A Woodbridge MMA academy specializes in teaching a range of disciplines. Here are some commonly asked questions that arise from novices considering study.
Can my kids learn MMA?
Yes. Classes start from a very young age.
Does this training encourage violence in youngsters?
To the contrary, reputable MMA instructors teach self-control, self-discipline and a fundamental respect for others as part of the curriculum from day one. Violence plays no part in the martial arts – it is not the same thing as a controlled and proportional physical response in self-defense situations. If any pupil showed signs of being unable to master their own emotions and responses as a pre-requisite, their further training may be suspended and re-considered.
Could participants get hurt?
Yes possible – the risks here may be relatively minor if the instructors are expertly qualified but any activity that involves physical exercise could, in some situations, result in injury. However, Instructors are familiar with basic first-aid techniques.
Why is there such emphasis on mental discipline?
Every athlete knows that it is possible to hit a metaphorical performance 'wall' that stops you achieving more. This is often more of a mental constraint than a physical limitation. Sometimes similar issues arise in martial arts, though the analogy isn't perfect because at a Woodbridge MMA center the emphasis is on continual incremental spiritual growth and maturity rather than simply overcoming a short-term mental inhibitor for a short period of time.
Will the training make me better at fighting?
Yes but this isn't the primary point. The term 'fighting' is deeply misleading because it may, in some contexts, have implications of violence. MMA is about the growth and development of the individual, recognizing that as part of that, personal security and self-confidence is important. Of course, the skills learned might have to be deployed in situations where you are being attacked and involved in "a fight" for reasons beyond your control. In such circumstances, your skills may help others or prevent serious injury to you and the training concentrates on real combat techniques for such conditions. A better way of putting it might be "help you defend yourself and others more effectively". These disciplines do not exist, and will not be taught, to help people better indulge in mayhem.
What techniques will I lean?
Space doesn't allow a full answer here but the emphasis in MMA is on practical real-life scenarios and combat techniques. Some martial arts may be very well suited to formal contests, demonstrations and dojo (school) environments but perhaps are less suited for a sudden crisis on the street. Some MMA approaches, such as Jeet Kune Do, were developed originally by Bruce Lee specifically for their practical applicability in a confrontation. A Woodbridge MMA center will help you to master whatever practical techniques you are interested in, with one eye on the fact that one day they may be all that stands between you and a serious assault.
