These videos show exactly how we build a fighter's foundation—striking, grappling, and everything in between. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Technique of the week: kick check to a counter-combination.

We don't just teach the move; we drill the reaction. For example, when checking a kick, it is not just about the block—it is about the immediate counter-attack. You will learn to chain movements together until they become muscle memory, which is the only way to stay calm when things get intense in the ring. ### How We Train At Sai MMA Academy, we do not believe in hacks or shortcuts. Whether you are working on the Matador sweep in BJJ or a jab-cross-hook combination in kickboxing, the principle is the same: repetition and discipline. **What you will see in our drills:** * **Reaction-Based Sparring:** We train for real-world scenarios. If your opponent throws a roundhouse kick, you need to know how to check and fire back instantly. * **BJJ Mechanics:** We focus on grip fighting and positioning. As you see in the Bow and Arrow choke demonstration, we prioritize keeping our chest to the partner and maintaining control before finishing the submission. * **Technique Correction:** In my classes, we spend time breaking down the details—like how to grip a collar or shift your weight during a sweep—that make the difference between a stalled movement and a successful transition. ### Where We Train We operate in Basapura and HSR Layout, providing a space where the focus is entirely on the training. We keep our batches mid-sized so that I can provide feedback on your form during every session. Whether you are a total beginner who has never thrown a punch or a student looking to compete in grappling tournaments, these techniques are the building blocks you will use every single day on the mats. Come train, sweat, and get better. Avvalothan. ## About Jagapathi Babu I am Babu. I run Sai MMA Academy, and my goal is simple: to make you a complete fighter.
