Our program was developed by lead MMA instructor and professional UFC fighter John “The Bull” Marsh. These classes stress no-nonsense training in all ranges of fighting: kicking, punching, clinching and ground fighting. Students learn stance, footwork and striking techniques, plus defense, grappling, takedowns, tackles, throws, positioning/controls, escapes/reversals and finishes/submissions.

Elite Training Center of Redondo Beach, California in the south bay teaches Mixed Martial Arts as a safe sport with rules, discipline, honor and respect and strength. Training for MMA builds strong bodies and minds. “There is honor in tapping out,” signaling submission in a MMA context.

In addition to teaching Mixed martial Arts as a sport Elite Training Center teaches the practical self-defense techniques associated with Mixed Martial Arts. The strikes and softer techniques such as joint locks can serve to dissuade a potential threat in the streets. Some students use the MMA classes to augment their self-defense training. By the same token, some students use classes like Kickboxing to enhance their MMA combat skills.
