Watching Mixed Martial Arts On TV Is Like Learning to Ride A Motorcycle From A Book- Sure,
A Book Gives You The Basic Idea But It Doesn’t Even Compare With

Read On To Discover Why So Many People Just Like You Have Started Training Mixed Martial Arts ...



 
 
  So, you think you understand the excitement and exhilaration of Mixed Martial Arts from watching shows like ‘The Ultimate Fighting Championship’ or ‘The Ultimate Fighter’?
     
  Sure, the television had introduced millions to the exciting world of Mixed Martial Arts competition but it will never get your blood flowing or make you “feel alive” like the real thing!
     
  Like most of my students who first walk through the door of Absolute Martial Arts, you may be thinking that you have to be insane to seriously train in MMA.
     
  Hey, you probably have a family and a good career or perhaps you just think you’re too old to experience the thrill and exhilaration of Mixed Martial Arts competition.
     
  And yes, with the right discipline and determination, the staff at Absolute Martial Arts can prepare a student to compete and win at the top levels—but that’s not why most people come through my door!

Let me just be brutally honest with you for one minute and if you think this is untrue or that I am wasting your time, then I don’t blame you for moving on. But honestly, why are you here?

Why do you like watching The Ultimate Fighting Championship—heck, why do you like watching a boxing match or a football game?

I’ll tell you why—because it gets your blood flowing for a change!

We live in a society that represses people’s natural instinct to physically compete for their survival. For thousands of years, people were forced to survive the elements and constantly adapt.

Now, we are not really challenged. We live day by day in quiet desperation for a challenge- a quest, so to speak. Something that will force us to go confront our #1 ENEMY – Comfort.

Yes, comfort is the culprit of the depression and the anxiety that most of us feel. We have trouble believing in our ability to overcome because we don’t challenge ourselves regularly. Thus, we don’t have the faith that we will overcome!
Look, none of us wants to go back to the days when we had to hunt for our food every night and I sure as heck don’t want to give up my SUV and start walking everywhere! But tell me that you don’t feel like something is missing in your life—can you? Does watching a football game or a fight on television fill that void—or does it actually make it worse? Most of the people coming to Absolute Martial Arts aren’t looking to become world champion fighters—they are just looking to reclaim their birthright and to FEEL ALIVE AGAIN!!

And hey—I am not even talking to just the men because a lot of women come through my door looking for the same excitement and confidence that comes from Mixed Martial Arts training. Honestly, this society has forced most of us to become virtual robots where we have jobs we despise, bills that never end, and a life that just plain feels empty at the end of the day—for both men and women!

Let’s face it: people were not meant to be stuck in office cubicles all day, commute for an hour or more back and forth to work, and then return home to sit on a couch to do little more than watch what life could be—instead of getting out there and living it! I’m sorry—but while I love watching The Ultimate Fighting Championships on television—it doesn’t even compare with going to the gym and actually sparring!

 
 

Yes, we are a family and that is precisely why we treat each and every member with the utmost respect regardless of their size, skill level, age, or sex. Sure, some of our members are indeed training to become professional Mixed Martial Arts Champions like the ones you see on TV.

But for the most part, our family consists of people just like yourself who simply want to learn self-defense, get into the best shape of their lives, and to feel alive again while having some fun in a place where they feel welcome.

 
 
As an active member in the Absolute Martial Arts family, you can expect to learn secrets that will help you enjoy your life more, including:
 
Staying Motivated and Focused To Attain Your Goals

Let's Talk About What’s so Different About
Learning MMA at Absolute Martial Arts St Louis ...
 
 
 

Our Students learn Techniques and Skills in the most effective Martial Arts !!! Our Mixed Martial Arts Students learn the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Western Boxing and our core striking art of Muay Thai Kick Boxing.

The synergistic blending of these fighting methods into one curriculum is the reason why some students drive up to 4 hours to come to practice every week.

We are not just a Jiu Jitsu school or a kickboxing gym.

Absolute Martial Arts instructs students to combine all the best martial arts styles into their own personal combat system.

Using this principle, our highly trained staff will first determine your current skill level and then develop a training program that will highlight your strengths and dramatically improve any weak areas until you are a well-oiled machine ready to take on whatever this world throws at you!

The Absolute Martial Arts System will teach you to master all three self-defense situations, including:

 
Striking and Counter striking
Ground and Pound Tactics
Submissions and Escapes
Takedowns and Defense
Combat Athletics (Strength and Conditioning for MMA)
When you train at our Academy you can rest assure that the skills that you are learning are second to none.
   
 
   
There are a few different training experiences that you may encounter, according to the feedback of students that have made Absolute their home for training.
   
You see they usually fall into one of four categories.
   
A grappling/wrestling or Jiu jitsu school that doesn’t have a stand up program or has an inadequate striking program
   
A kickboxing school that doesn’t have a grappling program or has an inadequate grappling program.
   
A school that is flat out lying to potential students and has no real credentials to teach either.
   
A School with a bunch of super hardcore fighters who do way too much sparring and don’t teach new students anything and push them into sparring before they are ready and they get hurt.
   
We are proud of the fact that we offer the highest level of instruction in both the grappling and striking arts.
   
We teach our students to Master all ranges of combat. You’ll be personally learning from the best instructors and competitors in the area.

Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:
 
When are classes?
We offer a wide variety of class times. Generally, classes are in the evening Monday through Friday. We also offer a morning schedule of classes. In addition, private lessons with our instructors are available by request.

Will I get injured?
A common misconception about MMA training is that to learn effective MMA, you have to get into wild and crazy sparring matches. NOTHING IS FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
At Absolute, most of our students have families and jobs and can't afford to leave the gym with black eyes! The grappling and sparring that is done at Absolute is done with utmost control and only when you are ready.

You will only be allowed to spar or “roll live” in BJJ and Grappling after an instructor gives you the “OK.” For MMA, you won’t be allowed to spar until you are invited into and we accept you into the highest-level program (that’s right, you have to get invited, fill out an application and get accepted before we even consider you sparring with us on the team). Acceptance into this more advanced program is based more on your attitude than on your skill level.

The idea is to train smart and have fun. Only our amateur and professional fighters do some hard sparring– but because they have to prepare for a cage fight. Safety is our number one focus and we want everyone to experience all the benefits of training in Mixed Martial Arts.

Is there a formal ranking system?
Absolute provides an organized curriculum for both the Muay Thai Kickboxing Class (stand-up fighting ) and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Class (ground fighting) programs. Testing is not mandatory, but recommended.

Testing is a great way for you to track your progress and also for our instructors to see what you need to work on and what your strengths are, too (after all it’s our job to turn you into the best possible student you can be).

Our ranking system is strict and only people deserving of being promoted will earn it. Absolute Martial Arts is all about setting goals, then working as hard as possible to achieve those goals – with no excuses. We just love to see our students succeed!

Will I being going directly into an ongoing class?
When you start out at Absolute Martial Arts, you will be going through a special introductory course. In this class, you will be learning Muay Thai Kickboxing, Ground and Pound, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

This class is designed to work at a pace that beginners can absorb. The beginner's class also takes into account that you may be totally out of shape - one of its principal designs is to get you into good shape and allow you to train harder in the next level.

We want you to develop the necessary fundamental skills and conditioning in the most efficient manner possible and we’ve found that this is the best and quickest way for our students to get maximum results in minimum time.
