To control and overcome greater size, strength, and aggression with lesser size and strength is the keynote of the sport. This is done by utilizing superior leverage, grip, and position upon your opponent. Students of the sport gain a deep understanding of the workings and limits of the human body.

This knowledge can be used to subdue and control an opponent with whatever level of severity the student chooses. The path to this knowledge is physically and mentally demanding. Students benefit from greatly increased physical fitness, problem-solving ability, self-knowledge of their body and mind and the many social benefits of working within a large group of like-minded fellow students as you learn and have fun together.

Submission Grappling is mainly based on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu. The influence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can be seen in the types of positions and submissions most commonly used in the sport.

Bullying has become a problem in society today.  It is in our schools, on the school bus, online, and in activities in which our children participate. These bullies simply don’t care about others. Our children are being affected in so many ways by those who bully.  No one should have to feel the anguish of loneliness, and abandonment, the physical and mental heartache and pain due to the insensitivity of the person/or persons who are bullying. Bullies prey just because they can get away with it!  By bullying they try to satisfy their own inadequacies, thinking they have to prove something to themselves or others, and all at the expense of another person.

Some signs of being bullied may be depression or withdrawal, refusal to be involved in any outside activities, school work plummeting, crying easily, or striking out at home or at others.  In some cases you may even see the signs of physical abuse, like bruising or worse. If you notice any behavioral changes in your child, please talk with them, and if it is abuse by a bully- report it!

At Dayton MMA we teach students how to recognize, handle and diffuse these kinds of situations.  We do not promote confrontation.  Confidence, self worth, respect, dialog, positive and confident attitude, and self defense techniques are just a few of the tools we, at Dayton MMA, strive to teach and instill in each of our students. These are the same techniques used by law enforcement to subdue a dangerous attacker without causing physical harm.  While in our program, they will increase their physical and mental stamina, building great mental and physical reflexes, improve memory and concentration, and respect for themselves, their peers, and others.  These are all great life skills which they will carry with them throughout their lives.
