                This program is designed for those 16+ interested in MMA, both as a combat sport or simply as a fitness/conditioning experience. Both of which harmonize with one another perfectly, allowing the participants to garner such skills and cardiovascular levels that exceed the norm. The program will test both mind and body of the individual, which coincides with their ability to endure intense interval training along with acquiring the tools necessary to become stalwart and effective fighters. In other words, going the distance and tapping into the deeper self to bring out the warrior spirit that lays dormant in all of us. It’s there, trust and believe!

                Led by Yoel Ellen, who has fought for several fighting venues over the course of his MMA career since 2015, lend to his level of expertise and methodical understanding of “The Way”. Such venues include Extreme Cage Fighting (ECF, Queens NY), Asylum Fight League (Berlin NJ), Global Proving Grounds (GPG, Vorhees NJ) and Primal Fight Promotions (PFP, Princeton NJ).

Methods implemented by Skorpion Tribe MMA will be used throughout this program, as though the participant themselves were preparing for an MMA match, and should expect vigorous exercise, intense drills, and a well-rounded understanding of application. Loose fitting clothes are advised, shoes are optional, mouth guards will be needed at some point for eventual sparring sessions and investment in groin protection should be considered. This program is meant to better the individual, not to belittle but to empower, to have fun while training and turning sheep into wolves! (Keeping your sheep skin is optional! Wink!)
