Get your kicks at local MMA gym

Mixed martial arts, better known as MMA, are fundamental skills in striking, grappling, wrestling and the transitions from skill area to skill area. The owner and head instructor at Lightning Kicks, Master Amir Killah, has deep insight on the importance of self-defense, the benefits of MMA training and the overall mission of Lightning Kicks.

He preached the most important part of learning self-defense is that, “you will not have to use it”.

“Those who are knowledgeable in defending themselves carry themselves a different way than those who do not,” Killah said also.

Adding that those who want to inflict harm are predators looking for easy prey, and carrying yourself with the knowledge of self-defense can help to have you avoid conflict in general.
