MMA in Konyaaltı

What is MMA?
Mixed martial arts (MMA) combines stand-up disciplines like Muay Thai and boxing with wrestling and ground work. It's the most complete combat sport, so it develops conditioning, strength and technical range all at once.
At our MMA gym in Konyaaltı, classes teach basic striking, takedown defence, positional control and escapes step by step. Sparring and controlled partner work are done by level and with protective gear.
MMA classes are led by Doğukan Siler: Turkey National Muay Thai Team Coach and Member of the Muay Thai Technical Committee for Minis and Juniors. Your group and pace are set together with the coach; technique is corrected one-on-one in every class.
