Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is the premier form of competition for hand-to-hand combative arts. Pairing two athletes against each other, MMA allows competitors to pit their arts and abilities against one another in the most primal way possible. We here at Horizon Martial Arts are committed to preparing anyone looking for the ultimate challenge with the all the necessary tools to successfully engage in competition.

With certified professional instructors, Horizon Martial Arts offers some of the best instruction available in Western New York. Course curriculum includes a variety of striking and grappling arts to build competitors so that they will be fully prepared to compete both standing and on the ground.

The striking curriculum focuses primarily on Muay Thai, while incorporating concepts from Western Boxing, Savate, and Jeet Kune Do. Grappling in the MMA program is a blend of Sambo (Russian Judo), Catch Wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Affiliate School of Roberto Atalla – 3 time World Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Champion) to prepare competitors with a wide scope of grappling experience.

The Horizon Martial Arts MMA program encourages participants at all levels of experience with a friendly and professional training environment. Students will enjoy a true “team” atmosphere as they push each other toward success and growth in training. Also, students are encouraged to compete at various nationally ranked events alongside their classmates and instructors.

While the primary objective of the Horizon Martial Arts MMA program is to train combat athletes for competition, students do not have to compete in order to participate and experience growth in the program. Combat athletes are some of the highest physically conditioned people in the world. If you’re looking for a program that will get you in tremendous shape, and you have the desire to learn functional combat tactics along the way – then this program is what you’ve been looking for.

With the rise in popularity of pay-per-view events like Pride Fighting Championships™, Ultimate Fighting Championships™, and the smash reality show “The Ultimate Fighter”™, MMA is undeniably the latest athletic craze. If you think you’re up to the challenge, the MMA Program at Horizon Martial Arts is for you.
