Daniel V. says, "At first, I was hesitant about attending Sifu Moy's Wing Chun seminar. My initial impression of Wing Chun wasn’t the best—I assumed it was all about blocking with little power behind the moves. But after watching Sifu Moy demonstrate, something clicked. I realized that the techniques he taught could be seamlessly integrated into my existing martial arts practice, taking it to a level I never imagined possible. Sifu Moy is an incredible instructor. He breaks down techniques without making you feel criticized or discouraged. If you're familiar with another martial art, he explains how Wing Chun approaches the same situations, highlighting both the benefits and limitations. One of his key teachings is the concept of the "tree"—limbs represent principles, and branches represent techniques. In his class, you learn the "limbs" (the principles), which allows you to create the "branches" (techniques) on the spot. I’m truly grateful for what I’ve learned from him, and I know there’s more to come. If you're serious about growing in martial arts, I highly recommend checking him out." Read more

Your Martial Arts Classes questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

What is mixed martial arts (MMA)?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a full-contact combat spot that incorporates striking, footwork, and grappling techniques from boxing, wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and Muay Thai. Many MMA fighters also blend techniques from judo, karate, kung fu, kickboxing, and other martial arts.

Mixed martial arts competitions take place in an octagon-shaped ring, sometimes called a "cage", with fighters competing against others in their weight class. Fighters are free to punch, kick, knee, elbow, slam, and grapple their opponents. However, for safety purposes, biting, eye gouging, head butting, and certain other moves are against the rules.

How much do mixed martial arts classes cost?

Mixed martial arts classes cost $100 to $180+ per month on average, depending on the class age range, number of classes per week, combination of martial arts taught, and the coach's expertise and reputation. MMA gyms are typically more expensive if they have well-known coaches who are UFC champions on staff, with some membership fees reaching $300 per month.

Many MMA gyms offer a 1-day drop-in option for $10 to $20 to give you the chance to attend a class and see if the gym is right for you.

Is mixed martial arts good for self-defense?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is ideal for self-defense training because you'll learn a combination of skills and techniques to help you escape dangerous confrontations without injury. MMA's "no holds barred" style is often considered the closest to real-life fighting when compared to other martial arts.

However, MMA does not teach you techniques like knife defense or how to disarm an opponent with a weapon. MMA training is also geared toward dealing with only one attacker at a time.

What does mixed martial arts training help with?

Mixed martial arts (MMA) training incorporates strikes—including punches, knees, and elbows—short and long-range kicks, groundwork, and grappling. You'll also practice controlled and supervised sparring. This training provides a wide range of benefits:

  • Build your confidence
  • Improve your discipline
  • Get fit and increase your endurance
  • Improve your strength, balance, and flexibility
  • Reduce stress and improve your concentration

Where can I learn mixed martial arts near me?

Follow these tips to find the best mixed martial arts gym near you:

  • Research the instructors' competition record and reputation.
  • Read gym and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the gym offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the gym in person to confirm it is clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free one-day pass to take a class and ensure the gym is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before making any payments.

What questions should I ask mixed martial arts gyms?

Before deciding on an MMA gym, be sure to ask these questions:

  • Is the gym beginner friendly?
  • What kind of membership contracts do you offer?
  • Do you offer a free trial class or one-day pass?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • How many students do you have?
  • How many students are in a typical class?
  • What is the instructor's competition record?
  • What kind of uniform or clothing is required?
  • Do your students and instructors compete regularly?
  • How often do you clean your mats?

Reviews for Altamonte Springs martial arts classes

Recent success stories from people in the Altamonte Springs area.
James V.
My Wing Chun instructor, Sifu Moy, is an exceptional teacher because of his deep understanding of the art's foundations and his ability to convey that knowledge to students. He ensures that we start by mastering the fundamentals, emphasizing how the basic moves are like the limbs of a tree, providing stability and strength. From there, we learn to develop techniques that act as the branches, expanding our skills and allowing us to move fluidly. His structured approach builds a strong base, which is essential for progress in any martial art. What sets Sifu Moy apart is his patience and attention to detail. He doesn’t just teach techniques but takes the time to explain the philosophy and principles behind them, ensuring we grasp the "why" behind each move. When mistakes are made, he doesn’t criticize or make us feel discouraged. Instead, he uses those moments as teaching opportunities, helping us strengthen our understanding. This supportive environment allows students to grow confidently, without fear of judgment, which is invaluable for skill development. In addition to his expertise in Wing Chun, Sifu Moy helps us see how it enhances our abilities in other martial arts. He shows us that Wing Chun isn't just a standalone discipline but a way to improve our overall martial arts practice. His dedication to his students and his passion for teaching make him an outstanding instructor, and anyone looking to train in Wing Chun would be lucky to have him as a teacher.

I love how knowledgeable Aaron is. I'm a very technical person and had a lot of questions. Aaron was very patient and answered all of them. His technique is also great and I feel as though I can defend myself better than I've ever have because of what Aaron taught me.
