A Community Engagement Program of Central Baptist Church
Church MMA is a Community Engagement Program of Central Baptist Church in Aurora, Colorado. Training is free. Our program currently runs on Wednesdays and Fridays in two hour sessions from 3 P.M. to 9 P.M. The first hour is training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), and the second hour is training in striking. Please contact us to book your first session.
Regarding Jiu Jitsu, if you are unfamiliar with this form of martial art, it is the best form of martial arts for self defense. Jiu Jitsu is a Japanese phrase that translates to “the gentle art.” When you think of martial arts, you think of punching and kicking similar to techniques used in Karate and Tae-Kwon-Do. Like Judo, there is no punching or kicking; it is a grappling and ground fighting art. What makes Jiu Jitsu unique is that it can safely be practiced with training partners, whereas striking styles can only be used in real life situations as someone may get hurt. In Jiu Jitsu, you have the ability to constantly test techniques in this evolving martial art. Rather than relying on size and strength, a smaller person can use Jiu Jitsu by leveraging and joint manipulation to defeat a bigger, stronger person. Most street fights end up on the ground which is where the Jiu Jitsu is taught and practiced.
Our BJJ Fundamentals program teaches essential offsensive and defensive techniques from the core positions. You will start to build a foundation for competitive sport Jiu Jitsu and learn self defense techniques for real life situations.
Our striking system is unique and innovative and a perfect balance of Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Kickboxing, and Dutch K1. We teach the fundamentals so that you have a strong foundation in striking.
Integration: Once the student has developed a strong foundation in BJJ and striking, the two are combined to make a complete and well-rounded MMA fighter.
We invite and encourage students and parents alike to train together. We can say from experience that this is a fantastic bonding time for the family, so we would encourage families to train together! We do train in pairs and, starting out, it is helpful to have partners that are roughly the same size, so if you have a "partner of choice" that is available to come with you, then that is great.
Ready to train? Reach out to us! We're here to help you get started on your MMA journey.
