Elite Martial Arts - Bellevue

Most of people who train in MMA gyms never enter the ring and don’t possess a genuine street fighting skill set. We’ll teach you how to defend yourself inside and outside the gym using Submission Grappling, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Krav Maga.

The stand up game consists of Muay Thai and Krav Maga. Muay Thai is a combination of western boxing with the use of knees, elbows and kicks. Krav Maga is the hand to hand combat system taught to the Israeli Military. It involves all of the head butt, eye gouge, and groin strike techniques that are illegal in MMA competition but necessary for a comprehensive self protection skill set.

Krav Maga also covers defense against club/knife attacks. However, stand up techniques are only half of the self protection game.

Our Submission Grappling class covers takedowns, takedown defense, positioning, sweeps, reversals, submissions and chokes. Strategy changing scenarios such as multiple opponents and weapons are also discussed here.
