The Inside Secrets of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Training

Takedown MMA Academy is the best gym for Mixed Martial Arts in Vaughan, Toronto. Our classes are designed to not only give you a challenging and satisfying workout, but also to keep your mind active and to allow you to meet new people.

What you should know about MMA before jumping into a program..

There is a growing popularity of Mixed Martial Arts schools due to the UFC, and a lot of gyms/schools who are unqualified, are offering MMA classes. It can make it extremely difficult for anyone to decide on which school would be best for them.

To succeed in Mixed Martial Arts, you must learn one Martial Art at a time. You have to develop the skills and muscle memory before putting it all together.

MMA is a mixture of striking, takedowns, and ground work. If you jump into MMA right away, there is no way that you will progress. You need to breakdown each technique before moving on to the next. If you don’t do this, it will only slow down your progress and you may become confused because there is too much to think about.

This is what these “wanna-be-MMA schools” don’t know or don’t tell you!

Now that you know the truth, at Takedown we will find out which Martial Art is best for you to start off with, and then we will move forward.

Max feels at home training here!

“ I’ve been training at Takedown for just over a few months now. So far it’s been a great experience! The staff here is amazing, Gianfranco really knows his stuff. And the people that go here really make it feel like a family, more than a gym. And that’s what I like about it. “ – Max Broyda, Maple, Ontario

Didn’t know anything about Martial Arts or Fitness

“I’m a Takedown member, and I’ve been here since the beginning. I train in the conditioning and muay thai kickboxing classes. When I first started, I didn’t know anything about martial arts or fitness. Thanks to Gianfranco, I’ve reached my goals. I’ve gained strength, endurance and great technique, my body has never looked so great. The training I received at Takedown is the best. We are like a big family, the atmosphere is amazing and everyone is always willing to help. I recommend Takedown MMA to anyone.” – Nicola Schiracci, Woodbridge, Ontario

Having fun and gaining self-confidence…

“I really like the way that coach and mentor your students to focus on self-protection and to wisely use the Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu skills you teach for self-protection only and with a sense of duty that is rarely seen in many dojos. I also like the way that you focus on developing the character and leadership of developing young minds. I can see that the character that you help build can benefit schools, home life, later life-skills and society in general. It is easy to see that the students are having fun and gaining self-confidence while learning how to protect themselves. I encourage any parent focused on anti-bullying or leadership skills to enroll their young children in your school. Thank you for the skills you are teaching my son.” – Ross, Woodbridge Ontario
