What Our Students Say About Training at 1026 MMA

Why Our Students Choose 1026

People come to us in Yelahanka and Amruthahalli for different reasons—some for self-defense, some for fitness, and others to compete. What they stay for is the environment. We don't believe in the 'lonely gym' culture. Whether you are learning the fundamentals of Boxing or the technical intricacies of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), you are doing it alongside a community that cheers for your progress.

The Training Approach

When Aditi mentions training in wrestling and kickboxing, she is touching on the core of our curriculum. We focus on:

• Technique Over Brute Force: We teach you how to use leverage to control opponents, which is vital for women's self-defense and smaller fighters.
• Safe Sparring: We use a 'win or learn' mentality. You aren't here to get beaten up; you are here to learn how to move, react, and counter.
• Community Integration: Our kids, adults, and competitive fighters train in a shared space. This mix creates a supportive vibe where the experienced guide the newcomers.

What to Expect

If you are nervous about your first day, don't be. Our coaches, like Rakshita, are on the mat with you, shouting 'Push!' or 'Hodi!' (Hit!) to keep your energy high. You will learn specific skills like jab-cross combinations for striking and escapes for grappling, all while building functional strength through our conditioning circuits. It is tough, yes, but it is also the most fun you will have getting into shape.
