TEAM BLAST is a professional team of individuals who like to take their martial art to the next level in competition. We compete in three types of competition: Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ).
Mixed Martial Arts
Now days all you need to do is turn on Spike TV to see a UFC and know that Mixed Martial Arts is the fastest growing sport in America. Recently 60 minutes did a feature on MMA and how its growth is exploding in America. MMA is a great sport to compete in provided you train professionally and get the proper instruction like we give here at THE BLAST.
Students who are interested in competing in Mixed Martial Arts competitions, should join our Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes to get started. Once you are training in these programs for about 6 months you will be invited to train on TEAM BLAST for a upcoming competition. At that time we will pick a competition date and train you professionally for you to be at your best when you enter the arena!!
Muay Thai Kickboxing
Muay Thai Kickboxing is also becoming more and more popular. It is nothing now days to hear Muay Thai mentioned in the UFC, K-1 or ESPN. This sport is popular for its standing striking and upright grappling. Competitors do not go to the ground in this style of competition. The fights tend to be very exciting as competitors are displaying their Muay Thai Kickboxing striking skills.
Students who are interested in competing in Muay Thai Kickboxing must be signed up for our Muay Thai Kickboxing program. Once you train in this program for six months you will be invited to train on TEAM BLAST for a upcoming competition. At that time we will pick a competition date and train you professionally for you to be at your best when you enter the arena.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is what made the UFC popular. In this style of competition you will compete in ground grappling competitions. There is typically two different types of a BJJ event for you to compete in. GI (BJJ Uniform) or No GI (shirt and shorts), students score points by takedowns and different Brazilian Jiu Jitsu positioning. A submission cancels all points and can win the match at any point and time. This style of competition is the best for people who want to compete without being hurt.
