PROGRAMS
DUTCH-STYLE KICKBOXING
This exciting fighting style incorporates the best of both worlds – the grace and precision of Muay Thai and the raw power of Western boxing. One of the reasons that Dutch-style kickboxing has become so popular among accomplished MMA athletes is that it offers a unique and highly effective combination of multi-layer attacks with kicks, punches and knees.
Dutch-style kickboxing is a great workout for people of all levels of fitness. It promotes good cardiovascular health, improves endurance, and builds confidence as well as physical and mental strength. But more importantly, it teaches discipline, perseverance, respect, and humility – values that are essential not just in the ring, but in life as well. Our Dutch-style kickboxing program is designed by our head coach Siyar Bahadurzada who has more than two decades of experience in this art and has helped athletes become world champions in Kickboxing at the highest level of competition.
BRAZALIAN JIU JITSU/SUBMISSION GRAPPLING
Submission grappling is a beautiful and challenging art form that combines the physical prowess of wrestling with the technical intricacies of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This means that instead of relying on grabbing the fabric of an opponent’s uniform (Gi), athletes must learn to use their bodyweight, leverage and technique to outmaneuver and submit their opponents.
The art of submission grappling (No Gi) includes a wide variety of techniques that allow the practitioner to control their opponents using their own body weight and strength. This includes locks, chokes, throws, sweeps, and ground control techniques. These techniques are based on the principle of leverage and are highly effective, allowing even smaller fighters to take down larger opponents and control them. Therefore, Submission grappling, is a dynamic and intricate martial art that has captured the attention of self-defense enthusiasts as well.
Submission grappling (No Gi) is great for you as it helps you develop physical and mental strength. Through regular training, practitioners will improve their cardio, endurance, flexibility, and strength. Additionally, submission grappling promotes problem-solving, patience, perseverance and determination on the mat and outside the mat in real life situations.
Submission grappling is commonly used in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) for its practicality in a real-life scenario. It teaches athletes to be patient, strategic thinkers and to use their bodies in the most efficient and effective ways possible.
So, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a curious beginner, submission grappling is an art form that offers countless benefits for the mind, body, and spirit. It requires discipline, humility, and courage, and through the struggles and triumphs of training and competition, it can help you become the best version of yourself.
MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
Mixed martial arts (MMA) is the ultimate blend of artistry and physical combat, representing a beautiful and powerful display of various martial arts techniques. MMA is an intense mix of grappling, striking, and submission techniques, bringing together a wide range of different combat sports into one dynamic and exciting whole.
At our classes, we welcome martial artists of all levels, whether you are a seasoned professional or a complete beginner. We offer a safe, fun and supportive and inclusive environment where students can learn, grow, and challenge themselves to become the best fighters and individuals they can be. With our expert training and guidance, you too can experience the thrill and excitement of mixed martial arts and its unique blend of artistic and martial arts values.

SELF-DEFENSE
Our Self-defense program not only teaches you how to protect yourself from physical harm. It also focuses on building confidence, discipline, and mental fortitude to overcome any obstacle that life throws at you.
Incorporating self-defense into your daily life does not require you to be a black belt in martial arts. With proper training and guidance, mastery of self-defense techniques can be achieved by anyone. It’s essential to remember that self-defense is not about brute force, but rather about using the most effective combat techniques at the right time to protect yourself.
Another benefit of self-defense is the sense of empowerment that comes with it. Knowing that you can defend yourself against an attacker gives you a level of confidence that radiates in every aspect of your life. It helps you to build mental and emotional strength that empowers you to overcome any fear or anxiety.
Whether you are a male or female, young or old, self-defense is a crucial skill in these chaotic times that can save your life and the lives of your loved ones.
CHILDREN PROGRAM
The idea behind our children program (including our after-school program) at Elevate Mixed Martial Arts is to teach the kids life skills through martial arts. We believe our children program will help them become confident, bully-proof, respectful and disciplined young individuals with humility and honor.
Martial arts training is an opportunity for children to develop leadership skills and teamwork. It will also encourage kids to work together, communicate effectively, and develop problem-solving skills, all while learning to set goals and complete them. These qualities are essential for any successful child, and martial arts provides an effective means of developing them in your children.
Besides their physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, this program will also help them relief stress and enhance their self-defensive skills which will automatically translate into more confidence and self-control in all areas of their life.
CORPORATE PROGRAM
Corporate training is not just an investment in your employees; it’s an investment in the performance and success of your company. As a business leader, you know that a happy workforce is a productive workforce, and that mental and physical wellbeing translates into better results at work and at home.
Training martial arts provides an opportunity for your employees to develop both their mental and physical wellbeing. The discipline and focus required in martial arts instill a sense of motivation and drive in individuals that can be applied in all areas of life. According to a study by Forbes, employees who participated in activities like martial arts showed a 28% reduction in stress levels and a 23% boost in confidence. These employees were also able to focus better, had increased productivity, and felt more engaged in their work.
Beyond mental and physical health benefits, martial arts training is an opportunity for employees to develop leadership skills and teamwork. It will also keep their life in balance and relief stress which will translate into productivity and focus at work.
