MMA or Mixed Martial Arts is a full contact combat sport that blends techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai and Wrestling enabling you to both strike and grapple with your opponent whilst standing and on the ground. In recent years, MMA has become the go to sports for many of us, not just the pros.
If you live around Sudbury and want to give it a go, we have a friendly group of people in Sudbury who train together at Zest Gym Sudbury with Tsunami Suffolk MMA every Friday and often we end up in town for drinks and talk fights, UFC and everything in-between (contrary to popular beliefs, we don’t have fights in front of the kebab shop!)
Simon who takes the MMA class is very knowledgable and have years of experience. Although the sessions are hard work and involve a lot of up-close fighting techniques, you’ll be paired with someone who is the same level as you. The first 45 minutes we go over techniques and the second 45 minutes some of us have a light roll. You don’t have to be a member at Zest, you can always pay per class. There are plenty of gloves at the gym, so just bring yourself here and once you get the hang of it you can always get your own gear. If you have any questions about MMA, feel free to ask!
