TEAM NOGUEIRA TULSA - BEGINNER TO ADVANCED TRAINING IN MIXED MARTIAL ARTS DISCIPLINES

BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

Jiu-jitsu is a martial art using technique to overcome even superior strength of one’s opponent. In Japanese and Portuguese, Jiu-jitsu means “gentle art” because it uses body movement and positioning rather than striking to control and “submit” the opponent. The sport is more similar to wrestling than boxing and has been described as the part of a fight that occurs after the clinch. Recently, jiu-jitsu has become immensely popular as it is the one mat skill necessary for fighters in the UFC.

MUAY THAI

Muay Thai is known as "King of the Ring" in kickboxing circles. These fights feature punches, kicks, elbows, knees, standing grappling and head-butts to wear down and knock out their opponent. Thai training methods develop devastating power, speed and superb cardio-vascular endurance as well as fighting spirit. Muay Thai training as also quite safe thanks to sophisticated pad training that evolved to keep fighters healthy between fights. Muay Thai has also proven very effective outside the ring and has been embraced enthusiastically by practitioners of a variety of self-defense, sporting, military and law enforcement activities.

BOXING

Throughout the 17th through 19th centuries, boxing bouts were motivated by money, as the fighters competed for prizes, promoters controlled the gate, and spectators bet on the result. The modern Olympic movement revived interest in amateur sports, and amateur boxing became an Olympic sport in 1908. There have been accounts of boxing matches dating back to the 1st century. In their current form, Olympic and other amateur bouts are typically limited to three or four rounds, scoring is computed by points based on the number of clean blows landed, regardless of impact, and fighters wear protective headgear, reducing the number of injuries, knockdowns, and knockouts. Professional boxing remains by far the most popular form of the sport globally, though amateur boxing is dominant in Cuba and some former Soviet republics. For most fighters, an amateur career, especially at the Olympics, serves to develop skills and gain experience in preparation for a professional career. Boxing continues to develop in the Mixed Martial Arts as Boxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are the three main disciplines needed for the Professional MMA fighter today.
