We Are the BEST Place to Train MMA in Nashville! Come prove it to Yourself FREE for 30 Days!
Dear Friend, I want to personally thank you for visiting the website of the first school to teach MMA in Nashville. Since the very first day our doors opened we have had students competing in Mixed Martial Arts fighting also known as “Vale Tudo” or “MMA”. If you are truly interested in training MMA in Nashville you’ve found the right place. There are many schools claiming to be able to train you in Mixed Martial Arts or MMA in Nashville but you need to be very careful. Many of these instructors have never fought in a MMA event ever or trained a MMA fighter at a high level. Anyone can throw a fighter into a local event and say that they do Mixed Martial Arts but you should want something better for yourself. Whether you choose our school or not make sure that you choose a school that has a proven record to help you reach your goals.
MMA in Nashville is a Growing Sport
With the increased interest in The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), The Hit Reality Show “The Ultimate Fighter” and Mixed Martial Arts hitting the mainstream people finally are getting to see what this style of fighting is really about. MMA in Nashville is very popular. When Elite XC, now Strikeforce, held their CBS event, Nashville had the highest ratings in the country. When the UFC had their Fight Night at the arena, Nashville had the largest crowd of any UFC Fight Night. Events like the UFC and Strikeforce are able to have MMA in Nashville due to the efforts of Nashville MMA. Nearly 5 years ago Nashville MMA began to push for the legalization of Mixed Martial Arts in Tennessee. It made no sense why they should travel to other states when they should be able to fight MMA in Nashville. It took a while to build up steam, but with the help of partners like the FedEx Forum, as well as our friends in the legislature, specifically, Senator Doug Jackson, Representative Joe Towns, Representative Mike Turner, and Representative Curry Todd, we were able to legalize MMA in Nashville and the rest of Tennessee.
I DON’T WANT TO FIGHT. I JUST WANT TO TRAIN
NO PROBLEM MMA competition isn’t for everyone. But if you have an interest in training MMA in Nashville, want to train at a school that can prepare you for MMA competition or just want to experience the great mental and physical rush that comes with MMA training we can help. Now it’s a fact that MMA Fighting is a very demanding sport for those that plan to actually step into the cage or ring one day. This is a fact. But at Ed Clay’s Nashville Mixed Martial Arts Academy we also have many students that have absolutely no plans, hopes or desires to get into the cage to fight but rather the incredible experience of training MMA in Nashville. At the same time you’ll be able to train along side with our professional and amateur fighters, you’ll be able to do the same workouts without getting hit. But don’t be surprised if you get asked one day to throw some punches at the pro’s in a special training drill we do sometimes where you can hit them but they can’t hit you back. This drill is used to make the pro’s work on their defensive skills and allows the student to get into the mix without getting hit. Also, no matter if you want to get into the cage or not all new students have to go through the basic training phase before they are permitted to participate in the more intense workouts.
We Teach REAL MMA in Nashville
We teach the most effective stand up and ground fighting techniques on EARTH!!! Our Mixed Martial Arts Students learn the arts of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Wrestling, Western Boxing and our core striking art of Muay Thai Kick Boxing. When you train at our Academy you can rest assure that the skills that you are learning are second to none. Let me explain. You see many schools that proclaim to have a Mixed Martial Arts program are what we call “Jack of All Trades, Master’s At None Schools”. You see they usually fall into one of three categories. 1. A grappling school that doesn’t have a stand up program or has an inadequate striking program. 2. A striking school that doesn’t have a grappling program or has an inadequate grappling program. 3. A school that is flat out lying to potential students and isn’t good at either striking or grappling. Add to that the new trend of school owners who have a black belt in Karate and a little wrestling background claiming to be “black belts in MMA” and it is easy to be duped into sub par programs. Ed Clay’s Nashville MMA knows to effectively be able to compete in high-level events “YOU MUST” be able to compete effectively while standing and on the ground. We are proud of the fact that we offer the highest level of instruction in both the grappling and striking arts. Our athletes are able to compete in Mixed Martial Arts, Thai Boxing, Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and high-level Grappling events. We teach our students to Master all ranges of combat. You’ll be personally learning from brazilian jiu jitsu/grappling champions, Thai Boxing Champions and the best instructors and competitors of MMA in Nashville. You’ll become a multi dimensional athlete.
BECOME A “COMBAT ATHLETE”
At Ed Clay’s Nashville MMA we have a special program for the student that is interested in fighting MMA in Nashville. We call it our “Combat Athlete Program” Our Combat Athlete program is an invitation only program for those who want to compete in MMA. Candidates will have trained in either our Combat Thai or BJJ program for several months and show both an understanding of the basics, as well as certain attributes we look for in a fighter such as: 1. Capacity to learn- there is too much information to cover for those who “don’t get it” 2. Respect for the instructor and others- confidence is essential, ego is crippling 3. Devotion to the Team- our fighters are so good because they have a great team to train them 4. Incredible work ethic- Raw talent is great, but it will only get you to certain point. Even if you are the best in the world, there is someone working hard to the best and who will raise the bar. 5. Attitude- whiners stay home We produce some of the best fighters of MMA in Nashville, the United States and the World. Our fighters compete in Strikeforce, the UFC, GFC, and many other organizations. On January 7, 2011 Nashville MMA had 7 fighters on the Strikeforce Challengers Card. Six came home victorious. Everyone enrolled in the combat athlete program will be invited to our special closed door training sessions. We have many classes for our pro fighters that aren’t on the schedule and the students enrolled on the combat athlete program will have exclusive access to these training sessions. You will be able to participate to the level of your skill, or you can just sit back and watch how champions train. All students that are training MMA in Nashville location that are interested in Mixed Martial Arts “MUST” train in both striking and grappling.
