MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts. It is a combat sport that combines several martial arts, such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, judo, wrestling, karate, (kick) boxing and so on. MMA is a multidisciplinary martial art. Many think that during MMA you can do anything, this of course is not true. If this were so, we wouldn't call it a sport! There are rules and we will teach you these rules during the MMA classes in Hilversum.
The most important thing during classes at Burning Heart is to have respect for each other, our trainer will always emphasize this as well.
In the beginning you can borrow MMA gloves from us. Class is barefoot and you may wear whatever you feel comfortable in. All you need to bring is your positive energy!
Burning Heart has a separate section in the building for taking MMA classes. This beautiful space is called the budo dojo, budo stands for Japanese martial arts. There is a large mat that is made for both standing and lying down for fine and safe training. The subfloor is 4 cm high and there is a banner over it so that we can easily disinfect the floor. Every day the room is completely cleaned!
