Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

Made famous by the Gracie family, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a martial art based on grappling and ground fighting techniques. The aim of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is to control and subdue a larger and stronger opponent through the use of superior techniques, leverage, and body mechanics. With an emphasis on technical grappling rather than striking, students are able to practice with varying levels of intensity, decreasing the threat of serious injuries which can sometimes occur in other martial arts.

We train with progressive resistance in a fun, relaxed, and friendly environment. You will learn takedowns, pin escapes, sweeps (reversals), chokes, joint locks, and much more! Whether your goals are self-defense, competition, or just to have fun, there is a place for you at our gym!

Muay Thai & Boxing

Our Striking program consists of two main influences; Muay Thai & Boxing.  Muay Thai Kick Boxing; the art and science of eight limbs, is quickly being recognized as the most complete and beneficial striking art for the modern striker.  Muay Thai, translated into English as Thai Boxing, is the national sport of Thailand and is a martial art with origins in the ancient battlefield tactics of the Siamese army.  Thai training methods develop devastating power, insurmountable speed, and superb cardiovascular endurance. 

This class is for people interested specifically in stand-up fighting, or for those looking to compliment their ground game.  Striking classes are structured with a cardio warm-up, 30 minutes of technique and drilling taught by our world-class certified Muay Thai Instructors, and 30 minutes of high-intensity rounds ranging from pad work, to heavy-bag work, to sparring.

Ajarn Ryan Gruhn has led a number of fighters into the ring and onto successful and winning careers in Muay Thai. Whether you are looking to compete, or looking for a great work-out, this is the place for you!

Youth Martial Arts

Our mission with Youth Martial Arts is to provide a character development program to the area's youth through martial arts. We want to provide children with a constructive outlet for their energy while gaining the attributes and qualities parents strive for in their children.

We specialize in strengthening students self confidence, discipline, focus, leadership skills, respect for others, perseverance and integrity all while giving them an activity which will physically challenge their bodies and mentally stimulate their minds. This combination leads to a program which drives students to work hard and set goals not only in martial arts but in all walks of life.

For ages 5+ this class is meant to fulfill the active needs that youth have throughout their school years. We strive to have a Martial Arts class full of fun, friends and fitness! The classes are filled with physically challenging and mentally stimulating material that is catered to all ages of the youth program.

In Youth Martial Arts we use our Martial Arts as a means of enriching our lives and helping our bodies and minds grow. Because of this we do not use our Martial Arts to hurt other people. In Youth Martial Arts, we view all techniques that the youth learn as tools, not weapons. The students are rewarded for their efforts via the belt ranking system where the children can achieve the rank of black belt.

Reality Based MMA

Reality Based Mixed Martial Arts focuses on the arts and techniques known to be successful in resolving real life situations. Rather than focusing on Sport Fighting (one on one), RBMMA looks at fighting when there are no rules which can lead to multiple attackers, weapons and many other variables. As such, RBMMA trains students to learn the difference between sport oriented techniques and survival oriented techniques. This class is for the person interested in the sport side of Mixed Martial Arts but training it for real life situations.

RBMMA pulls influences from all of the arts inside MMA (Muay Thai, Boxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu) but also gives credit to the Filipino Martial Arts, Krabi-Krabong, Burmese Boxing, Silat and other weapon oriented arts. Additionally, in most real life situations weight classes are not an option. We make sure to train as such where everyone trains with everyone regardless of size or skill level.

This class is taught by Guro Ryan "Guard Dog” Gruhn; a Dog Brothers Martial Arts and in Filipino Martial Arts (Kali / Escrima / Silat / Arnis) under the Inosanto lineage. Guro Guard Dog has fought at multiple Gatherings and has ended a number of his fights in multiple organizations by submission, KO and TKO.

Mixed martial arts

Our Mixed Martial Arts class synergizes the four key elements of today's popular "Mixed Martial Arts" as seen in the UFC. These four elements are Boxing, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling.

While other local programs clump all of these areas into one class only a few days a week, we like to ensure you are getting top level instruction in each area by instructors who specialize in each discipline. Students in the MMA program take classes in Muay Thai, Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and Wrestling, in order to really be able to hone-in on each skill set. This ultimately builds fighters who are well rounded, and avoids the "Jack of all trades, master of none" paradox.

Our programs have become second to none in increasing strength and lean muscle, while maintaining a high energy, fun environment! Through repetitive punching and kicking in our striking classes, our students develop significant strength in their shoulders, arms, chest, legs, hips and buttocks.

Our Jiu-Jitsu program also offers an all-over strength make-over, focusing primarily on the core muscle groups. Through continuous give-and-take of body weight, transitions between positions, and resistence between holds and submissions, your stomach, chest, and back go through a strength transformation like no other.

Flexibility

As we get older, decreases in flexibility can often make even day-to-day activities seem unnecessarily taxing. Our programs at CPAMMA will increase flexibility in all fitness levels. Each class is structured with a warm-up taylored to loosen joints and relax muscles. Students start at a level that is most complimentary to their flexbility level, and progress only when they are ready.

Technical Ability

All of the classes at Central PA Mixed Martial Arts are taught by certified instructors. Though our instructors have been incredibly successful and competitive in their perspective arts, they have also gone through years and years of teacher training, to assure the highest quality instruction in every class. Each class at CPAMMA begins with 30 minutes of technique. Technical mastery is top priority to us, as it is absolutely necessary in order to achieve a safe, high-intensity, and successful martial arts experience.
