Universal Method Martial Arts offers engaging and fun Mixed Martial Arts classes for individuals aged 6 years and above. Each student is encouraged to reach their maximum potential and our classes are designed with this philosophy in mind.
To start off, every class begins with a meditation session that helps clear the students' minds and energise them. This is followed by a thorough warm-up designed to increase blood flow and raise their core body temperature. It not only prepares them mentally but also helps prevent any injuries.
During the class, students practice basic technical movements to develop their structure and timing. As they progress, they engage in partner drills and pressure testing to enhance their skills in physical confrontation. Fitness training is also an integral part of our classes, allowing students to perform at their best even under pressure.
In addition to technical training, our classes also focus on self-defence scenarios. Students learn pre-arranged movements called Forms/Katas/Hyungs, which simulate real-life self-defence situations. As students advance, the complexity, and intensity of these movements increase.
We also prioritise groundwork techniques, including pins and break falling, to teach students how to safely negotiate falls and takedowns. Additionally, students learn pinning techniques to gain control over a downed opponent.
Sparring is incorporated into our training sessions, with a minimum amount of contact during kicking and punching exchanges. As the distance closes, students transition to grappling techniques. We also include wrestling to condition and improve ground fighting skills.
At the end of each class, students participate in cool-down exercises to reduce muscle soreness and lactic acid build-up. If needed, additional stretching may be performed before the closing meditation.
Classes are conveniently available on various days at Springwest Academy located on Browells Lane in Feltham, Middlesex. Join Universal Method Martial Arts at TW13 7EF for an exciting and rewarding Mixed Martial Arts experience.
