Common Questions
At Creighton Mixed Martial Arts Academy safety is paramount. Accidents can happen, as in any other sport, but we pay close attention to safety and take extra precautions so that training is not only realistic but safe and enjoyable.
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts can provide you with far more extensive results than typical aerobic exercise. The resistance encountered while training in BJJ and MMA provides you with a good base to improve your core strength through intense abdominal work, increases your muscle tone, and reduces body fat while improving your balance, bodily coordination, cardiovascular capacity, and muscular endurance.
Our Mixed Martial Arts Striking class consists of students learning how to blend many different martial arts together to become a complete fighter. The arts that you will learn in this class are Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing, Wrestling / Judo and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.
Our classes are not only for individuals that are looking to fight. Actually, most of the students at Creighton MMA Academy are not looking to fight in MMA competitions. Most of our student enrollment signs up because they want to learn an effective self defense system and get into great shape at the same time. If a student does want to eventually fight in MMA competitions then they will have to get to a certain rank and level before they will be able to do so.
