Ground Fighting, etc.

So our newest change in our programs at ATA Elkton is our FIT and "MMA" curriculum.  I wanted to make sure our athletes had a solid program to become stronger and then an all-around better MMA program.  That's why I certified in Combat Wrestling and I find as many opportunities to train in Self Defense and Higher Contact Martial Arts.  Anyway, we have been competing in Ground Fighting for about a year, at only a few tournaments.  Mr. Morgan sent me the link to this video of this kid who is awesome.  Not just for his age but just dominates these other kids!  Check it out!



More substantial posts coming soon :)

Videos, Videos, Videos

Over the past 2 months I've been working on a ton of videos to go with all the curriculum that we have updated at ATA Elkton.  It's a lot of work to do but once it's done all the instructors and students will be able to use the videos as a training tool to become the highest levels of martial arts athletes.

     I'm working on these videos for all the students that want to sharpen up their Bo Staff form.  I found that 3rd Degrees get the least attention in 2nd and 3rd Degree class so they need a way to practice at home and drills for class.

Combat Wrestling Videos -
    The Ground Fighting and MMA class has been evolved to start training in Combat Wrestling.  Combat Wrestling stresses the use of Greco Roman Wrestling for close quarter combat. We have also utilized all aspects of sport wrestling’s ground control positions for ground and pound and scramble ability.  We've enhanced our self-defense in TaeKwonDo classes with Combat Wrestling skills and updated our MMA system this way too!

I hope everyone really works hard in class over the next 12 months and enjoys the changes we've made to our programs!
