Many students want a comprehensive training session which covers a multitude of fighting styles and also covers the very close range of fighting when someone grabs you, throws you or drags you to the ground. This must be practical and provide a good competitive workout for the student. Also a number of people are attracted to the martial arts after watching such shows as the Ultimate Fighter and UFC. To ensure that we cater for this area of training we have taken elements from a number of our other courses and put them together to ensure the students get the best workout possible. However as in all our courses we don't believe in creating our own style and have therefore structured the course heavily around the Filipino Pangamut, Kickboxing and also grappling. Tony Willis is a recognised WAKO MMA coach.

 For Competition we strongly support the WAKO organisation and their amateur MMA circuit which allows students a first step into MMA with a stricter rule set to allow the to develop the competition side within a more controlled environment.

At 5 Elements we teach a Mixed Martial Arts course based on a combination of Filipino Martial Art of Dumog (Grappling/Wrestling), Thai and Kickboxing techniques, Mantis limb destruction, Mantis locking and the Filipino Arts of Panatukan (Boxing), Luyog (Lock flows) and Gunting (Limb Destruction). We also include some elements using Gi (Clothing) training from my previous training in the Martial Arts such as additional throws and strangles.

This course is not an easy option and includes very physical training based predominantly around grappling flow drills with a partner and pad work. If you are looking for an intense practical workout then this is for you.
