How Our Mixed Martial Arts

Training Comes Together

How Our Mixed Martial Arts Training Comes Together

Our MMA program at KCMA is built around Erik Paulson’s proven MMA system, drawing heavily from Combat Submission Wrestling and Shooto. Rather than simply mixing unrelated arts together, KCMA’s curriculum provides a structured method for connecting Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, Wrestling, clinch work, takedowns, throws, ground control and submissions. Shooto’s emphasis on fluid transitions between striking, grappling and quick finishes further strengthens this approach, giving students a complete training method designed for the demands of modern Mixed Martial Arts.

Together, these methods help students develop a complete understanding of grappling—from standing exchanges to ground control and submission.

Connecting Every Range of Combat

KCMA’s Filipino and Southeast Asian Martial Arts curriculum blends Filipino Martial Arts with Silat into one adaptable system. Students train with weapons including sticks and blades while learning how the same principles of movement, timing, angles and control carry into striking, trapping, joint locks, takedowns and empty-hand defense. This integrated approach develops coordination, awareness and practical skills across multiple ranges.

My son was interested In martial arts however he wasn’t sure exactly what type he wanted to do and was nervous about his first class. We arrived and were greeted warmly and he was given excellent instruction and extra attention. It was a wonderful experience and he looks forward to multiple classes and styles of martial arts each week!

I've been to several martial arts schools over the past decade, and KCMA is by far the best. From your first class, it's clear that Coach Keith's knowledge and expertise are exceptional. He's a true martial arts professional who genuinely cares about his students' growth in both combat skills and discipline. Coach Keith always makes himself available before and after classes to review the curriculum and help us fine-tune our form. If you're serious about leveling up your skills and abilities, this is the place to be.

I have been training at KCMA for a few months now, having primarily looked for a gym that offers CSW. As an experienced martial artist who has trained at various academies in various arts/systems, I feel I can gauge the quality of instruction fairly well. I have to say that coach Keith is a very experienced martial artist, who, through his competence, personality, and open-mindedness has already made me better not only at grappling, but also at boxing and kickboxing. The atmosphere at KCMA is very open and welcoming, and even people completely new to martial arts are not overwhelmed or intimidated by what is being taught and how it is being taught. At the same time, experienced practitioners and competitors are being challenged and met at their level, so they can continue to progress. I’m looking forward to continue my martial arts journey at KCMA and would recommend this academy to anyone who is interested in building or advancing a martial arts skill set for themselves or their children.
