Morné Swanepoel's High Performance Mixed Martial Arts will expose you to the dynamics of Combat Athletics while exploring the stand up, clinch and ground fighting ranges which you see in 'No Rules' fighting events such as the UFC. Training is done against a resisting opponent in an 'alive' environment preparing those who would like to compete in the 'Cage Fighting' arenas and for those who would just like to reap the benefits in a friendly, fun and non-intimidating environment.
What is Mixed Martial Arts ?
Modern Mixed Martial Arts(MMA) emerged in 1993 with the Ultimate Fighting Championships, based on the concept of pitting different fighting styles against each other in competition with minimal rules, in an attempt to determine which system/martial art would be more effective in a real, unregulated combat situation. In the late 1990's and early 2000's, MMA competitions implemented additional rules for the safety of the athletes and to promote acceptance of the sport, while maintaining as much of the original no holds barred concepts as possible. Since these changes MMA has grown rapidly to the point of setting pay-per-view records with various organisations and competitions igniting the excitement in the world of Martial Arts again.

'The best fighter is not a Boxer, Karate or Judo man. The best fighter is someone who can adapt to any style. He kicks too good for a Boxer, throws too good for a Karate man, and punches too good for a Judo man' - BRUCE LEE
