Battle Ground MMA
Our Styles
-
Kickboxing and K1
A martial art form that combines boxing and kicking from low kicks to head height. We teach students from beginners through to their blackbelt and beyond, as well as fighters who want to step into the ring.
-
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian jiu jitsu is a combination of grappling, ground fighting and submission holds. We teach both Gi and No-Gi classes giving students a strong foundation in both. We have fundamental classes and can grade all the way to black belt, and support those who want to compete.
-
Mixed Martial Arts
A combat sport where students use a mix of fighting techniques from wrestling, boxing, kickboxing and K1. Ideal for those who already have a foundation in Kickboxing/K1 and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, we support beginners through to fighters who want to go all the way.
-
Wrestling
Wrestling is primarily grappling techniques, including takedowns, throws, pins, and holds, aiming to dominate or control the opponent. The objective often involves forcing the opponent to touch the ground with a part of the body other than the feet, holding them in a specific position, or achieving points through controlled manoeuvres.
At Battle Ground MMA we have classes for children from 4 years of age through to teenagers. Our younger students have a choice of Kickboxing and K1, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts. We progress students through grading and belts, as well as giving them opportunities to compete. Get in contact to enquire about our classes that run through the week Monday-Saturday.
As a part of our student classes we work on self-esteem, confidence and resilience. We are in affiliation with Evolutionary Mindset Ltd (specialist providers in mentoring and psychology) who have developed a bespoke character development programme for our students. This includes a word of the month that we focus on, talk times with the students and a homework sheet once a month.
For our adults we have classes Monday-Saturday in the styles of Kickboxing and K1, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts. As well as new beginners every day we have members who have been with us for several years and achieved their black belts through our grading system, and fighters who are competing across the country.
