Capoeira is an excellent addition to anyone's training, improving cardio, flexibility, and endurance - all while having tons of FUN!
​
​The Capoeira classes are taught by Nicolas Ayala, who is associated with Capoeira Maculelê Athens.
Capoeria
At Megalodon, our MMA instruction consists of a combination of standing, ground, and takedown. Instructors emphasize proper techniques unique to MMA. We draw from the groundwork of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and standing / striking from Muay Thai.
​
We recommend anyone interested in competing in Mixed Martial Arts to also complete extensive training in both Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai basics. Our MMA class will put the foundations of the two martial arts together.
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA)
Our Muay Thai classes are based on the foundations of the Sit Quan Tong Association and it's founder, Scott Hicks. Scott is known throughout the Southeast as one of the best Muay Thai coaches. Scott has trained many fighters in the Megalodon program and around the world.
​
The classes themselves are led by Scott's trained fighters. They use a balance of skill and cardio to improve fighting skills.
Muay Thai
Our BJJ program is headed by third degree black belt Casey Baynes and consist of both Gi and no Gi training. BJJ develops the art of submission grappling and develops the ground aspect of fighting. BJJ utilizes technique and leverage to overwhelm an opponent usually resulting in a tap out (submission).​
​
Classes usually consist of stretching, emphasis on proper technique, and live grappling. BJJ is a great way to improve cardio, strength, flexibility, self-defense, and is a key aspect to any successful fighting system.
