5. I want to learn MMA techniques, however, I'm unsure if I want to fight in the ring. Can I still train at Bull's Gym?
--------------------------------------------
While we encourage people to compete, it is not a requirement. If you train here, you will receive the same attention as our fighters regardless of your participation in ring fights.
--------------------------------------------
6. What equipment will I need for MMA?
---------------------------------------------
Safety is very important at Bull's Gym. For MMA classes, you need at minimum a mouth guard and an athletic cup. For stand up training, you will also need 16 ounce gloves, shin guards, wrist wraps, and a protective helmet. If you have injuries that require them, knee, elbow, and ankle braces are recommended.
--------------------------------------------
7. I am out of shape/inexperienced/etc, should I improve before trying Bull's Gym?
--------------------------------------------
Don't worry. Nobody comes to their first class in perfect shape, and the training at Bull's Gym will quickly improve your physical condition. As for a lack of experience, if you come to class a little early some of our experienced fighters will help you learn the basic techniques you will need to know, such as "sh*****ng," proper stances, and other skills.
