MMA for the Ring, Cage, or Street Seminar
MMA for the Ring Cage or Street Seminar
WHEN
April 20th 12-3pm
WHERE
Primitive Fitness
14740-D Flint Lee Rd., Chantilly, VA.
AT THIS AMAZING SEMINAR YOU WILL LEARN:
How to combine punches, kicks and takedowns
How to throw punches, elbows and knees from practically any position on your feet, clinching or on the ground
How to keep the fight standing if you're a striker
How to take the fight to the ground if you're a grappler
How to submit your opponents
How to escape from some of the worst positions in MMA
Train with professional Muay Thai, Boxing, Submission Grappling and MMA coach Dave Carter. He will teach how to blend striking with submissions. Learn the HIGHEST percentage combos for MMA to set up kicks, knees, elbows, AND takedowns and learn how dominate from the top with strikes and submissions. On the opposite side you're going to learn how to defend takedowns to keep things standing, and how to escape the most horrible ground positions. This seminar is for new and experienced - If you've never trained MMA before then this is for YOU!!! Learn the WHOLE game!!!
I've been asked a few questions from various strikers and grapplers about the seminar so I want to go over the overriding focus. The focus of the seminar is going to be raising peoples "fight IQ".
Showing strikers how to stay standing and if need be go for a takedown and finish, and for the grapplers to set up a takedown with strikes, or be able to outstrike a superior grappler.
For new people it will just be an intro to the whole game and then they can pick what part to develop.
