Striking for MMA: Incorporating Strikes into Your Jiu Jitsu Game

While Jiu Jitsu is often associated with ground fighting, incorporating striking techniques can make you a more well-rounded martial artist. Our Striking for MMA class at 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu Walnut Creek focuses on developing the stand-up skills necessary for mixed martial arts (MMA).
