Classes at ACE MMA include kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), and kids programmes. The kickboxing classes focus on striking techniques such as punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. Students develop their technique, power, and fitness through pad work, light contact drills, and controlled sparring.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes teach the gentle yet highly effective martial art that primarily focuses on grappling. Both No-Gi (any sportswear) and Gi (Kimono Gi and Belt) classes are offered. Students learn how to control opponents from various positions and execute submissions.
The MMA classes at ACE MMA cover all aspects of the sport, combining the striking techniques from kickboxing with the grappling techniques from BJJ. These classes are suitable for individuals who have a good grasp of both kickboxing and grappling.

The trial is open to individuals of all ages, with kids programmes available for children aged 4-13.
