Submission grappling, also known as no-gi or submission fighting, is a popular class at Fairfield MMA.

It combines techniques from catch wrestling, folk wrestling, judo, Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, ju-jitsu, and Sambo. Submission wrestlers or grapplers usually wear shorts, rash guards, speedos, or mixed short clothes for optimal performance.
Karate classes at Fairfield MMA follow the traditional Japanese system of unarmed combat. Practitioners learn to deliver and block blows using their hands and feet. Karate is performed barefoot in loose padded clothing, with a coloured belt indicating the level of skill. It involves both mental and physical training, making it an effective form of self-defence and a popular sport.
Boxing classes at Fairfield MMA are suitable for those who want to improve their striking skills and enhance their fitness level. Boxing is a combat sport where two people compete against each other, wearing protective gloves, in a boxing ring. The aim is to land and evade the most amount of strikes within a predetermined set of time. Regular boxing training has been proven to increase cardiovascular endurance, improve coordination, and build strength.
Kickboxing classes at Fairfield MMA are based on a combination of kicking and punching techniques. Historically developed from karate, boxing, and Muay Thai, kickboxing can be practised for self-defence, general fitness, or as a contact sport. It provides a full-body workout and helps improve overall strength, flexibility, and agility.
