
I encourage my students to keep daily journals of their progressive improvement. I want them to examine their games daily, creating mental flow charts of options available during the fight. Explanation of techniques given in class, are always done in a linking, continuous-flow type of enviornment which allows students to quickly grasp the idea of thinking several moves ahead of their opponent.
MMA isn’t about being the best Muay Thai fighter, or the best Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter. MMA is about being able to integrate the most valuable techniques from every practical fighting style available and blending them together to produce a high breed combative form”
