At American Fighter MMA Training Center we value neither brute
strength nor aggression. We value the "Art" in Mixed Martial Arts. We
see the evolution of becoming a martial artist as a life-changing process which
forces the student to focus the mind and train the body. It is as much a mental
journey as a physical one.
American Fighter covers everything. Our programs provide detailed training in each specific art or offer the fusion that is Mixed Martial Arts. You can develop your stand-up skills in our extensive Muay Thai program or work your ground game with Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu. These programs are battle proven and tested by our UFC fighters such as Rich Franklin, Matt Hammil, Waylon Lowe, and Dustin Hazelette.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)

Arts (MMA) is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. MMA is a full

including striking and grappling. American Fighter MMA program focuses on

Muay Thai
Known as the king of the ring, Muay Thai
is the national sport of Thailand. Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) includes kicking and
punching as well as devastating elbow and knee strikes. For this reason, Muay
Thai is sometimes called the science of the eight limbs.
Muay Thai is one of the best sports for
physical conditioning. It is also known for having the strongest kick in the
martial arts. Thai boxing students learn to move fluently between kicking,
punching, knee, elbow and clinching ranges.
