Chicago Mixed Martial Arts

For the first time in history, the two top styles that redefined martial arts, Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Sityodtong Muay Thai, have joined forces in Chicago. Over nearly 100 years, the Gracie family has developed a grappling-based fighting system that enables a person of average size and strength to defeat a much larger, much stronger opponent. Sityodtong Muay Thai kickboxing, the art of eight limbs, was founded in 1959 and continues to produce the most world champions in the history of the sport. To develop more complete martial artists with skills in grappling and striking, Chicago MMA now offers classes in both arts.
